Bible Translations
 | |  | |  |
Bible translations can be a big issue for
some folks. For most of those people, the
King James Version is the only REAL Bible.
If that's what they choose to believe, by all
means, they should be allowed to believe it.
We, however, realize that the King James
Version is itself, a translation. Contrary to
what some may believe, the Bible was not
written in English! Not even King James
English! :0)
Our take on this thing is that if the New
International Version is easier for you to
read, then that's the one you should be
reading. If you prefer the King James or the
Amplified Bible, then THAT'S the one you
should be reading. You should be reading
the one that helps you understand what
God is trying to tell YOU. I should be reading
the one that helps ME understand what
He's trying to tell ME.

everlasting life." John 3:16

one and only Son, that whoever believes in

"for God did so love the world, that His Son
-- the only begotten -- He gave, that every
one who is believing in him may not perish,
but may have life age-during."

his only-begotten Son, that whosoever

There is something very interesting that comes to light when you see the different
translations laid out side by side. If you read each one carefully and slowly, you
may begin to see it, if you haven't already noticed it. Take your time and compare
them...study them, even. It's really quite astonishing!
Have you found it yet? Would you like to look again? If you've already found it,
congratulations! If you haven't found it and would like to take the easy way out,
