The Newbible Gang will never accept the absolute truth of these arguments. They are apparently victims of 'strong delusion.'
The problem is incrementalism. The current versions will soon be further diluted in a continuing process that started with the RSV.

Personally,
I LOVE
"THE MESSAGE"
version. It really brings many passages alive to me in a way that's exceedingly congruent with God the Father, The Son and The Spirit whom I know.

The problem is incrementalism. No, the problem is that you can't accept modern scholarship but instead cling to a 17th century translation.
Please remove me from your ping list.

Take me off your ping list. I have no interest in this attempt to bind my conscience with circular reasoning and slight of hand.

The wrecking crew has two factions: fools and knaves. Neither will prevail - the Lord God knows what's in our hearts. He can and does lead His children to the version/s He wants them in. FReegards

Then it would be reasonable to say that we should return to an early English version which pre-dates the King James Version.
I agree that many "versions" are diluted and read more along the lines of a commentary rather than a Bible, however, there are some newer translations which are more accurate in their transliterations than the King James Version.

In response to your ping - Its that kind of narrow mindedness that turns new believers off - Before I surrendered to Christ I would have spent at least 4 minutes trying to decipher and understand the KJV1611 before I put it down and had another beer.
The NIV....and the "good news" - at least introduced me to Christ
....and just who constitues the "newbie gang" - is there a secret handshake among the old gang
