Comment on KJV Translation or Transliteration
Posted on July 27, 2008

Actually TimmyJohnBoy, your statement "Also, at least the KJ translators were clear enough to put added or "changed" words in italics so we would know which they were." is incorrect, as I have a copy of the 1611 and the italics you mention were not added until much later. If one had to read a "direct" translation from Hebrew or Greek, they would not be able to understand the Bible. The translators from the beginning have taken license with their work. If we approach Scripture prayerfully, remembering that man put it in the different languages we can begin to understand and grow. But if we accept the "translations, and transliterations" as fact then we begin to fall into deception. Such is the case of the NIV and others. Thank you for your comment.
