I use the New American Bible and the Douay Rheims
have you read the KJV? if you can understand that style of writing then you can understand the Douay-Rheims translation, they came out about the same time
I think the New Testament of the Douay Rheims came out even before the KJV
the rheims bible?
hmmmm haven't heard that one in a while.
but I like the byzantine text type, byzantine family, type manuscripts.
so the KJV, and 1 or two others are from these manuscripts, athough many majority text translations are in the works currently. Some better quality than others.
but regardless we need to stray from NASB, NIV, and ESV (uugg)....because they are from questionable manuscripts.
I still use the ESV as a greek tool to see how some words are translated, because it is a quite excellent word for word translation, it's just that it is based on a questionable alexandrian text like the sinaiticus.
more on the alleged sinaiticus forgery here:

here is an analysis on the priority of the byzantine over the modern texts source (alexandrian):

and some other translations that are not archaic like the KJV but still based on majority text:
(some links criticize some majority text translations, others support them, this is my list of links, they are unsorted and for your analysis and feedback as you have time)
