That’s because the new manuscripts were found so it had to be changed. Newer translations are actually more accurate. It’s not the other translations that are adding verses, rather it’s the KJV
@@NoMan-pp1jqThis is just false witness. First anything LOST would not be scripture at all. God preserves his words. Finding something in 1800s that Lost and never used is not scripture. Second the "new discoveries" admittedly contradict each other in THOUSANDS of places in gospels alone according to even Wikipedia. Third its just a LIE these are "older". Thats a false witness. "The Latin Vulgate Gospel of John, produced by Jerome in 383, was based on the Greek manuscripts which Jerome considered ancient exemplars at that time and which contained the passage. Jerome, writing around 417, reports that the Pericope Adulterae was found in its usual place in "many Greek and Latin manuscripts" in Rome and the Latin West. This is confirmed by some Latin Fathers of the 300s and 400s, including Ambrose of Milan, and Augustine of Hippo. The latter claimed that the passage may have been improperly excluded from some manuscripts in order to avoid the impression that Christ had sanctioned adultery: Certain persons of little faith, or rather enemies of the true faith, fearing, I suppose, lest their wives should be given impunity in sinning, removed from their manuscripts the Lord's act of forgiveness toward the adulteress, as if he who had said, Sin no more, had granted permission to sin.[b] "- wiki. So they were trying to CORRUPT scripture for thousands of years and trying make same changes NOW.
All translations have been perverted and changed. The old kjv shows in Gen 1 in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth ( one heaven). All other translations say heavens ( with an S).
if you having not figured this out in the beginning, you might want to start with the NLT life application student study bible. NIV foundation study bible, CSB everyday study bible.

it's great that this cult has to have so many versions of their nonsense. It shows that their god is at best incompetent and at worst imaginary, if it can't just have one that everyone gets.
At least 3 out of 4 isn't bad. Besides the glaring comparing dragons to jekyll found in LSB, the other ones are good. I would get a Pilgrim's Geneva 1560 replica Bible if possible, instead of LSB or even the 120 book LSV Bible.
Lol. I disagreed with all of them. I was looking forward to you saying the NASB and NIV. Idk why I watch these videos anymore… But good for you bro. Read them all, if that’s what you feel comfortable with, I ain’t judging. But I rather go with a literal translation like the NASB. And as for thought for thought I would go with the NIV. KJV has been proven to add and take away. Literally what Revelation 22:18-19 says….
I like the CSB...(or HCSB) basically the same. It's very readable and almost a word for word. They call it an optimal translation with falls kinda between Dynamic and Formal. But IMO...is closer to the Formal side. I've read through it a few times and enjoyed it.
I'm not sure what verses have been completely taken out. But the NIV is the most widely printed and distributed Bible in history. Now that doesn't make it always RIGHT...but IMO it's a solid translation. Keeping in mind it's a dynamic equivalent and I don't particular like dynamic equivalents. I stick with the NKJV and ESV
We who have studied the differences call the NIV the Non-Inspired Version. It's one of the worst. That's what I had before going down the path of finding the true KJB. NIV is the main one people try to use to support abortion since it's the only one which says if a woman was to fail the test of the unfaithful wife she'd "miscarry". I also used NKJV until I saw things wrong there. My mom's main one used to be ESV before I showed her how the KJV is the true Bible.

