Thanks for the posting the link!

Here is a link to a modern version translator that admits his version was corrupt, tells how fellow translators corrupt modern versions, and testifies to the quality of the King James Bible: https://archive.org/details/nasb_renounced

I have resurrected this thread on the KJV and MV's, as the other two threads have to do with CCM and  "Wines of the Bible." There are also only four replies, including mine, in this thread.  It might be easier to follow.  Thank you.

Taking from the other thread, the most current account for best selling Bibles in America for 2013 still has the NIV at number one, still followed by the KJB. The ESV moved up to 3rd, with the NLT still in forth and the NKJV dropping to 5th.

[candlelight]

Okay.  I heard that the 1982 NIV is going out of print soon.  This is supposed to affect the NIV being number one on the bestseller's list in the future.  I thought it already had.  I was mistaken.

[John81]

The older versions of the NIV are already out of print. Beginning last year only the newest version of the NIV was available.

 

This has had a big impact on all those things which used the NIV for their materials as they can only proceed with the NIV if they update to the new version and then people/churches must buy the new NIV so it matches the new material.

 

Some companies and churches have chose to go with other versions instead, it seems the NLT may be the preferred newer version.

 

If enough people/churches/companies switch to the new NIV that may keep it in the top selling spot for 2014. However, if a good number choose to go another direction that could knock the NIV down the list.

 

Still, with all the various MVs out there and all the negative press about the KJB and the massive promotion of MVs it's amazing the KJB is has been the 2nd best selling version in America for these past years.

This is in the IFB only area, not public, so certain people will not be able to see or contribute.

But I think I may have scared them into silence anyway. .....

[John81]

I had thought of that since those questioning the KJB issue can't post here.

 

I tried to find out what translation or version of the Bible is the best selling worldwide but couldn't come up with any. All I could find was the Bible, in general (meaning they count all versions and translations together), is by far the best selling book in the world.

 

That doesn't tell us much because many of those are Catholic Bibles, plus all the various MVs, different language translations, along with the KJB.

[candlelight]

Ooops.  Now, I see it is the IFB section.  Thanks, Dave.

LOL!  Why people come to a KJVO forum to argue other versions is beyond me.

[John81]

If you start a KJB thread in the general forum under Lounge, then everyone will see it and can post to it.

[candlelight]

I don't think I will start a thread on it, John.  People should realize this is a KJVO site and arguing over the KJV is a mute point those of us who hold to the KJV.

[John81]

That's up to you. Yes, it's clear this is a KJO site, but that doesn't prove the validity of KJO. Something to keep in mind since not all who visit here, or join, use the KJB.

I simply do not understand why anyone would join this site if they do not use the KJV.  If I used an MV, this is the last place I would come to fellowship.
