I've had my feet in and out over the years of really starting my journey into the words of Jesus Christ, but haven't fully accepted it. I finished watching [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ4NTdSK5ac] and my mind is blown. Especially the part he says towards the end that "why should god show himself to me if I won't continue banging on the door over and over?"
It's like I've been waiting for proof, but if I knock once or twice, don't get proof and give up, why should god present himself?
I encourage you all to watch this video. For those of us who were on Voat, it says a lot of what we already knew, but he provided sources, citations, photos. It's quite remarkable the work he put into this video.
Anyways, I would like to get myself a bible and I am curious what the most accurate version is?
I am also curious if the words of the bible today can be trusted? Who is to say the satanists didn't take over publication and tweak words, remove verses, etc? This is a legitimate concern of mine.
This is the most serious post I've ever made and I am genuinely looking forward to responses so I can proceed to the next step of this journey.
Despite being very popular, I heard that the KJV is the least accurate (most manipulated). But what do I know,? I'm a Lutheran.
There are nuances in the KJV that are lost in some other English translations. "One and only Son" vs "Only begotten Son" (KJV) is probably the biggest one. Some Christians understand is that be April children of Heavenly Father, which is lost in the former phrase. The latter satisfies that doctrine while still indicating Jesus' status as the one Child of God uniquely sired by Him.
Also a consideration is that there really is neither mortal translator nor accessible source that is perfect.
When it comes to translating Aramaic, we are all plant-like
I feel that way LoL
You are correct.
Yeah, I'm sure the world told you it's inaccurate. And that you can be a man or a woman, your choice. And you need to wear a mask or you'll die.
The KJV is the Word of God, infallible and without error. Read it for yourself, ask Christ or the Holy Spirit of God if you do not understand something.
KJV has been changed and altered more than any other version by a longshot. Definitely one of the most inaccurate versions. You can argue all day but it's true. Why point someone towards something that is incredibly hard to understand especially a new believer at that, despite your feelings on accuracy? This goes beyond whatever denomination you represent.
The ESV is blasphemy.
