So which fantasy series is better, is your question?

gold slorg
nah, they're all the same fantasy, just different translation and, thus, the artistic style thumb up

Surtur
It's like asking which arthurian legend author is better

gold slorg
what would be wrong with that smile

Surtur
Is there a bible translation that doesn't make Yahweh out to be some sort of eldritch abomination?

One without him f*cking with Job and ordering all firstborns killed and flooding the world...?

eThneoLgrRnae
The King James Bible is the only real HOLY Bible. The others are corruptions of God's Word.


The KJB is also the greatest selling book of all-time.Charlie Darwin's fantasy novel "On the Origin of Species" certainly doesn't hold a candle to it lol.

I know thru faith. How do you know that what history books tell us today are actually accurate? You don't. You have faith that they are.

Okay fair enough but u gotta realize that by this logic I could spin any history and say "cuz faith" right?

eThneoLgrRnae
Yep, I get that. So what? People choose to put faith in whatever they choose as being true.I believe what history books tell us for the most part; just think that scriptural texts are just as accurate if not moreso.

Okay but don't you think that...for example, the first born thing. Don't you think that would of been recorded in history if all the first borns were killed by angels?

It would be people of all ages being slain via supernatural means. Cuz yeah some of the stuff in scripture can be matched with historical documents, etc. Some of the people mentioned were real people.

Surtur
Also, how can you be sure these supernatural beings are even what they claim? Satan has fooled people before, right?

Are you referring to the male children of Jewish slaves being killed in Egypt by the pharaoh? If so, yes, that is a documented event listed in the Bible. It wasn't just the firstborns though.... it was all male children (under a certain age , iirc).

Not getting the point u r trying to make.

It has been a while since I read the bible, but I think in response to what you just described God had angels kill all the first borns of Egyptians.

So is there any historical basis for that?

Again, not sure what u r saying here. The Bible is what says that angels are actually angels. The Bible is the Word of God. Looks like you're problem is with the authority of the Bible itself. That is something we will never agree on though so it's kind of pointless to argue over it.

What I'm saying is don't you think the first born of all Egyptians being slain in one night would have been documented in texts other than the bible?

Maybe the Egyptians didn't want to acknowledge that the Hebrew God was actually greater than their "gods" so they refused to put it in their history, perhaps? It would be admitting that their "gods" weren't powerful enough to protect them. The Egyptians were a very proud people, after all.

eThneoLgrRnae
We all know that things are sometimes omitted from history or changed from what really happened.

i've always been full atheist, however religion gets my attention in philosophical sense and historical sense, and i've always been interested what differences can people note between the translations and what influence can they possibly have, since it's not a topic you see often when debating Christianity and its roots and influences

There are tons of differences between the different versions and only the Authorized King James version went thru such a lengthy and laborious process of translation from the original texts to make sure it matched them precisely. Don't remember the exact number but King James commissioned several dozen of the best translators in the world at that time to translate the original texts into english.

There are many videos on You Tube that talk about the differences in the different versions if you're interested. The You Tube video called "New World Order Bible Versions" is really good and goes into great detail about not just the differences the modern version have compared to the King James but the bloody history of how the 1611 King James Bible finally came into being. It's quite fascinating. I highly recommend it when for atheists such as yourself. You don't have to be s a Christian to enjoy learning about the differences and histories of the different versions.

It's pretty easy to outsell a science book though, as the general populace doesn't read them in their free time. Not that it matters either way...

But, considering evolution is taught basically everywhere on Earth outside of a few fundamentalist theocracies, I'd say Darwin's work is actually consumed by far more people than the Bible, Quran, Rigveda or any other religious text.

There are tons of countries and cultures where Christianity has little presence, if any. That's not really true for Darwin. Even in most predominantly Christian/Buddhist/ Hindu/Shinto/etc cultures, they are still learning Darwin.

Evolutionary theory is everywhere.

Couldn't edit in time, but much of the Muslim world has also moved to teaching evolution in the last decade or so. The fact that several hyper-religious countries ended their bans on teaching evolution says a lot.

I'm not saying popularity makes something correct, and people are welcome to their beliefs; however, the power of science is undeniable.

No, it's not incorrect.

Darwin's book was not a science book, moron, no matter how much you've convinced yourself it is. It is a racist, fairytale book. So sorry that I've hurt your fee fees by talking bad about your pathetic, loser idol Charley Darwin's "masterpiece"lol.


Evolution "theory" is a friggin' joke; only brainwashed people call is "science" and it's clearly obvious you're butthurt mad that the King Jamea Bible far exceeds Darwin's book in all-time sales. People don't learn evolution "theory" they are brainwashed/indoctrinated into believing in it

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.

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.

Unless you want one translated from the actual Dead Sea Scrolls, which the KJV isn't.

And some folks argue that the KJV has errors anyway.

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.

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

eThneoLgrRnae
All of the modern day versions are based on corrupt texts. The KJV is the only english Bible that is not.

Again, read some of Gail Riplinger's work. I don't really care to get into a long debate over bible versions. I am King James only and will always be so. There are lots of problems with the newer versions.

God promised to preserve His Words. All of the bibles can't be His Word when they all say different things. I'm not just talking about minor, insignificant changes. I'm talking about major changes that affect doctrine and things like the deity of Christ.


All of the modern versions have also been heavily influenced by roman catholicism and that includes the so-called "New King James" Version.

eThneoLgrRnae
The King James is the only pure text in english. King James had dozens of the best and smartest translators in the world and it still took them like seven years (iirc) to complete the Bible.


And they were actually translating the proper text, unlike the translators of the new versions.

i don't want to debate either

i'm just pointing out your wrong conclusion

no Bible version is perfect, and i'm NOT saying all Bibles are the word of God, you're generalizing that KJV is perfect and all other versions and translations are corrupt

but the word of God is written in the Bible, but what version? it's for the people of God to examine, seek and search (Isaiah 34:16)

saying only one is perfect and the others are not is just plain lazy, in my opinion

eThneoLgrRnae
On page 3 of this thread I posted a link to a Gail Riplinger speech.


If you don't want to devote too much time to reading her books you can just watch that instead, though she doesn't go into near as much detail as she does in her books, obviously.


These newer versions are meant to prepare people to accept the antichrist's coming New World Order. Don't be deceived by the poison that is mixed in with the truth in them. Many verses have actually been removed from the newer versions... that is WHOLE verses, not just words. Though a lot of words are missing from other verses as well.

Hopefully you're not one of these deceived christians who thinks that the rapture takes place before the Great Tribulation. If so, you're gonna be in for a shock when you find out we will have to go thru it (at least those who're still alive will).

The Bible does not teach a pre-trib rapture. God's wrath and the tribulation are two entirely different things. Tribulation is not God's wrath. Tribulation is what the world does to us for standing firm with Jesus Christ and the Word of God. It will not be supernatural events (that will be God's wrath) and millions upon millions of true Bible-believing Christians willl be martyred for the cause of Christ during this horrible time.

"Adherents of the King James Only movement, largely members of evangelical, conservative holiness movement, traditional High Church Anglican, and Baptist churches, believe that the KJV is the greatest English translation ever produced, needing no further improvements, and they also believe that all other English translations which were produced after the KJV are corrupt." -snip
