Just found your blog while surfing “legalism.” If you look at my blog, you may come to understand the reason for my search.

Anyway, I pastor a Baptist church in TN. I used to be the KJV-only type, but run far away from that, now. Over the years I have come to not trust any one version over another, at least not in totality. I couldn’t stick with just one unless I HAD to,

For the most part, I carry my HCSB to the pulpit. But this is the thing, I usually pen in KJV words beside or above the text, along with notes relating to the original text. It really all comes down to what I am preaching and my congregation’s receptivity. Some are still uncomfortable with new versions. I keep telling them the only inspired Bible is the original, not the King James (the Bible Paul used).

Actually, I think I copied that part right off their website, but you’re right. Now that I’ve had my Green Bible for a while, I will need to be updating this page with the NRSV.

Great page, Peter! The only quibble I have is that you should have a note along the lines that the ESV is a conservative theological update of the RSV, rather than giving the impression that it is a new translation by “over 100 Bible scholars”. The majority of the text is hardly new, having been around since the 1950s.

Okay, again, you are making a leap I cannot make. You certainly don’t have to believe anything, this blog is simply an exploration of why I believe what I believe.

I am very happy with your reply, you do admit that none of them are original bibles so I will then assume that then it is not 100% from God and I don’t have to believe in it.

None of the translations I’ve listed above are “original.” They are all English translations. You can read about each to determine their source texts, if that is what you are seeking.

Hello,

You have provided a good list of translation of Bibles but which of them is original? Do you believe Bible to me 100% word of God? I am just a learner and if you can help answer my questions that will be cool.
