Maybe YOU can give me your opinion on this, since Quix would not. Are my Tyndale and Geneva editions of the Bible true enough to the original scripures to be acceptable for purposes of study and interpretation?

They precede the King James version and were reported to have been directly translated from the orginal languages used by the writers (or at any rate, from such original documents as were available).

Many years ago I was in the service overseas,
part of my job was to monitor shortwave radio.
We would listen to Radio Moscow and Voice of America.
We would add them up and divide by two.

How I read the Bible is with my computer
and a program called BibleWorks

I personally prefer the NASB for ease
of understanding and literalness.

However on difficult passages I have open up
to 13 versions:
NASB, BHT, WTT, DRA, JPS, KJV, LXE, NAS, NIV,
NJB,TNK, YLT, BGM, BGT & LXT
with interactive concordance with mouse hover.

I always read 10 to 20 verses before and
after the verse in question for context

I may not have answered your question directly,
but I hope I have given you a better answer.
I also use a less expensive program called
the Master Christian Library.
A former pastor told me he paid over
$10,000 for all of the books it contains.

YHvH's blessings on you in you search
for His Son , YHvH's salvation.
