Featured I am a KJVOs

There are no fully formal translations as you have acknowledged several times. If the KJV,NKJV, NASB and ESV use dynamic equivalence sometimes, then they cannot be considered "fully formal" translations.

No, the mediating versions are not between formal and free. They are between the more form-oriented ones and the functionally equivalent translations. "The Free: ones are on the extreme right side of the chart.

And you said ESV/CSB/NIV NIV/NLT.

Why did you place the NIV in two different slots?

 

God had His message to us to read before the Kjv!

 

My mistake, i was trying to list the formal to mediating to free versions.

 

Okay, that's a better explanation, as long as you realize the meaning of the metaphor of Christ as the Word.

Languages do change. I've had many "aha" moments listening to American English after coming back from 33 years n Japan. I've learned quite a few new words and meanings.

I have a reprint of the 1611. It's readable if you remember such things as the "s" being an "f," etc. However, my old Hebrew teacher was walking down the hall one day with one of those when a strong KJV advocate walked up and said, "What's that?" On learning it was a 1611 replica, he excitedly asked to see it--and couldn't read it!

Amen to that.

"Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

 

Y1, why haven't you responded to the above?

 

I believe the KJVO myth has been proven false. GOD IS NOT LIMITED to the KJV in English.

It's fine if one wishes to use only the KJV or any other one version from personal preference, but telling others that the KJV or any other one Bible translation is the ONLY valid Bible translation is TELLING A LIE.

There's NO Scriptural support for that man-made fable.
