1 | Why so many Bibles? | Bible general Archive 3 | Md1234 | 166715 | ||
I understand that a person is free to choose what they read and if it is a matter of understanding what they are reading I would understand that, However I have read parts of scriptures from different versions of the Bible not to criticize any of them and the same scripture when read didn't even have the same meaning. Wouldn't that be even more confusing, especially for the young christian who never had the opportunity to be taught differently. Who is right and who is wrong is not for me to be the Judge but God is not the author of confusion.I could understand changing languages because people in different countries don't speak the same but I can't understand so many different versions being printed in the same language. Jesus didn't speak in several different terminologies did he? | ||||||

No, Jesus did not speak to the people in several languages. He also did not speak in a language that was spoken by only 5 or ten percent (or less) of the population. Neither was the New Testament written in an ancient, archaic, obsolete dialect. It was written in the common, everyday language of the people. It was written to be understood. I am not against the KJV. I love it, quote it from memory, and read it every day. (I doubt that many people born after 1945 have read the KJV more than I have.) Personally I don't believe in dumbing down a translation for the convenieince of the masses of people. Also, I agree with you that it would be very helpful if everyone used the same translation of the Bible. If I had my way, we would. And it sure wouldn't be the NIV. Grace to you, Kalos |
