and yet people say "beware the comic-book bible"
more modern bibles put it more accurately in line with the original hebrew
I'll have you know, dear Peg, that some people think the KJV the most reliable bible there is, being based upon the earlier, better Greek rather than vulgate Roman texts that those Catholic idol-worshippers use, and that it is leagues better than "modern" "reinterpretations" (read "perversions") that lesser spiritually-aware like to peddle to those who dearly need to be protected from such.
Sarcasm aside, I've heard the "NIV" called "the comic-book bible" and worse, and that in its attempt to modernise has bastardized the very text it sought to protect, that the scribes used way back when were trained specifically to do their job...and that the newer editions went to the lowest bidder.
Unless you've good reason to think any one particular version better, I'd be surprised if anyone will give up their own for yours (just like I'm convinced you'll never drop NIV for KJV).
