Hello Folks,
I have learned that once you discover four basic principles in each of these translations, you can use any of them to learn.
1). God has not endowed mankind with a "free will".
2). God will not burn anyone in a literal fire for all eternity.
3). God is sovereign, in that He is the creator of Evil and Good.
4). All bibles are translations, and have mistakes, errors, and need to be studied and not just casually read.
Anytime a translation crosses over these four principles, then it is worth the study to see what is being said.
I mostly read the King James version, [ because it is the most popular] and find it a masterful piece, very well written, in a very poetic manner, Once you can see passed the mistranslated words of "Hell", "Eternal", Destruction, Damnation and a few other mistranslations, the book really does come alive.
www.blueletterbible.comIs fairly good, but the commentaries are opinions from Christian ministers, pastors, and clergy, and offer little help as to truth.
