TYPES OF TRANSLATIONS
At the risk of oversimplification, there are three main categories of Bible translations.
1. Essentially literal: These translations retain much of the form and structure of the original language and provide a word-for-word translation to the greatest degree possible. Translations in this category include King James Version (KJV), New King James Version (NKJV), New American Standard Bible (NASB), English Standard Version (ESV), and the Revised Standard Version (RSV).
2. Dynamic equivalence: These translations employ a “thought-for-thought” approach that conveys the essential meaning of the original authors. Concepts and metaphors less widely known to modern-day readers are frequently rephrased. Translations in this category include New International Version (NIV), Today’s New International Version (TNIV), New International Reader’s Version (NIrV), New Living Translation (NLT), New Century Version (NCV), and the Contemporary English Version (CEV).
3. Free paraphrase: Paraphrases take great liberty with the biblical text and seek to convey the meaning of the author using contemporary phrases and metaphors. The best-known paraphrases are The Clear Word (Clear Word), The Living Bible (TLB), and The Message (Message).
Adding 300 words to Daniel 9 in a “FREE PARAPHRASE” bible, using “contemporary phrases and metaphors”? So what? That’s not adding to or taking away from the bible in any way, shape, or form.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Almost sounds like a combination translation/commentary. Then again, I wouldn’t know, BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE, as is the case of probably 99.99% of SDA’s in the world.
Robert “commandment” Breaker/hater groupies are desperate. Next thing you know they’ll be posting short quips and funny memes.
——>Not one iota or dot will pass from Scripture until heaven and earth pass away, and this unaltered word of God will be our judge. We dare not add, subtract, or amend it. Our eternal reward depends upon it! † (From “Is this word clear? by Stephen Pitcher, Proclamation!, January/February 2009.)
Unfortunately for those Protestant commandment breakers/haters, they have willfully removed a commandment of God from the Decalogue. There is no greater form of lawlessness. Those who BREAK God’s law and TEACH others to do it, will not enter heaven.
Matthew 5:
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
