Subject: which bible translation is true? |
Bible Note: I agree with Ric and use NASB as well, but I think the question may be larger than this. What is the Bible? I believe the Bible is the history of God's relationship with man. I think, if viewed in this context, that nearly all translations can lead one to understand God's relationship with man, and ultimately His amazing grace toward us. In this sense, they are each true and equally valid, though some may get us there easier than others. I would not be comfortable reading the original Greek, as I am poor at language skills. Some find it difficult to read the King James, as it is written in language of the 1600's. Some find difficulty reading NASB, and prefer the Living Bible. God is not bound by man's wording and neither are we, thanks to His providence. The real question is... is the Bible true in the larger sense? On this, there is no doubt to all those who have studied with an open mind. God loves you and me and He says so in a thousand ways... if we will listen. Praise His name! Curt |