The only other alternative is they themselves would be subject to the Word of God. That definitely doesn’t work for them! lol! Have a blessed day brother!
The ESV removed 33,000 words from Scripture. The fake king James removed 13,000 words from scripture. There is only one word for word translation available in English. The 1611 Authorized King James Bible. Perfectly preserved. Untouched by modern heretics. It reads on a 5th grade level. Easy to memorize. It’s the only book in the world with no copyright. No one makes money off it.
Just not my fav. The 2020 NASB went a little “inclusive” with their language and a lot of folks don’t really prefer that. I’m one of them. But it’s just a preference. The NIV kinda did this a handful of years ago and I just don’t think it’s all that necessary. That’s all. I’d take the LSB over the NASB these days.
The fake king James removed 13,000 words from Scripture. When it first came out real Christians wouldn’t buy it so they paid Jerry Falwell to go schlepping it around the country to promote it.
Was reading the CSB but have noticed some issues. For example a scripture that is the subject of hot debate especially among atheist who like to discredit God is Dueternonomy 22:28 it reads Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (CSB): If a man encounters a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, takes hold of her and rapes her, and they are discovered, 29 the man who raped her is to give the young woman’s father fifty silver shekels, and she will become his wife because he violated her. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives. If you read other versions like KJV, ESV, it does not mention rape but only says that if a man lies with a virgin who isn’t engaged he must marry her and that same principle is echoed in Exodus 22. That’s a pretty crucial error 😬
Without fact-checking I’ll simply take your word for it. The Old Testament definitely has parts that are “off”, because it was before Jesus arrived to correct and straighten out as many misinterpretations as possible (which he did in his short time, as much as he could to all who would listen). I don’t argue with atheists but it seems like a no-brainer to me that Man would get things wrong (or weird, lol) in measure of the times they lived in, as fallible men. It doesn’t disprove the existence of God, which is what is atheists are after, or trying to make this God seem awful, I suppose?) It could be that during the time of KJV (1500’s?) the r word culturally was regarded as grotesque/unspeakable, so they left it out while getting the main point across? Or with translations being as nuanced as they are, those translators felt it was unclear. So left it out. I don’t know what stands out to you as being as strange about the situation between the 2 translations, but to me 1 things stands out: the woman in this scenario has no free will. Not during the crime, not after. Since Jesus arrived, he spoke of free will (in various ways). This was perhaps the beginning of women being thought of as autonomous beings (if she is responsible for herself in soul & spirit, then why not the flesh?). A woman’s will was not considered during the times of Old Testament, but the arrival of Jesus would shift those ideas. All seems fair to me in acknowledging mens fallibility of Old Testament, along with Jesus’s perfection that came after.
