[LukeL]

You shouldn’t use the NIV because it is corrupt.

Please provide an example. Blanket statements like that hold no water.

And I suppose your KJV is accurate?

Look. If you open your Bible right now and you ain’t looking at this:

Then I submit to you that your version is just as corrupt.

Absolute rubbish. The KJV is a word-for-word translation, which sounds swell, but in reality, word-for-word translations distort an awful lot of stuff.

The NIV translates more conceptually, with more insight into what phrases mean in context. It is simply a more accurate way of translating things.

And yes, I do know enough Hebrew and Greek to make up my own mind. You can get the Truth from either translation, but to dote on word-for-word translations as being the gold standard, ignores how language works.
