Bibles that
do not use words like "EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT"
The first page of my Oxford University Press
addition of the King James Bible says this:
"Containing the Old and New Testaments
Translated out of the Original Tongues and with the former Translations diligently
compared and revised by His Majesty's special command"
Notice that it "contains" the Old and New
Testaments from the original tongues, but IT was not translated FROM the original tongues,
but is rather, a revision of "former Translations!"
Sadly to say, although we owe MUCH to the King James or Authorized Version of the
Scriptures, it is NOT a translation of the the original Hebrew and Greek languages of the
Scriptures. To its credit, many (thousands) of inconsistencies have been corrected over
the years. However, NOT ALL. There still remains some colossal errors that
translators and scholars either are overlooking or are purposefully ignoring.
The following Bible Translations are helpful in seeing the honest rendering of such King
James words as, everlasting, evermore, forever and ever, eternal, hell, etc. They either
render these words properly or show in the margins what the literal Hebrew or Greek is,
rather than attempting to prop up the fancied pagan doctrine of eternal torment in an
every burning hell of literal fire.
I am not recommending that you buy any of these
Bible Versions. You can understand the Truths of God by merely coming to understand the
proper translation of two or three words in your King James Bibles.
But, if you decide to actually buy one of these Versions, I would
suggest Rotherham's over the others. Besides it may be the only one that you can find
in a book store.
