Very Important Information about Bible Translations

[Victoria]

Precious friend, seems I made the correct decision many years ago choosing God's
One And Only Preserved Holy, and Precious Word Of Life (AV) instead of trying to 'waste
time' deciphering/finding Truth In over:

"100+ ever-changing ( questioning, adding, subtracting, watering-down and Denying words in )​

newer-easier-to-understand" versions?​

​

Makes Perfect Sense to me that God Is Consistent and NEVER-Changing, eh?

Be Blessed!

Amen!

I'm blessed to have purchased the KJB (1769) from the start... & that's before I even knew of these other versions
In my experience, it didn't help matters any how the TC's acted towards me just b/c I hold to the KJB.
It wasn't displaying the fruit of the Holy Spirit, just carnality

The wonderful goal exists to have the scriptures with the best testimony of the original sense.
Here's a video I'm watching now. The guy may have the goodest approach:

Perhaps you'd enjoy this 4-part series, given you like watching videos on the topic.
I couldn't post them here b/c they're sermons...

I've been checking broader sources.

Sure. I already saw one of the videos is slandering Christians. If the translation or the Greek stand on their own, there is no need to tear others apart.

Pastor Tom Bruscha isn't slandering any Christians.
I'm not sure where you got that idea from.

John the baptist called out blasphemous heretics.
Jesus called out blasphemous heretics.
Peter, & Paul called out blasphemous heretics.
No one is above reproach.

Godly men are commanded by God to expose evil.
Attacking Jesus Christ is the real slander.

Liberalism is of this world, it doesn't belong in the church.
God's truth is absolute, it's not relative.

Your points are fine inasmuch as you get the definitions and circumstances correct. Sometimes people call things heresies because they have a different interpretation from the one the other person has instead of righteous judgments.

Christians exalt God. There's the difference in a nutshell.
Glorifying man is idolatry.

Ok. If I find you glorifying man, I will try to remind you what you said.

The Traditional versions are the only ones that use The Majority text and the Textus Receptus. The MT is comprised of 95% of all existing manuscript copies, along with the TR, which was written by Erasmus.

I do have some interest in seeing if the Byzantine or Textus Receptus or whatever is a better option. However, the conspiracy stuff does not appear to be substantiated. Anyhow, what I would anticipate is just to give more consideration than I have to the translations based on that the lengthier Greek text. My studies likely will be on the Nestle-Aland since that is more popular for scholarly writings. Check back with me in 30years.

At least you're warming up to the Byzantine, which is good. I'll keep twisting your arm meanwhile until you cry uncle.
You don't have 3 years, let alone 30! Better get crackin'!

I basically assumed I have 6 years left in me to write on the main topics and maybe get people pointed in the right direction on other topics.

Just don't forget to pass your work on over to me first for an inspection

"The Byzantine text-type and the Textus Receptus are closely related, but they are not the same. The Textus Receptus is a specific edition of the Greek New Testament that is based on the Byzantine text, but it is a more limited form that was compiled by Erasmus and later editors."

The Holy Spirit is my bible translator.

 

[mikesw]

The Holy Spirit is my bible translator.

I'm just waiting to see that translation when available. sorry. I'm being silly since it is Sunday.

The question here is whether the Holy Spirit is translating from the Byzantine text or the Nestle-Aland.

 

[Victoria]

The question here is whether the Holy Spirit is translating from the Byzantine text or the Nestle-Aland.

When in doubt, follow the trail that leads back to Romans 3:1-2; Acts 11:26.

Oracles of God = the Jews (Hebrew)
First called Christians = Antioch (Aramaic, Greek)
