masterplum 02/12/12 7:27:00 AM #20:	From: Hrezs \| #013 King james, first bible translated to english This isn't quite true, there was a william tyndale translation that wasn't the best. It was however the first good translation of the Bible into english. As someone who has read the entire bible cover to cover (I really do not recommend that btw, I did it just so I could say that I have) I would recommend the NIV for the old testament and probably the KJV for the new testament. I really like the NIV for the most part, but I believe there are errors in the translation, which I'm not going to get into in great detail about. However, the reading is much much easier and faster. If you want to read great lengths of the old testament where it is mostly historical instead of doctrinal, the NIV is certainly the way to go. On the other hand, the KJV is great for the new testament where I think the language used is very important to understand the doctrinal meanings of the text. -- Why is plum the smartest player in the topic today?

Because I'm checking on the catalog of the college and they have each book individually or commentaries, I can't find the NIV bible anywhere.Uh most bibles are not broken up like that. Most just have all of it together.This place has all of the major translations if you want to read it on your computer.http://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-versions/ </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

edwardsdv 02/13/12 11:00:00 AM #35:	Well there's a decent chunk of the old testament that isn't in the Christian bible, but appears in the Jewish ones, plus there are versions of the bible without Revelations and there are other "apocryphal" sections as well (as if half the book isn't apocryphal in the first place, but I digress.) There are also "Gospels" that were never accepted by the church. -- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/81edpngej.png edwardsdv and swordz9 are basically the comedy heel tag team of this topic, why would people be taking them seriously? <cite>edwardsdv posted [p:783604] in Okay so hu...

red sox 777 02/13/12 11:37:00 AM #43:	Not an expert on this, but I'd be pretty shocked if KJV was really one of the most accurate translations. It was translated around 1600.....I'm sure they did a great job with the resources they had, but we have much more access to original texts now, so it's be pretty astonishing if the modern translations were less accurate. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:783612] in Okay so hu...
