It never ceases to amaze me how folks will gag at knats and swallow camels.Please brother....not the KJVO thing again. I Pastored a KJVO church for 14 months and it nearly killed me.
So...let me get this straight...people in Germany aren't allowed to read in the German translation?
What about the Geneva translation (the one carried by most immigrants to America)?
And spanish readers can't use some translation other than KJV?
And my using the Hebrew and Greek is wrong too?
Gosh...that would seem like an awful lot of the bibles out there being a sin to use.
Word for word equivalents versus thought for thought equivalents...
John, you know that none of us is supporting a KJVO position...right? In fact, I am strongly opposed to the King James Only movement.So...let me get this straight...people in Germany aren't allowed to read in the German translation?

Not to continue to sidetrack the thread but most typical KJV Onlyists would state that they are KJV Only for those that speak English. Some will say you should translate from the English KJV to Spanish, German or etc. Some will also accept translating from the TR manuscripts to Spanish, German or etc. The really far out will say you need to teach everyone English so they can read the only true word of God. Did you know that his is common in Islamic circles? Some believe that only the Arabic Koran is god's word.
will wonders never cease?Yep, and Jefferson actually wrote his own translation of the New Testament.
Jefferson Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sorry about the wiki source but it's quick and accurate actually in this case.
Thanks for listening.

nope...just your agreement with anything I ever have to say...
The Churches I have attended seem to love the NIV and the Message Bible.
The Message....REALLY?
I second that motion
What? The message is a paraphrase. It isn't really even scripture. It has as much authority as a study bible foot note.
Here is my position on that...I dont like it very much however there are many people in the urban areas that do not read well. The message gets the general point across to lead people to the light. So if God uses it to lead people to Himself...I just bow down and accept the results.
