BUT Jesus Christ answered him; It is written, man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! c) Bible Versions - There are many different personal opinions about which Bible Versions is the correct Word of God. There are the KJV only people who think all other Bible versions are not Gods words and are evil. They are so wrong But they dont understand that it is all about the language that was spoken and written in the times the Bible Versions were translated. One example is the KJV language of old times and our language of modern times. We dont say thee, thou, thy etc in our normal communications of todays times. So modern translations such as the KJV and NIV etc were created for the language that we speak of today. Now the following information regarding the different Bible Versions are from one of my favorite Pastors (Mark Keilar) websites CrossTV to give you some more understanding regarding the different Bible versions. 1) Best Word for Word translations: King James or New King James 2) Best Thought for Thought (ie. Paraphrase) translations: New International Version, New American Standard and English Standard Version 3) (Bibles that are NOT acceptable: Today’s New International Version, New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witness Version), New American Bible, New Revised Standard Version) No one has the original writings of the actual Bible Authors. They have copies of copies of copies of the original Authors writings. Bible translations are just that, translations from one form of language to another language. The most important thing is as long as the scripture meanings stay the same then the Bible Translation are fine. Me I prefer the NIV but I mainly use the NKJV.
