    @Salty posted this poll in the Baptist Only section of the Board. And it was requested that a version be open down in this forum for non-Baptists to post their opinion.

    You have the GREEK which was translated into KJV, ask the Greeks what it means.

    When I was 18 the Freewill Baptist church presented me with a Open KJV Bible for teaching a year of Sunday school and that is all I ever read.

    If we had just the Kjv, or the Nas, or the Esv, still would have the word of the Lord and be able to get all doctrines and practices still!

    Maybe. Maybe not. But can, Isaiah 55:11. God's word is inerrant and unchangable. Not the interpreter. Not any translations. Not any variant from God's word.

    3-7 (May I call you 3-7)?
    Here is Is 55:11 in two versions:


    Is 55:11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (NIV)

    So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where I sent it. (KJV)

    NOTE: The italicized is so in the KJV
    the bold "s" is not capitalized in the NIV

    Underlined indicates word is different from KJV

    Color red - indicates in KJV - not in NIV

    So - we see quite a variant --
    1) is there a actually a difference in meaning
    or
    2) just translated a bit different - with the same meaning in essence?

    Thus: is one wrong and the other is the only correct one?

    Yea, Hebrew version... translated in original Hebrew and Greek. Can you speak them and who’s your Rabbi? I studied under one for two years. Doesn’t mean I’m proficient.

    Neither are they in the Hebrew (19 words), but in English. Are both true to what God actually said? The question is a question of translation and not all the added words in the KJV English are italicized.

    Is there really a difference between the Kjv and say Nas when one says the Lord Jesus, other Christ Jesus for example?
    Are they all really stating same things, at times in a slightly different fashion?
