...It is absolutely destructive to say that Christians who use other versions are "so-called" Christians. A Christian is one who puts trust in Jesus Christ for salvation from the power of sin; indwelt by the Holy Spirit who is transforming us as we cooperate with Him, All versions state Jesus is God. The NKJV says "yet" in John 7:8, with a footnote that it is not included in the Alex. Text, which has been proven faulty, and cast aside. God preserves His word.
I agree that the Alexandrian Text, used in the Jehovah's Witness Bible, and less extensively in the NIV, is not the best text to use. However, both the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text are good texts. They are used in the KJV, NKJV, Amplified and NASB bibles. I agree that God preserves His word. The Alexandrian Text was disproved by the Majority Text, the Textus Receptus was confirmed by the Majority Text. Today, there is access to Hebrew/Greek Dictionaries to check original words...
This is a must-companion for "The 'Sacred Name' Movement Exposed" videos (2), also by BereanBeacon, as well as the "Frank Logsdon from the NASV to the KJV," still by BereanBeacon.
Awesomely informative video! Thank you, Dave, for posting these!
Thanks for posting this. Very cool. Truely the topic of different translations are of great importance, since so many Americans do not take the time to study even one translation. So, it is imperative that when we pick up the bible, it is the message the Lord intended.
@Howie47 Which two of the three would be rhetorical nonsense? And full of myself, no. If full of anything sir, I would be full of actual reason. Actual intelligence, Actual Thinking. It seems as though you are the one full of "nonsense". You tend to state scripture in situations which do not apply to it and somehow think that they do. Maybe its more delusional than nonsensical. I cannot tell, for I do not know you. And still, way to avoid the actual topic.
@TheChemicMedic To me, both of your statements are rhetorical nonsense, of someone who is full of them selves and not the Lord. However for the sake of other readers. ( You could have been taught the scriptures from your youth, gotten the highest seminary degrees, and still not Know the Lord). Jesus asked Peter, "who do you think I am", Peter, "though are the Christ". Jesus, "flesh and blood has not taught you this, but God the father has".
My "statement" was actually a rhetorical statement. A rhetorical statement is actually a rhetorical question that plays the role of a statement in that it is not meant to be answered. A rhetorical question is a figure of speech -- a tool used in writing to emphasize a point or to present a challenge. An effective rhetorical question will serve as a call to action; It will challenge a reader to think for themselves.
How can Jesus be liar when he never wrote anything down? Sure it is true there was no global flood but that is an old myth.

@MissRiki1987 The NLT(2nd edition) removes "yet" in John 7:8, which turns Jesus into a liar. So I would say yes, the NLT IS a sinful translation.

@servantanna I agree, it is destructive to call Christians who use other versions, "so-called Christians".
