I apologize. I have no knowledge of you tearing into anyone. I have met some Christians who do so. Well-intentioned I'm sure.
I looked up 1st Corinthians 6:9 and was surprised. The KJV seems to mention effeminate men, then there is a very vague reference to abusing themselves with mankind. Both the NIV and ESV very specifically list homosexual men. No ambiguity. That would seem to be a stronger admonition.
If you see that the KJV brings you closer to God, by all means, you should continue to use it and recommend it. I just don't see any reason to attribute bad motives to the other translation. As for me, I have yet to come across any evidence of a nefarious purpose behind the NIV or the ESV, and yes I did read the entire chart.
But I thank you for sharing with me the argument of those opposed to other translations. Now I know.
You asked for examples of differences in a previous message and others answered before I got a chance to look up a suitable document on the Internet to answer your question. Actually, I don't consider the differences to be a real problem (oppose any particular translation) and I used to have an answer for some folks that were dead set on the KJV only and that answer is this: the Man is in the book no matter the translation. An oversimplification perhaps but that's the way I think about it and, there may be a little bit of mumbling and grumbling but that usually ends the argument.
There's another reason that I cross check versions... I find that comparisons of versions helps me to understand what's being said when I run into something that I'm having problems in understanding. If I'm still having problems, I look into what my Bible study program has to offer in the way of parallel and cross references. If this doesn't help satisfactorily, I dig into commentaries and other references offered by the program however deep that it takes. Then, there's always the Internet... a well phrased query in a search engine can bring an answer very quickly sometimes and enable me to tightly focus my search in existing references mentioned above.
Ah well, I've gotten carried away with my answer and pretty soon you'll be nodding off while reading this reply. Nuff said.
