Bible Question: can anyone tell me which is the best bible to use is it the niv or king james |
Bible Answer: A lot depends on what you want from a Bible. The KJV is an old standard that many use today. There are better translations if you want a more accurate Bible. The New American Standard Bible is perhaps the best, some would say the English Standars Version. I personally trust the New American Standard Bible the most. These two Bible translations are as close to word for word that can be made into English. The KJV is good but was translated in 1611 and lacks the use of older manuscripts that the NASB and the ESV USED. Thr NIV has been updated and has become an issue for some. The NIV no longer publishes the orignal updated of 1984 NIV. The newest revision done in 2011 uses gender neutral language. This presents real issues for some conserative christians. I for one, am uncertain, and without further study, I will withold my approval or reccomending the 2011 NIV for now. Chheck with your pastor ans see what he uses and suggests. Blessings |
