    I have no problem with saying that the translators had such liberty. It is when critics claim those liberties are MISTAKES and ERRORS when THEY prefer a different rendering

    But in this particular passage (John 14:2), the KJV was I believe preferentially correct, and even most of the other popular corrupt translations follow the KJV on this verse.

    The KJV's lead?

    2 In my Father’s house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I would have told you: I go to prepare a place for you. [Geneva Bible]

    In my fathers house, are many dwellyng places: If it were not so, I woulde haue tolde you. I go to prepare a place for you. [Bishop's Bible]

    Since the argument was limited to comparing the KJV to the other translations, yes, the KJVs lead. We've all agreed that these renderings were in older mss that predate the KJV, Geneva and the Bishops Bible, but for sake of the argument, since it is the KJV that is being compared to the other possible renderings, then I argued that they followed the KJV.

    The article you linked to was full of false,stupid stuff. For once the NIV and ESV were both seen by the author as equally evil. They(the ESV and NIV) supposedly hold to the same false doctrine as per the unknown writer. But doctrinally the ESV and NIV both hold to the very same doctrines as the KJV. It was a big waste of my time to wade through all the manure you spread around.

    Indeed. From the article:

    Salvation is found only in Christ (2 Tim 2:10). God teaches that one gets into Christ at the point of water baptism (SEE Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3-4; 1 Pet. 3:21).

    THAT source should be the one to have you accuse of slander and lying about your NIV!

    Well,you still stand guilty of continual lying and slander against the translators of the NIV.

    That said,the unknown auther of that crass piece of junk lied not only about the NIV but the ESV as well.

    That has to be the most moronic KJVO article I've ever read.
