What About Young's 'Literal' Translation?
What about Young's 'literal' translation? Young’s “literal” (Hah!) translation I recently had another conversation at one of the Christian Forums about whether or not there exists such a thing as a complete, inspired and 100% true Bible in any language, and I ran into another guy who was trying to push Young’s ‘literal’ translation as being better than the King James Bible. So, I addressed the points he raised and then finally decided to write something more about this bogus bible version so that everyone can see it for what it is - just another shabbily dressed impostor. Here is our initial conversation, followed by some more examples of just how pathetic this so called ‘literal” translation really is. Will (that’s me) said: "Young's has some very serious problems. Do you have eternal life or just "age during life"? Is God from everlasting to everlasting, or just "age during"? The man recommending Young’s then responds: [quote]” I believe that many people make the mistake of equating eternal to everlasting and the phrase age-during. Eternal is uncreated and not bound by time. Everlasting, Forever, or Age-During is a created state, but may go on without end. A Hebrew age is a reference to a thousand year lifespan such as Adam and Methuselah experienced. If you accept the holy-day prophecy of 6 thousand years of work and 1 thousand year reign of God, age-during makes sense in a dispensational way. The understanding of the Hebrew 'owlam' is persistent endurance which can render as everlasting, forever, or the during part of -age-during. -
Preface to the NEW KING JAMES VERSION
00-FM-NKJV-AB-2.qxd 3/29/2008 9:01 AM Page vii Preface TO THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION Purpose In the preface to the 1611 edition, the translators of the Authorized Version, known popularly as the King James Bible, state that it was not their purpose “to make a new translation . but to make a good one bet- ter.” Indebted to the earlier work of William Tyndale and others, they saw their best contribution to con- sist in revising and enhancing the excellence of the English versions which had sprung from the Refor- mation of the sixteenth century. In harmony with the purpose of the King James scholars, the translators and editors of the present work have not pursued a goal of innovation. They have perceived the Holy Bible, New King James Version, as a continuation of the labors of the earlier translators, thus unlocking for today’s readers the spiritual treasures found especially in the Authorized Version of the Holy Scriptures. A Living Legacy For nearly four hundred years, and throughout several revisions of its English form, the King James Bible has been deeply revered among the English-speaking peoples of the world. The precision of translation for which it is historically renowned, and its majesty of style, have enabled that monumental version of the word of God to become the mainspring of the religion, language, and legal foundations of our civilization. Although the Elizabethan period and our own era share in zeal for technical advance, the former period was more aggressively devoted to classical learning. -
THE ISSUE of REBAPTISM at Issue Is How We Are to Understand the Purpose of Baptism As Well As the Mode of Baptism
THE ISSUE OF REBAPTISM At issue is how we are to understand the purpose of baptism as well as the mode of baptism. If baptism if for the purpose of receiving forgiveness from God for past sins, then one does not have salvation prior to baptism - because salvation cannot be granted us while we are still in our sinful state. If baptism is not for the purpose of receiving forgiveness for past sins, then it is not essential to salvation because our sinful state was changed prior to baptism. In this case, baptism is understood as a required rite, but one that only "testifies" to the forgiveness, acceptance, that God has already granted us. One key text in this discussion (but not the only one) is Acts 2:38. Below are several English translation renderings of this text. King James Version - "for the remission of sins. American Standard Version - "unto the remission of sins. New King James Version - "for the remission of sins." New International Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Revised Standard Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." New Revised Standard Version - "so that your sins may be forgiven." New American Standard Bible - " for the forgiveness of your sins." World English Bible - "for the forgiveness of sins." Bible in Basic English - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Contemporary English Version - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Good News Bible - "so that your sins will be forgiven." God's Word - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Young's Literal Translation - "to remission of sins." Modern King James Version -

The Rapture Debate Jesus Was Born in a Small Village
The Rapture Debate Jesus was born in a small village outside of Jesusalem called Bethlehem, presumambly the son of Mary and Joseph who themselves were descendants of King David. The ancient Hebrew prophets had long before written many things concerning Jesus. Hundreds of specific statements are found throughout the Hebrew scriptures that speak with clarity and authority hundreds of years before His birth. Soon after birth, Jesus lived for a short time in Egypt and then most of His life in northern Israel in the hill country of Galilee. At about thirty years of age, Jesus began a public ministry mostly in the area around the Sea of Galilee with an occasional appearance in Jerusalem and elsewhere. Around Him was gathered a close group of 12 men while many others often flocked to be near Him as well. These early seekers listened to words of wisdom, instruction in righteousness (often not the typical traditional line) and were witness to countless miracles of healings, casting out demons, and even raising of the dead. He taught both privately and out in the open, even teaching in the Hebrew Synagogues. Often, Jesus was found in conflict with religious authorities, especially when He traveled to Jerusalem. Despite a constant display of kindness, love, and compassion, Jesus was accused of many things; violating the Sabbath, organizing rebellion against Rome and repeatedly claiming that God was His Father (blasphemy). The establishment would have none of it though many regular folks thought otherwise. To them, this just might be the long- awaited Messiah, the king so clearly written of by the prophets. -

(2nd Timothy 3:16-17) -------------------------------- "Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible-reading. God has mercifully given us a book which is "able to make [us] wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2nd Timothy 3:15). By reading that book we may learn what to believe, what to be, and what to do; how to live with comfort, and how to die in peace. Happy is that man who possesses a Bible!

King James Version (KJV)
NEW HEART BEAT DEVOTIONS KJV Only, Well Almost By Charles L. Stambaugh 03/24/2015 A few days before starting this paper, it was suggested that I use the New International Version (NIV) in my New Heart Beat Devotions. It would be a lot easier for people to read instead of the King James Version (KJV). I responded nicely with my reasons for using the KJV. Then I began to think. I have been using the KJV for 45 years. It was the version I was converted with. It was the version I grew up with and was taught from at Liberty Baptist College. I have been basing my faith in the KJV for years but without really knowing how and why it was written, the history, and understanding the debates over it. So I began the research using the internet. (It is so great that these days, we do not have to leave our own desk to find information. I wish the internet was around when I was in college.) I learned a lot during this week of research and I hope you will find it interesting. I have given you internet addresses and created hyperlinks so that you can verify, read more details and come up with your own conclusions. In this paper, I will briefly describe the creation of the King James Version, its’ early history, its’ authorization, and its’ history in the US. I will show that there were many KJV revisions due to various reasons. One version of the KJV was called the “She Bible” and another called the “Wicked Bible”. -

The World's Most Accurate English Bible Rotherham's Emphasized Bible
The World's Most Accurate English Bible Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (Free Download at: http://www.teleiosministries.com/rotherhambible.html ) (By Joseph Rotherham 1902) (www.teleiosministries.com) “ TheEmphasizedBibleisoneofthemostinnovativeandthoroughlyresearch- ed translations ever done by a single individual. Its presentation of emphases and grammatical features of the original language still reward careful study.1” “A strictly literal rendering may not be so pleasant to the ear as one where the apparent sense is chiefly aimed at, yet it is not euphony but truth that ought to be sought. There are tens of thousands departures from the original text in the current versions. There are about two thousand instances in the New Testament where the definite article (the) is omitted. Verbal inspiration can be the least practical use to those who depend upon those versions” (Young’s preface). The Rotherham Emphasized Bible is the World’s best English translation of the Hebrew and Greek text, that we have seen to date and the most Poetic.2 This translation’s shortcoming is in capitalizing the common noun, 'spirit' [ruah (pneuma)].
