Yes, I've done this before and confusion abounds...
Then stop doing the same thing and there is a slight possibility of your abounding confusion clearing up

And you assume that scholars are not taught by God? What arrogance.
And every time a product is changed to say "NEW AND IMPROVED" it is guaranteed to be of a lesser quality, lesser quantity, and greater price. But the public is so easily fooled (it seems) that the hucksters continue with their shenanigans. The Great Bible Version Hoax took Christendom by storm, and there were very few who saw through the smoke and mirrors.
Except when the KJV misses it. One that comes to mind is translating Passover as 'Easter.'I'd challenge anyone to hold a bible study using at least 5 different translations . I did this and it was quite alarming as to the differences . Ultimately the kjv was consistent and every time those with the modern translations had to go to the greek when a 'difficult passage arose . I was not a kjv fan until this defining moment . The study is still going on ( 2 years total )
Have you ever read a modern English version of the bible? Even the KJV has a NKJV version available.Can you give an example?
You realize Isaiah wrote that in Hebrew. You are reading a revised version of a translation released in 1611 in English. It's a translation of the words Isaiah wrote.Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
The fallacy invalidates your argument. When you point at the error of another person, and do not deal with your own, you are not making a sound argument for your actions, but rather only diverting attention. It's what politicians and celebrities do, and people tolerate it. I won't from you or from any other person on a theological issue.You have some "fallacy" for everything you disagree with. The example I gave hits the point. You may have missed it.
It's not likely to happen. I have better things to do than run a study to test a KJV-only theory.Try the study .Its amusing if nothing else .
Psst… seventy years of captivity, not 400.Most of the Jews when Jesus was on the earth were using a Greek translation of the OT Hebrew. The Jews had lost their Hebrew language due to the over 400 years of captivity they has endured.
Come on ,this is like when Atheists always use the ' slavery ' argument.Except when the KJV misses it. One that comes to mind is translating Passover as 'Easter.'
We just started a bible study . Not for anything other than to go through the bible. Small group of 5 . It just so happened that we were all reading from different translations . I started with Nkjv, two had the kjv , one niv and another Nasb . I just assumed that the Nkjv was just a 'up dated 'version of the kjv ..The differences are crazy . In context the kjv completely overshadowed the rest .It's not likely to happen. I have better things to do than run a study to test a KJV-only theory.
Apples to oranges, and also a tu quoque fallacy. Deal with the criticism of your argument instead of trying to divert attention elsewhere.Come on ,this is like when Atheists always use the ' slavery ' argument.
And your conclusion is entirely subjective.We just started a bible study . Not for anything other than to go through the bible. Small group of 5 .

A two year side by side study going through each verse of the new testament? I think not . That was educational.And your conclusion is entirely subjective.
Surely we can do better than the ' Easter ' fiasco?Apples to oranges, and also a tu quoque fallacy. Deal with the criticism of your argument instead of trying to divert attention elsewhere.
King James Bible TranslatorsWhy not? And why do you trust the translators of the KJV?
King James Bible TranslatorsI am saying these teachings of scripture do not support your theory that the translation of your choice is some special way God preserves his word.
The 'word of God's does not exactly equal 'the Bible' in scripture. The word of the Lord came to many prophets. Some wrote some of the prophesies down. Others did not. The preached gospel message is also the 'word of God's.
The scriptures were given in Greek, Hebrew and a little Aramaic. Most of us use translations of the scriptures.
Your claim is falseI totally disagree with you! Translations do not influence our theology.
