[Moved to exploring Christianity] Greetings to all - I have a question
I am interested in finding out what would be considered to be the most accurate translation of the bible. I've searched the polls section, and all I found was a poll asking for people's favorite translation, which turned out to be the kjv.
Is there any translation that can be recommended as the most accurate translation? Are there any translations that I should completely avoid?
Welcome to CF! I personally read the KJV. I am not sure the exact answer to your question but will pray you find the answers!

Heavenly Father,
I feel the Darkness engulfing me. The burden is so
heavy to bear, I thank you that you have promised
to take this weight from me.I will surrender it to you, leaving in your loving hands.

I tend to use the New King James Version, but the Amplified Version is also good (gives you every possible meaning for each word). Of course, if you're really trying to understand a particular passage, nothing beats grappling with the original language. I am learning Hebrew at the moment, and realise just how much meaning and depth is lost in translation.

My apologies. I did not notice you were a non-Christian. I hope you find what you are looking for!

The 1995 NASB is considered most accurate by many...
I regularly use the NASB, NIV, KJV, The Complete Hebrew Bible, and I also have other
bibles including a copy of The 1599 Geneva Bible...that version came over
with the pilgrims.
I would suggest that if you are interested in reading the bible, then get a translation
you can read and understand the language it uses.
A study bible it is quite informative and many newbies or seekers find it useful.
