So in your opinion Strong's translation is right and the ten world renowned versions translations are wrong ?
If that is your opinion, let us agree to disagree.
Here is some stuff that may pique your curiosity and perhaps motivate you to explore more about the Version you are exclusively relying on . I personally read from Bible hub which provides several translations which help me understand better what a verse is saying .
Anyways here is some stuff about KJV and NASB:
The King James Version (KJV) was published in 1611 at the behest of King James I of England.
As king, James was also the head of the Church of England, and he had to approve of the new English translation of the Bible, which was also dedicated to him.
James didn’t write it, who did? To begin with, there’s no single author. One individual—Richard Bancroft, the archbishop of Canterbury—was notable for having the role of overseer of the project, something akin to a modern editor of a collection of short stories. The actual translating (writing) of the KJV was done by a committee of 47 scholars and clergymen over the course of many years.
NASB
The New American Standard Bible is considered by some sources as the most literally translated of major 20th-century English Bible translations. According to the NASB's preface, the translators had a "Fourfold Aim" in this work:
These publications shall be true to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
They shall be grammatically correct.
They shall be understandable.
They shall give the Lord Jesus Christ His proper place, the place which the Word gives Him; therefore, no work will ever be personalized.
The NASB is an original translation from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts, based on the same principles of translation, and wording, as the American Standard Version (ASV) of 1901. It offers an alternative to the Revised Standard Version (1946–1952/1971), which is considered by some to be theologically liberal, and also to the 1929 revision of the ASV.
The Hebrew text used for this translation was the third edition of Rudolf Kittel's Biblia Hebraica as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia was consulted for the 1995 revision. For Greek, Eberhard Nestle's Novum Testamentum Graece was used; the 23rd edition in the 1971 original,[9] and the 26th in the 1995 revision.
The Open Bible edition of the New American Standard Bible in the Church of Saint Mary, an Episcopal Church in Sagada, Mountain Province, the Philippines.
Seeing the need for a literal, modern translation of the English Bible, the translators sought to produce a contemporary English Bible while maintaining a word-for-word translation style. In cases where word-for-word literalness was determined to be unacceptable for modern readers, changes were made in the direction of more current idioms. In some such instances, the more literal renderings were indicated in footnotes.
The greatest strength of the NASB is its reliability and fidelity to the original languages
Now you know why there are many other versions. Because they likely feared if King James fiddled with some portions (verses) of the Bible or this dude Bancroft , who was the overseer of the project messed, the Churches would end up studying the King's or Bancroft's words rather than God's words! So to make sure that didn't happen they did their own research and used the evidence they had and made Bible versions which had no monarch or his archbishop in its creation.
I wish you good luck on your absolute reliance on King James Version and rejection of ten other versions.
To your repeated question how many books my Bible has. Answer is 66. But I choose not to read 13 of them. Got the answer you were looking for?
In my opinion Strongs is correct. In the opinion of Scripture, Strongs is correct. Remember (Heb. 3:18-19)?
How ironic. You want to school me on the various translations of the Bible, all the while rejecting Paul's epistles.
So, you either choose not to read 13 books of the written Word of God, or, you reject Paul's eipstles as the written Word of God. But of course you would have to reject Peter also. Correct? (2 Peter 3:15-16)
I got some of the answer I was looking for. Not all though. Is the Bible the written Word of God. All 66 books?