I’m OK with the NIV. But it’s not my favorite. They’ve had a shaky history after a 1984 and when they tried to switch up all the kind of gender neutral language and I didn’t really like all that much. But in reality it is the number one selling book/translation of all time. And it remains that way because NIV translation is the most widely circulated Bible in history. And the Bible is the best selling book in history. So it’s used by a whole lot of people… I just don’t prefer dynamic equivalent texts. That’s my own preference they can be useful. If I want to read something, that’s not strictly formal Equivalent, I usually stick to the CSB. All that being said if the NIV is what your church uses and what you read. I don’t have a problem with that it’s just not my preferred translation.
@@ClaimingChristianity Some extremely serious ones. For example - Romans 14:14 - if you read the original Greek Paul said “common.” All modern translations changed it to “unclean.” Which is a verse used to say food laws are done away with, and that Lord Jesus was a liar when he said “it’s easier for heaven and earth to pass away then one small change in the law.” Another serious change is found in Matthew 5:28. All modern translations changed the Greek word from “wife” to “woman.” God’s law defines adultery as a married woman breaking wedlock. It’s impossible for adultery to be committed if the woman isn’t engaged or married to another man. The new Matthew bible (predates the KJV) - doesn’t have those two MAJOR errors that 99% of modern translations have. A man can not commit adultery if he desires or lusts for a woman that doesn’t have a husband nor is engaged. Actually - he’s commanded by God to marry her if he takes her virginity (no restriction if he’s already married). But if that same man sleeps with a married woman or engaged woman (that isn’t his) - he’s to be put to death for committing adultery. I can provide those laws from exodus if you want. Lord Jesus is saying in Matthew 5:28 - don’t covet/desire anything belonging to your neighbor. If you read exodus - 10th commandment - a man’s wife is part of his possessions - therefore - forbidden from another man desiring to take/steal (even in the heart).
That’s because a man just wrote it. According to its author no one has ever held the word of God before a few years ago! The ESV removed 33,000 words from the Bible. Do you know what your reward is for removing 1 word from the Bible is?
In a nutshell…the “language”. KJV is OLD English so can be a little difficult to read. Especially at length. The NKJV is “same text”…just in “modern” English.
@@ClaimingChristianityYour statement is factually incorrect. The fake king James was written by a rich guy whose son hated the Bible. He also made millions of dollars from it. The cash is still rolling in! He removed 13,000 words from Scripture. Removed the words hell and blood thousand of times in hopes it would appeal to his lost son. It also replaced thousands of one syllable words with big college professors words taking it from a 5th grade reading level to 12th. He also threw out the Hebrew Masoretic Text and replaced it with the German Kittle Old Testament. Thousands of changes there too. What does God promise to do to anyone who removes ONE word from Scripture?
I've reviewed quite a few of them and I've read it. But I'm not a huge fan. It has its place for sure...as every job has a tool...but I prefer (and recommend) more Formal Equivalents for the most part. I like the CSB for something that's a little "easier to read".
William Tyndale is a saint. I love his story. Dying for the word of God! It’s a shame children of the Devil now use his good name to produce corrupt modern versions. Removing thousands of words from Scripture! I have the Tyndale New Testament. It’s super hard to read. The 1611 Authorized King James Bible used a lot of Tyndales work. That’s what I read. The only word for word translation available in English. The 1611 Authorized King James Bible. Perfectly preserved. Untouched by modern heretics. The only Bible with no copyright. No one makes money off it. That sure sounds like something God would protect!

