    I suggest that you take a look at Acts 2.47 in the KJV and then in the Greek and then tell me that their translation is not biased and completely wrong

    So 1769 Kjv, which improved the perfect 1611 Kjv?

    I figure that 53 men, give or take ( many of whom were fluent in Koine Greek ),
    spent 7 years agonizing over whether or not the English was correct, then I doubt I'll find anything substantially wrong with it.;)

    Also true, but @SavedByGrace is just giving a shot in the dark. He should tell us what he perceives the error to be rather then sending everyone else on a goose chase.

    Do you understand Greek? Because there is no doubt that it cannot read as it does in the KJV
    Check other versions

    My guess is that @SavedByGrace issue with Acts 2:47 in the KJV is the use of the word should which only shows he does not know the English language if that be the case.

    Dr A T Robertson

    Those that were being saved (tou swzomenou). Present passive participle. Probably for repetition like the imperfect prosetiqei. Better translate it "those saved from time to time." It was a continuous revival, day by day. Swzw like swthria is used for "save" in three senses (beginning, process, conclusion), but here repetition is clearly the point of the present tense.

    Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

    That verse is perfect as it is. I can't doubt the word of God just because the verse is misused to teach heresy.

    I'd still like to know what in the world he thinks the issue is with the verse.

    There is literally no difference in meaning in those two translations. Not even a little.

    Guess finding fault with the Lord being the One to add daily to the church, not the free will decisions of lost sinners now to get saved!

    It was the work of the Lord directly Himself either passage!

    Except Esau ...

    [Mal 1:3 NASB] 3 but I have hated Esau, and I have made his mountains a desolation and [appointed] his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness."
    [Rom 9:13 NASB] 13 Just as it is written, "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."

    [Mal 1:3 YLT] 3 Is not Esau Jacob's brother? -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And I love Jacob, and Esau I have hated, And I make his mountains a desolation, And his inheritance for dragons of a wilderness.
    [Rom 9:13 YLT] 13 according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'

    [Mal 1:3 DBY] 3 and I hated Esau; and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his inheritance to the jackals of the wilderness.
    [Rom 9:13 DBY] 13 according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.

    [Mal 1:3 WEB] 3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
    [Rom 9:13 WEB] 13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.​

    (You seemed to think Young, Darby and Webster were important translations.)

    For those into the original language, the word in Malachi is H8130 שָׂנֵא sânêʼ, saw-nay'; a primitive root; to hate (personally) and the word in Romans is G3404 μισέω miséō, mis-eh'-o; from a primary μῖσος mîsos (hatred); to detest (especially to persecute).

    Yeah I am really scratching my head on what @SavedByGrace thinks the problem is here.

    It is not finding any fault with the Bible but with the KJV using its theological bias in their rendering of the Greek, which is not what the Greek says

    What do you think the problem is? There is literally no difference between the KJV and NASB other than updated language.
