great because "He saved me because He liked me." sounds SOOOOO much better than "He rescued me because He delighted in me." Psalm 18 v 19

A translation is a translation. Yes, there can be variations of the way a word is translated, but these variations do not change the innate meaning of the text. Anything that goes beyond that is either a perversion or a paraphrase. Only an accurate translation can be trusted.

The New King James version is a much better translation than the “old” KJV. The NKJV is about my favorite.

I guess we should expect to start seeing terms: He-She, Transsexual, etc. in Luke, Romans, Matthew, etc. I wonder if they will add in the Book of Revelations that the transgendered and like pluck harps and ascend to Heaven?

Having trouble with the old KJV? Then get a dictionary and learn the language
I dislike the NIV for oh so many reasons
To: TaraP
Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words ... IF you add to the Scriptures or take away from them God will remove you ...You *do* realize the difference between adding or subtracting from the holy, infallible, and innerant Word of God and revising and/or correcting your translation thereof, right?

revising and/or correcting your translation thereof
Why is revising/correcting needed?
To: TaraP
The NIV was revised and published as the TNIV in 2002, but did poorly due to anemic publisher support and (allegedly) a bad-mouthing campaign by those with a financial interest in the ESV. I'm guessing the NIV 2011 will keep most of the TNIV readings, but this time the all-important NIV branding and a serious push by the publisher will lead to greater success.
To: TaraP
they are adding and removing from the holy text.What, exactly, are they adding or subtracting from the text (the ORIGINAL text, not the KJV or whatever other translation?)

Why is revising/correcting needed?Because they made some mistakes in translation previously. They're correcting their earlier mistakes.
From the article:
The changes did not make all men "people" or remove male references to God, but instead involved dropping gender-specific terms when translators judged that the original text didn't intend it. So in some verses, references to "sons of God" became "children of God," for example. (emphasis mine)

"Why is revising/correcting needed?" Gay clergy, same-sex marriage, and feminists I'm guessing.
Needless to say, it's unBiblical.
