Literally all of the ones on the poll use the Greek/Hebrew texts, except The Living Bible. They also have the added advantage of using things like the Dead Sea Scrolls, which weren't even discovered until the 1940's.
It takes little research to go find that out.
The hurdle for fundamentalists is understanding the difference between a holy book and a science book. In Christianity, the Bible is the absolute authority on all matters. The original texts sit atop the hierarchy of canon, and could only be challenged if an even older manuscript were discovered with different writing.
It's different in science. The Origin of the Species doesn't hold that same primacy. Darwin's works aren't the absolute authority on evolutionary theory. Science continues to evolve as we learn new things about the natural world. We now know Darwin was wrong about pangenesis, for example. Richard Dawkins is a far more credible source for current knowledge on evolution. When he dies, we will continue to advance, surpassing his work as well.
That's why these holy book comparisons fail when discussing works of science. Science isn't beholden to a single book, and evolves as new discoveries are made. Darwin is an important figure and his contributions will be remembered, but the buck doesn't stop with him. The same goes for Newton or Einstein or anyone else.
You're so Christ-like. Jesus would be proud.
Are you interested in an honest intellectual discussion or are you still playing the usual GDF #gottem game?

Gail Riplinger (whom I highly respect;she is a wise, very godly Christian woman who has written a lot of books on Bible versions and the clear superiority of the KJV over other versions) briefly lays out some of the reasons why all of the modern day versions (including the so-called "New King James" version) are dangerous and are part of Satan's New World Order agenda.
Bottom line: always stick with the King James Bible (the only true Word of God in english), folks. You can not and will not go wrong with it.

Lmao. No, they are not the same. Not by a long shot.
The Authorized King James Version is the only real Holy Bible in the english language.
It is the only book where God's Words are preserved in english, and yes, they are indeed God's Words despite the fact that God used men to put them on paper in Hebrew and Greek in which the KJV translators translated the words from.

This is just as true today as when I first posted it and still will be tomorrow and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and so on for eternity.

KJV is the only one that is God's infallible Word in English. Period.
All modern day "bibles" are corrupted and, in some cases, perverted.
You should read Gail Riplinger's book "New Age Bible Versions".
It is great reading and points out many of the flaws with the newer versions. I would never under any circumstances use any English Bible other than the King James Authorized Version.

KJV is not perfect, revised versions are made because there were errors from its predecessors, the fallibility of the translation does not negate the authenticity of the word of God, that's the reason why we are commanded to examine it
"Seek and read from the book of the Lord: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be without her mate. For the mouth of the Lord has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them."
Isaiah 34:16
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world."
I John 4:1
