How can you say that the NLT is more accurate after my first post? What did you think about the translation in Romans? |
Anything that is thought-for-thought is going to be more accurate, in my opinion. No one with any scholastic integrity has ever favored the KJV for its accuracy.
As far as the reading level...I wouldn't agree with the 5th grade level thing, not in practical purposes, anyway. In fact, the language style used in the translation of the bible has never been spoken in the history of this planet. It's a completely "made-up" style in an attempt to sound spiritual. Speaking of, I always crack up when someone prays in "King James English."
I didn't really read the examples you posted. I'm not in a good place right now to research it if I need to. However, as anyone else who is defending a position no matter what, if I try hard enough I can explain it away!
