    The NKJV demonstrates the KJV is deeply flawed.
    The use of mythical animals in the KJV demonstrates it is deeply flawed.
    Translating different places as the same place, i.e. Hades and Gehenna both as Hell, demonstrates the KJV is deeply flawed.
    I could list dozens of flaws and each and every one would be said to be a non-flaw.

    There are far more flaws in the Critical Text than in the KJV. The critical text being what is used in the newer versions. Nothing upsets me more than for someone who does';t know what they are talking about when they run down the most successful Bible of our time The Catholic Church is ecstatic over it fooling the people once again. After al, it comes from the RCC

    The Critical Greek text so called is what we seen being used to a large extent back in first centuries of the Church though!

    Even the 1611 Translators stated was the best of their time, but that when future evidences was discovered, as in manuscripts and historical, the KJV must be updated and revised!

    That truth is not just in the Kjv, as the Lord made sure that we had his word from early on!

    That is false The critical text was translated in the 1800's by two men named Wescott and Hort..Both of ill repute.

    Actually, it was because the AV makers believed they were real. After all, a unicorn was depicted on their nation's & their king's coats-of-arms.

    Translating hades as hell is a goof, but doesn't ruin the whole work.
    A "deep flaw" would be saying something such as "Jesus was just a man", etc. What we have are a number of nicks & scratches.

    The new King James started off stealing the name KJV. It is not a new KJV it was translated from the critical text and has nothing to do with the same manuscripts of the KJV..

    That is not true at all. You have been given false information. Read the preface to the NKJV for the facts.

    MMRRPP ! WRONG !

    It was translated from the same texts the AV was translated from, with due consideration being given to the several thousand mss. found since then.

    Think that some in the myth of the KJVO seem to think that due to the Nkjv giving in margins the MU and CT renderings as if they used those texts!

    Correct, as the translators used the same sources as the 1611 team did!

    Once again this post offers absurdity. Did anyone say the KJV contains "deep flaws?" Deeply flawed refers a numerous flaws such that the whole work is deeply flawed. Did anyone say the whole work was ruined? Nope. Much better translation choices are available, that use more up to date words and are better understood by readers.

    Your allegation is not true. You have been misinformed. The NKJV is not translated from the critical text. The NKJV lists critical text readings in its marginal notes, but that does not mean that the NKJV was translated from it.

    The NKJV is based on the same original-languages texts as the KJV.

    The KJV may have more influence from non-Textus Receptus sources than the NKJV has since the Church of England makers of the KJV borrowed many renderings from the 1582 Roman Catholic Rheims New Testament translated from an edition of the Latin Vulgate of Jerome.

    On and on the false claims concerning the NKJV are posted.
    1John 5:7 (KJV) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (TR)

    1John 5:7 (NKJV) For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. (TR)

    1 John 5:7 (WEB) For there are three who testify: (MT)

    1 John 5:7 (NASB) For there are three that testify: (CT)

    Nupe! Posted the TRUTH. But I agree there are better English Bible translations around, & the KJV is a "Model T" version.

    How about Hebrews 2:16 .With verses Like 1st Cor 1:18 Are we being saved or are we saved? Does Christ aid the seed of Abraham? or did He take on the seed of Abraham? Matt 2 :16 Did Herod kill all the children or only the male children 2 years old and under?
    The Latin Vulgate was old testament.

    Since you did not post a reference to where anyone claimed the "deep flaws" rather than "deeply flawed" you did not post the truth. Full Stop
