I regularly read from New Living Translation, but for study I prefer the Septuagint and a KJV.

The Septuagint is easily 800 years older than the Masoretic text. I think the KJV is great for the NT for for the OT there are some pretty stark differences.

My brother had a theology tutor over in Scotland, he'd (the tutor) pick up his Greek translation to just casually read. Wish I could do that.

Don't read the Bible, it'll turn you into one of them Atheists! Just listen to the part your preacher chooses to tell you about...

That has not been my experience. But also, I don't go to church.

>I don't go to church

I know at least a dozen people in my life who are Christian, very religious and have stopped going to the church since it became woke (This is in Europe).

I don't what the church is thinking, they drove off the normal people by supporting faggots, but I don't see any faggots starting to go to church.

Once you start to compromise on your principles, you are done for. That has happened to most of the Christian denominations.

I don't see any faggots starting to go to church.

I think certain denominations like Unitarians and Episcopalians are attracting those crowds.

My view, and that of the OT is that homosexuality and eating bacon are on the same level. I avoid both.

King James version, baby, and not just any KJV. I read the King James 1611.

I have facsimiles of the 1611 and the Geneva.

Got a copy of the Geneva Bible.

The KJV was translated (at least half) by born again spiritual giants (Puritans), the others not at all.

This is the most important factor.

In a word, that is why I prefer the Septuagint to the KJV for the OT. The Masoretes were talmudists, not Torah observant. They changed the lifespans of Noahs offspring to make Shem be Melchizedek. It is a common teaching that contradicts the book of Hebrews.

Yikes, not good.

My family were all Scofield lovers and some went to Dallas Theological Seminary, yuk.

Good to know. I'm about to start another push through the Torah. I'll try the Septuagint version this time.

KJV, ESV, Interlinear, and I hunt down stuff like the Shem-Tob version of Matthew and read that too.

The Interlinear is critical to getting a good understanding of things and rooting out translation errors.

I've got the new covenant sealed on my heart, but some people really still care about the words in old manipulated books...

[–] • 2 pts

Most Christians regard the words in the Bible as the words of God, not the words of men. Of course they were transmitted through men -- how else could they get into the book? But that does not necessarily mean that God was not the author.

If the Spirit indwells you yes the new covenant is in your heart but we still need the Word of God for instruction and edification, "sanctify them by the truth, thy word is truth" etc.
