I know that it is said that the newer translations are more accurate to the original transcripts ...but I have a real friendship with the KJV... it is like poetry and a sweet melody to our ears..
Happily, the Bible means things in English too. Read Proverbs 3:5-6 in the KJV and the NIV and see what I mean. KJV isn’t just the Word of God, it’s art.
My understanding is that the newer translations are more accurate UNTIL you hit the verses that people of a certain political bent found “offensive” and “discriminatory.” At those points they simply rewrote the passages to suit the feminist/homosexual/church-of-everything-goes agenda. No thanks, I’ll stick to the archaic stuff. Maybe give the Geneva a try.