As a serious Bible student I have researched many Translations and do not agree with any of your 4 suggestions. On top of that I recommend you stay away from paraphrases. The old King James has many translational errors and is difficult for the modern student to read. For the most precise Greek and Hebrew to English translation I recommend the NASV or New American Standard Version. The easiest to read that corrects errors in KJV I recommend NIV New International Version. Of the 4 you recommended the NKJ or New King James would be preferable.
@@ClaimingChristianity thank you. I am always open to discussion. I don t know Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic so I don't translate myself, and never have read oldest written Word we have, so have to rely on other scholars and their views and the discernment given to me by God, the Holy Spirit. When I study the Word I usually use at least 3 different translatio s
@@ClaimingChristianity ok, watched your long version. Good points. I was not aware of what the NASV was doing going gender neutral! I am shocked they would take that route!

I get your point with the NIV, but if your struggling with a passage in other translation it might clear up a difficult concept. Note, I say might.
The LSB = MASB (MacArthur American Standard Bible). It doesn’t bring anything new to the table and it undermines confidence in the many excellent English translations that already exist. The LSB isn’t more “accurate” than the ESV, NKJV, NASB, etc. There are a finite number of ways to translate something literally.

@@NoMan-pp1jqThis is just false witness. First anything LOST would not be scripture at all. God preserves his words. Finding something in 1800s that Lost and never used is not scripture.
Second the "new discoveries" admittedly contradict each other in THOUSANDS of places in gospels alone according to even Wikipedia.
Third its just a LIE these are "older". Thats a false witness. "The Latin Vulgate Gospel of John, produced by Jerome in 383, was based on the Greek manuscripts which Jerome considered ancient exemplars at that time and which contained the passage. Jerome, writing around 417, reports that the Pericope Adulterae was found in its usual place in "many Greek and Latin manuscripts" in Rome and the Latin West. This is confirmed by some Latin Fathers of the 300s and 400s, including Ambrose of Milan, and Augustine of Hippo. The latter claimed that the passage may have been improperly excluded from some manuscripts in order to avoid the impression that Christ had sanctioned adultery:
Certain persons of little faith, or rather enemies of the true faith, fearing, I suppose, lest their wives should be given impunity in sinning, removed from their manuscripts the Lord's act of forgiveness toward the adulteress, as if he who had said, Sin no more, had granted permission to sin.[b]
"- wiki. So they were trying to CORRUPT scripture for thousands of years and trying make same changes NOW.
I disagree….but it’s ok to disagree.
@@ClaimingChristianity Read Numbers 5. Then tell me why.
All translations have been perverted and changed. The old kjv shows in Gen 1 in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth ( one heaven). All other translations say heavens ( with an S).
if you having not figured this out in the beginning, you might want to start with the NLT life application student study bible. NIV foundation study bible, CSB everyday study bible.
I agree...the CSB is a good translation to start out with...and I might update this video
My favorite version will always be NKJV. It’s easy enough for me to understand and doesn’t feel modernized.
Great Choice!
Just learn Koine Greek and read the Bible untranslated.
Yeah...that would be the goal. That would also take hours and hours and years and years
@@ClaimingChristianityjust started and truthfully it hasn't been terrible to start learning. Obviously our alphabet shares many similarities to the Greek alphabet and so does our sentence structure. I'd encourage you to give it a go!
it's great that this cult has to have so many versions of their nonsense. It shows that their god is at best incompetent and at worst imaginary, if it can't just have one that everyone gets.
These ones? That is not proper English. It is either “this one” or “these”.
At least 3 out of 4 isn't bad. Besides the glaring comparing dragons to jekyll found in LSB, the other ones are good. I would get a Pilgrim's Geneva 1560 replica Bible if possible, instead of LSB or even the 120 book LSV Bible.
I've been using the KJV Study Bible "find the truth" and just now grabbed the ESV. I read them beside each other to compare. Thank you! ❤
Lol. I disagreed with all of them. I was looking forward to you saying the NASB and NIV. Idk why I watch these videos anymore… But good for you bro. Read them all, if that’s what you feel comfortable with, I ain’t judging. But I rather go with a literal translation like the NASB. And as for thought for thought I would go with the NIV. KJV has been proven to add and take away. Literally what Revelation 22:18-19 says….
I read ESV which is a really good balance and the best read in my opinion
is HCSB any good??
I like the CSB...(or HCSB) basically the same. It's very readable and almost a word for word. They call it an optimal translation with falls kinda between Dynamic and Formal. But IMO...is closer to the Formal side. I've read through it a few times and enjoyed it.
yes.
KJB is the only one
it has added verses💀💀💀
@@damiensepulveda4716 please explain what verses were added lol
I’m curious where you’re going with this too.
they weren't added. He's probably talking about ones they've removed so from their perspective they think kjv added.
I heard stay away from the NIV because some versus been taken out.
I'm not sure what verses have been completely taken out. But the NIV is the most widely printed and distributed Bible in history. Now that doesn't make it always RIGHT...but IMO it's a solid translation. Keeping in mind it's a dynamic equivalent and I don't particular like dynamic equivalents. I stick with the NKJV and ESV
We who have studied the differences call the NIV the Non-Inspired Version. It's one of the worst. That's what I had before going down the path of finding the true KJB. NIV is the main one people try to use to support abortion since it's the only one which says if a woman was to fail the test of the unfaithful wife she'd "miscarry". I also used NKJV until I saw things wrong there. My mom's main one used to be ESV before I showed her how the KJV is the true Bible.

You guys are so misguided..
What's wrong with the 2020 NASB? I like the NKJV. Love Humble Lamb bibles and they came out with the 2020 NASB is why I'm asking.
Just not my fav. The 2020 NASB went a little “inclusive” with their language and a lot of folks don’t really prefer that. I’m one of them. But it’s just a preference. The NIV kinda did this a handful of years ago and I just don’t think it’s all that necessary. That’s all. I’d take the LSB over the NASB these days.
Currently using HCSB/NLT/NIV, or sometimes AMP. But I prefer KJV and NKJV more than these.
KJV, NKJV, KJV, NKJV

