Correcting the KJV

<< < (2/2)

Apologies. That last part was auto corrected.  I meant KJV

Dave in Tenn:
Robby, there are several current revisions of the King James translation.  Take your pick.  On esword, for 'literal' versions I currently have the LITV and Young's Literal Translation (YLT).  I used to have others, but I had to re-install esword with my new computer, and so far I have neither located or downloaded some of the other ones Kat mentioned.

"Literal" is something of a mis-statement if taken 'literally'.    ;D  All it means, I think, is that it is not a translation of 'phrases' or concepts, but of words.  But any 'direct' word-for-word translation wouldn't be understandable in English.

The Concordant Literal Version goes a step further in (at least claiming to be) translating the same Hebrew or Greek words into the same English words.  However, they don't always do that, I've learned.

Joel:
Hi Robby, Check out the Thomas Nelson, center column reference, KJV.
I recommend it, and I believe Ray also said he had one and liked it too.
I have had mine since the 80's and use it regularly.

Dave in Tenn:
And don't forget ever to "use" the Twelve Truths to understanding His Word.

Brothers Joel and Dave:

It is important you both know how much I cherish your imput. My wife and I are studying the scriptures together for the first time in our marriage ( we celebrate 17 years this month). Your encouragement and that of sister Kat always boosts our eagerness to keep pressing into the Truth. Thank you and God be with you.

Robby
