Which Translation is the best.

James initiated a translation of the Bible into Scottish while he awaited the gain of the English throne. Once he had it verified that Elizabeth I was slowly slipping towards death, he re-assigned his transcribers to stop the Scottish translation and to focus on English. James viewed the Geneva Bible as more a heretic translation and poorly composed. Ethnocentrism at work there, presumably.

He did not see the Bible as a Roman church-only work of scripture. James had been raised protestant; yet, because of his parents, he also read & studied what he could of the Roman Church. However, he did not consider converting. He knew that he would run amok with his own nobility, and that it would forever prevent him from gaining the English throne after Elizabeth I's death.

I think he was son of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Sometimes known in history as 'the Wisest Fool in Christendom'.
 
Yes, he was the only child that Mary Queen of Scots had with her 2nd husband Henry, Lord Darnley. James was a young toddler when he was crowned King of Scots.
 
Taking away from Gods word is taking sides with the devil the punishment is fitting and will be felt for all eternity the King James doesn't do this others do that's what I'm referring to..

Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

If these are in the original, fine. I believe many of them probably are, in fact.

What we cannot justfiably do, however, is to 'correct' Greek - some Greek texts are more reliable than others - by the English.
 
@ farouk Lets try this: do you have another bible other than a King James?

tob

Yes, the 21 Century King James. Also, the Segond Bible in French, and the Reina-Valera Bible in Spanish (these weren't translated from the English of the King James). You see, it's the original that gives a printed translation -such as the King James - its authority textually.
 
Well i was looking for an English version i don't speak another language.. so how would this work, lets see what Acts 8 verses 35-39 looks like.. can you copy and paste those verses

Thanks.. :)

Are those verse in the Greek or were they derived from the Latin? this is a question to ask.

Blessings.
 
O.k. then maybe someone else has bible "Other than the King James" with those verses handy, what does yours say?

Are you trying to prove that they are genuine because the English has them? or because the original (however defined) has them?

Blessings.

This is still the fallacy of begging the question, as I pointed out on the previous page.

The question does not start with me reading it in the English, but rather with how it got there over the centuries in the first place.

It may bring you to that conclusion all i said was that the King James version has been under attack from day one.. and said attack will continue until they either take away our bibles or establish a one world translation that the last generation can live with, which i believe is where this is all headed.

II Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

tob
The KJV is not under attack. That is an argument used by KJVOism to justify their sustained attacks against other versions, and this done through some of the most fallacious reasoning one can come across. KJVOism is simply a tool of the devil to divide the Church, nothing more.
