Although the King James version may be good but it's not good enough. I watch many different ministries on the Christian channels from Perry Stone to John Hagee to Amazing Facts to Irvin Baxter to also Paster Murray to many others as well and I hear alot of times in their teachings that when they come to a certain word they may pause there and say the actually meaning in the Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic of this word is and it is most usually in comparison to the transalation of the King James. And even the 700 club mentions that there can be some mistranslation there as I watched a question on the subject being answered on T.V..
There is nothing wrong with getting the meaning as close to the orginal language as possible.
They are not hesitant to do that on T.V.because they think that is a good thing to do and so do I.
The King James people translaters no matter how admired they may be were only translaters and we must not give them diety "of course" as only God's Holy word has that and that would be in the orginal Hebrew, Greek , Aramaic language used.
Like in the word pharmekia or pharmakos, pharmakon translated as sorcery or in the original Greek word, “chloros' better translated as green but translated as pale and the greek word for passover as easter and also recaptering the Jewish roots of the entire Bible and learning the differences between Idoms and figures of speech used in the Bible and even though the Dead Sea Scrolls mostly verified the scriptures as being pretty acurate.
Any differences in a word used in that scripture should go before any latter translation in the orginal language used.
The more accurate the translation the better.
It helps clarify it much better in meaning for the reader.
It does make a difference of course the best translation of the orginal words used is of course, the best.
That's why I like the Hebrew, Greek, English Coded with Strong's Concordance numbers the best.
But also have the One New Man Bible they mentioned on that link to view.
And then I research it all myself to see where they very in translation.
Which one is more sticking to the original word.
Still looking through it and cross checking to see and a person can learn alot by just doing that but of course it's alot to study.
But highly interesting indeed!
