Favourite Bible Translations

That is not evidence; that is assertion and opinion.

Which one may do with any major translation, or with several translations together.

You have no argument.

It’s called making a mountain out of a mole hill, although in this case, I would call it an ant hill

What you are doing is going outside of Scripture for your understanding. My point is you don’t have to do that with the KJV.

Thanks for your opinions...

Yeah, actually as a person who never heard the word grace, did have to go outside of the bible

your not listening to reality, your trying to make up senecio us which fit you and your situation, not real life senerio s

Not really, you need to read the context.

7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

You see the word but? That means that God will not destroy Noah because he found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Noah is being given life not death. Noah was given grace and instructed to build an ark to be saved.

Nothing that E-G said hinted at "going outside of Scripture for your understanding". He said he went to another translation, which is not "outside of Scripture" (regardless of your opinion on the matter).

I am certain that you did not come to Scripture as a blank slate, and learn the meaning of every word in the KJV by searching out its first usage. Nor do I believe that you have only looked in the KJV for meanings of words you initially encountered in the KJV (it's possible, but unlikely). Those are valid methods of study, but not exclusive. Dictionaries exist, among other things, for the purpose of explaining the meaning and usage of unfamiliar words. There is no shame to using them. What is unfortunate, however, is the absence of a 16th-century-English dictionary to explain the meanings of words as they were used then. Strong's is a poor substitute for that, and few people have the time to hunt down each instance of a word on their own.

You are free to believe that "the KJV is its own dictionary", but using that as a justification for your KJV-only position it is akin to tying a bandanna over your eyes, sticking your fingers in your ears, and yelling at others that they are blind and deaf.

But noah found grace..

if I do NT know what the word grace is, have no ability to properly interpret, I can make some guesses and may get it right, but I have no way to know for sure. without looking the word grace up.

sorry bud, but your wrong here.

I would just think that the one dead language are those who change the text over time. Those expired words that needs updating. As long as the text is there and is being studied, pondered, explain and taught without alteration then I can see it as alive. The living word of God changes lives.

Depending on the theologian you talk to, the Earth is either 5000 years old or over 4 billion. I subscribe to the the latter age...

Um, that doesn't make sense. Perhaps it's your attempt to write in English thoughts that originated in another language, but "those who change the text" would be humans. The last time I checked, humans are not languages, living or dead, and languages don't change the text.

So Latin is not a "dead" language? Sorry, but your understanding is incorrect. The term "dead language" has an objective definition which Magenta provided in post #1596: "one that is no longer the native language of any community."

Which is true with any translation of the word of God. Scripture doesn't say, "For the KJV is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword". Only those who exclusively (and erroneously) conflate the two would read it that way.

Are the new versions easier? Time to update the NASB.😂

Matthew 9:17 - NASB / wineskins - KJV / bottles
Matthew 1:11 - NASB / deportation - KJV / carried away
Luke 6:22 - NASB / ostracize - KJV / separate you from their company
1 Thes. 2:18 - NASB / thwarted - KJV / hindered
1 Tim. 3:3 - NASB / pugnacious - KJV / striker
1 Tim. 3:8 - NASB / sordid - KJV / filthy
1 Tim. 6:16 - NASB / a pang - KJV / sorrows
Hebrews 7:2 - NASB / apportioned - KJV / gave
Hebrews 12:1 - NASB / encumbrance - KJV / weight
Revelation 6:8 - NASB / ashen - KJV / pale
Revelation 18:1 - NASB / illumined - KJV / lightened

You posted this list earlier in this thread, and I addressed it thoroughly. Why do you repeat yourself?

Yes, you gave your opinions...

Are the NASB words that I posted used in everyday English by most people? I don't think so. Time to update the outdated NASB.

How about "back date"? Since back dating became rather popular recently with fraudulent ballots if could apply to other situations.

Again you claim knowledge about "most people". Do you understand what an irrelevant appeal is?

Yes, by anyone that's older than 8 (give or take for a few whizz kids) that are English speakers. That's a really weak argument you got there.

Are you being pugnacious by ostracizing my comments, or are you truly trying to illuminate me?

Have you checked to see if you are using them there words correctly?
