Modified Bible Verses And Its Repercussions by medeay(m): 7:46am On May 21, 2015 |
I'm wondering were are some passages in the NIV, like: Matthew 17:21 Matthew 18:11 Mark 9:44 Mark 11:26 Mark 15:28 Luke 17:36 And some more. Also there are some passages where the NIV delete some phrases as in Matthew 5:44 NIV But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you KJV But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you I don't understand the need of change the bible as it was for so many years, I personally find the old versions really rich in culture and those express much more than the news versions does. Also in the Old versions, the points and commas were really important to don't change the original meaning. And the Bible teaches that God is the one that gives us revelation through the Holly Spirit to understand the scriptures, so there's no need to change the Bible to make it 'more understandable' And finally in the bible says: Revelation 22:18-19 KJV For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. |

medeay: Because the Bible is not translated from a single scripture, but an amalgamation of over 50000 parts of parchment, few of which are in agreement with each other; and new ones keep turning up in new finds, and have to be incorporated. Therefore, the Bible compilers need to keep rubbing and pasting until Jesus returns. Live with it. |

Sorry, but there it is. |

how so we deal with this: " Revelation 22:18-19 KJV
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words
of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto him the
plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any
man shall take away from the words of the book of
this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of
the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from
the things which are written in this book." |

i really don't think they are removing or adding anything. Me think they are just translating the Bible to a lay man's understanding. Moreover, that KJV is actually too clumsy considering the outdated English it is written with. Personally, i prefer the newer versions that are easier to read and understand |

Mprex: It is not just a question of language or translation. The op is referring to whole verses chucked out in some versions. How can deleting passages make them easier to understand? Op. Maybe you need to ask your pastor. He should be in the best position to explain. |
