I'm an NLT bible-thumper. Literal translations like the KJV can never truly capture the real meaning of what is being said...in my opinion. When speaking with a translator, the only way that translator can relate the content of what is being said, is to give "Thought Translation", which is what the NLT is. If a speaking translator were to give a literal word for word translation, it wouldn't make any sense to the hearer. This is why I feel the NLT is a much more accurate translation and the "experts" are starting to jump on board.
But really, the KJV contains some "Thought" translation as well, just not nearly as much.
But Pressing-On, I'm really surprised you'd want to read a bible that was translated by 44 trinitarian theologians for a gay king!
