Which is the best Bible version?

So, what do you base your Christian faith upon if do not believe the Bible? I believe the Bible is without error as it was originally given to men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Many translations may lose some of the original meaning.
What else exists to base your Christian faith upon?
The Holy Spirit reveals the truth to us as we read His Word.
Some translations like the King James version is 99.99% accurate. The other .01% concerns small details.
Many translations of today are sufficient.

I voted KJV.

God Bless,
Justin.

I love the king james version myself, it is very well translated and poetic for me, even while most I know use either NLT or NIV, both which don't hold the same power to me.

I especially like the extended use of 'beloved' within KJV while some of the newer, updated ones use more modern language. But to each their own.

Do you have a source for this statistic?

i prefer the NASB version; im not quite sure that the KJV is as accurate

The King James Version is the best as it has the proper words actually in red that were spoke by Jesus. It is also formatted in the original way of words at the time.

Im-revived

I prefer NIV for reading, but we (as in hubby & I) have several versions NIV, KJV, Living, Revised Standard, 'The Message' that we refer to. I think, considering the possibility of errors in translation (inspired by God, but done by the hands of men after all!!) , changing nature of language, changing culture, etc. I always think its a good idea to look at what a few different versions say to get a better picture.

Yeah, be great if we all had original texts and could read ancient Hebrew/Greek, etc. and perfectly understood the culture of the period the things were written in, but we don't - and I think that's why the bible says the early christian church gathered together daily to discuss the scriptures (just like an ancient CF forum ) and that's why I think that small group fellowships are at least as important, if not more so, than church services, because it provides us with different perspectives of the same reading, and helps us to remain open minded.

It is my opinion that the King James Version is, by far, the best English translation of the Bible. It does not omit anything, and is the most accurate. I find it more spiritually fulfilling then the other translations as well.

The New King James Version is the difference between Old English and current day English while keeping the original context.

I use the NIV version, although i could not say which one is the best, I've only read the NIV and some of the KJV. But I don't like the newest bibles that break down every sentence and word into very simple things. I like some complexity.
