Subject: NIV bible |
Bible Note: Greetings kw5kw, and welcome to the forum. I was saved reading a Douay Version of the Bible but shortly there after I started reading the KJV and all of the verses that I have memorized are from the KJV. We use the NIV in the church that I attend but if “I” were to pick a single version, that I like best, as far as being the closest to the actual meaning of the originals, it would probably be the ASV. I don’t know what it is about the KJV with me, but I guess the old saying applies, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. I have to laugh to my self some times in church because a lot of the pastors get going, and even though we are looking at a particular verse of Scripture in the NIV, they will quote from memory the KJV with out even realizing it. When I get down to serious study I use about 10 different translations and even the Koine Greek, to get a better understanding of certain words. Have a great day, CDBJ |