When it first came out real Christians wouldn’t buy it so they paid Jerry Falwell to go schlepping it around the country to promote it.
KJV is missing 7 books
Yeah right 🤣🤣🤣
I personally do not read the KJV, I mainly read from NIV. However, I am curious to know, which seven books are missing?
@@purplebutterfly412he’s talking about the apocrypha books. The catholic books which are not part of the canon.
It’s actually not missing from the 1611. It’s still in print. You can order it.
Was reading the CSB but have noticed some issues. For example a scripture that is the subject of hot debate especially among atheist who like to discredit God is Dueternonomy 22:28 it reads
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (CSB): If a man encounters a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, takes hold of her and rapes her, and they are discovered, 29 the man who raped her is to give the young woman’s father fifty silver shekels, and she will become his wife because he violated her. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives.
If you read other versions like KJV, ESV, it does not mention rape but only says that if a man lies with a virgin who isn’t engaged he must marry her and that same principle is echoed in Exodus 22.
That’s a pretty crucial error 😬
Without fact-checking I’ll simply take your word for it. The Old Testament definitely has parts that are “off”, because it was before Jesus arrived to correct and straighten out as many misinterpretations as possible (which he did in his short time, as much as he could to all who would listen). I don’t argue with atheists but it seems like a no-brainer to me that Man would get things wrong (or weird, lol) in measure of the times they lived in, as fallible men. It doesn’t disprove the existence of God, which is what is atheists are after, or trying to make this God seem awful, I suppose?)
It could be that during the time of KJV (1500’s?) the r word culturally was regarded as grotesque/unspeakable, so they left it out while getting the main point across? Or with translations being as nuanced as they are, those translators felt it was unclear. So left it out.
I don’t know what stands out to you as being as strange about the situation between the 2 translations, but to me 1 things stands out: the woman in this scenario has no free will. Not during the crime, not after.
Since Jesus arrived, he spoke of free will (in various ways). This was perhaps the beginning of women being thought of as autonomous beings (if she is responsible for herself in soul & spirit, then why not the flesh?). A woman’s will was not considered during the times of Old Testament, but the arrival of Jesus would shift those ideas. All seems fair to me in acknowledging mens fallibility of Old Testament, along with Jesus’s perfection that came after.
Read The Fountainhead.
The one of those you'll read AND understand.
what about NIV?
I’m OK with the NIV. But it’s not my favorite. They’ve had a shaky history after a 1984 and when they tried to switch up all the kind of gender neutral language and I didn’t really like all that much. But in reality it is the number one selling book/translation of all time. And it remains that way because NIV translation is the most widely circulated Bible in history. And the Bible is the best selling book in history. So it’s used by a whole lot of people… I just don’t prefer dynamic equivalent texts. That’s my own preference they can be useful. If I want to read something, that’s not strictly formal Equivalent, I usually stick to the CSB. All that being said if the NIV is what your church uses and what you read. I don’t have a problem with that it’s just not my preferred translation.
The NIV removed 64,000 words from the Bible.
MEV

New Matthew bible doesn’t have many of the errors the modern translations all have.
What would those 'errors' be?
@@ClaimingChristianity Some extremely serious ones. For example - Romans 14:14 - if you read the original Greek Paul said “common.” All modern translations changed it to “unclean.” Which is a verse used to say food laws are done away with, and that Lord Jesus was a liar when he said “it’s easier for heaven and earth to pass away then one small change in the law.”
Another serious change is found in Matthew 5:28. All modern translations changed the Greek word from “wife” to “woman.” God’s law defines adultery as a married woman breaking wedlock. It’s impossible for adultery to be committed if the woman isn’t engaged or married to another man.
The new Matthew bible (predates the KJV) - doesn’t have those two MAJOR errors that 99% of modern translations have.
A man can not commit adultery if he desires or lusts for a woman that doesn’t have a husband nor is engaged. Actually - he’s commanded by God to marry her if he takes her virginity (no restriction if he’s already married). But if that same man sleeps with a married woman or engaged woman (that isn’t his) - he’s to be put to death for committing adultery. I can provide those laws from exodus if you want.
Lord Jesus is saying in Matthew 5:28 - don’t covet/desire anything belonging to your neighbor. If you read exodus - 10th commandment - a man’s wife is part of his possessions - therefore - forbidden from another man desiring to take/steal (even in the heart).
That’s a great list, brother!

@@ClaimingChristianityYour statement is factually incorrect.
The fake king James was written by a rich guy whose son hated the Bible.
He also made millions of dollars from it. The cash is still rolling in!
He removed 13,000 words from Scripture. Removed the words hell and blood thousand of times in hopes it would appeal to his lost son.
It also replaced thousands of one syllable words with big college professors words taking it from a 5th grade reading level to 12th.
He also threw out the Hebrew Masoretic Text and replaced it with the German Kittle Old Testament. Thousands of changes there too.
What does God promise to do to anyone who removes ONE word from Scripture?
what about the Tyndale New Living Translation bible ?
I've reviewed quite a few of them and I've read it. But I'm not a huge fan. It has its place for sure...as every job has a tool...but I prefer (and recommend) more Formal Equivalents for the most part. I like the CSB for something that's a little "easier to read".

As a serious Bible student I have researched many Translations and do not agree with any of your 4 suggestions. On top of that I recommend you stay away from paraphrases. The old King James has many translational errors and is difficult for the modern student to read.
