[QUOTE="oi_antz, post: 68098571, member: 261524"] OP. I think it is wrong to take KJV as the only authoritative translation, because there is still translation going on. IMO, comparing translations can help to view the original meaning as it is understood by a variety of readers of the native language, and gives the best opportunity to really understand what was originally said. But we are always at the mercy of the translator anyway, unless we read Greek natively. I have not yet tried to find out what motivates KJV only proponents, but I reckon it is probably their view of reducing confusion by establishing a standard. However, St Paul warned us to not quibble about words. The point should be broadly visible, and we should examine rather the doctrines that we illuminate the scriptures with, because that tends to show up translation errors quite effectively. [/QUOTE]
