"The RSV is MUCH more accurate than the KJV..."

No, it's not. Here's the truth about the RSV.

The Revised Standard Version - 1952

It's packed with lies and distributed by apostates.

[RonHolzwarth]

Perhapst thou art correct.

I shall hearken unto thee, and consider the truths that thou hast revealed unto me.

[RonHolzwarth]

Besides, I'm Jewish anyway.

So, only the Tanakh, composed of the Torah, Neviim, and Ketuvim, all in the original Hebrew and Aramaic, are accurate, since they have never undergone a single translation, ever.

The King James Version will always be a literary as well as spiritual classic to English speaking peoples, both as a translation and as a work of world literature. But it has its defects; its increasingly archaic language, four centuries removed from modern idiom along with new discoveries by scholars both about the original texts and the biblical world, has resulted in new translations of the Bible. The Revised Standard Version is based on the KJ and is a literal word for word translation of the original Greek and Hebrew. The Revised English Bible is more paraphrastic and free rendition of the sense rather than the words of the Scriptures. Other texts serve other concerns - the New Jerusalem Bible is directed at Catholics, the JPS Tanakh at Jews, and the New International Version serves conservative evangelical Christians. There has never been and will never be a true ecumenical Bible since different faith communities view the Word Of God and doctrines according to their own received understanding.
