God very much deserves our "A game" but just because it takes my mind when im trying to read to be on its "A game" doesn't mean my spirit is giving its "A game" or on its "A game".  I put forth 100% effort and learn the most reading the NLT.  I don't disagree we need to study, but I can study using any version.


Like you said though, and like the point I am trying to prove. There are many many different translations for one word in the greek and hebrew, especially from Aramaic the original hebrew language. If you read something that's combed over 15 times are you really reading what you are supposed to? This is what I mean about putting forth 100% effort with body mind and soul. Don't cheat and say hey well I'm not giving 100% with my mind, but I know my spirit is... Give God your true "A Game" and break the bible down to the rediculus Word for Word. The bible is only 1000+plus pages, you could read it 1000+ times in a life time. Reading is easy. We are called to "Study and teach". Bust out the magnifying glass and really dive deep into the word!!

We don't know how it's combed over, you are assuming the only version translated from the original texts was KJV versions, and the rests were translated via the KJV. Which I don't think (but can't say for sure is 100% positive). I am giving God my "A game", and only He can judge if I am or am not. I don't disagree we should study, study, study it, but I find I draw closer to Christ reading from the NLT and studying from it.

The thing is, we don't know the translation of the KJV to be the most accurate, most greek/hebrew words translated have more than 1 word, where in the English language we have one word.  Doubtful it will ever be 100% word for word accurately translated. Like you said, no translation will get it "perfect".  The Holy Spirit guiding us reading any translation will decipher for us what it means, regardless of version.  I just feel like I have to be on my "A game" when reading the KJV.  When I read I will read a few pages and realize I have no idea what I read (usually when reading the Bible its a little better than that cause I pray prior and try my best to stay focused and usually get so into it).  But when reading the NLT I can just sit back and read it without having to think super hard, etc.


This /\ I feel more on my "A game" this way.
I'm starting to read a section and then go back over it and pick through it. Reading it the way I talk is easier to understand and I use my KJV next to me to see the difference in text.

the most accurate bible in print today is the new world translation. but it depends on what accurate means to you, there's accurate that supports whatever belief one has, then there's accurate going by the texts that exist today.
