[Knitting A Conundrum]

There is plenty of reason to be critical of a lot of what's going on with the inclusive language in translations, and even high level scholarly reasons why one might prefer one standardized text used for translation over another (there are 3, not just 2 major sets, btw).

But this is an ad hominem attack. Those type of things are never justified. If your case won't stand up without attacking the person's character, then you don't have a case. Moreover, it is calumny.

Myself, I used the Revised Standard Version as my mainstay, but I read all the decent translations and know why some things happen the way they do.

The inclusive language stuffis because people want to recreate the Bible with modern sensibilities. And those modern sensibilities are the real problem.

I use several Bibles including the KJV, NIV, NASB 1995, NRSV, ESV, NLB and those in the original languages. I find the KJV lacking in many areas.

My, my, my.... you guys are still at it. Let me kindly ask you one question. What in the world did God use prior to 1611 to communicate with man??? King James hated the Geneva Bible (the translation of the Reformers) He hated the Reformation with a passion and wanted that Bible eradicated. God inspired the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic versions. Translations are not "verbally inspired." Take a simple hermeneutic class or something.

King James Only-ism

An aberrant teaching that considers the King James Version - specifically the '1611 Authorized Version' - to be the only legitimate English-language Bible version.

KJV-onlyists who go so far as to insist that people who do not use the King James Version are not saved, are heretics (in that they violate the Biblical doctrine of salvation by adding conditions not taught in Scripture).

It was the NIV that convinced me that the Good News was the Good News. I won't take seriously anybody that disses the NIV.

And yes I've read the King James, a very beautiful, spirit-filled translation, extensively.
