Not really. Honest translators translate according to the underlying texts they are using without regard for personal ideology. But, many don't like to admit that.

You will find that where translations are difficult or disputed, one's ideology will be the deciding the factor.

Let me give you one example hotly debated here.

Which is the proper translation of Judges 11:31?

then whoever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me ... I will offer him up for a burnt offering. - RSV

whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering. - NIV

Oh, for the love of Pete, give it up. You're like someone who's on Ritalin! It isn't Judges 11:31 at all, ADD boy.

As I read through some of the comments on the forum, I quite often see people sneering at churches that are KJV-only. Have any of you really reviewed the potential pitfalls with not using only the KJV? Are these other versions of the Bible, such as the NIV, NASV, and even the NKJV sinful?

The NIV contains 185 omissions from that of the KJV. Why is this an issue? (See Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelations 22:19). For example, one verse that’s particularly troubling is Luke 4:4:

KJV version: “And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”

NIV version: Jesus answered, “It is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone.”

The NIV Bible version comes from the lineage of Wescott-Hort (1881). These were liberals who didn’t believe in the virgin birth. Did you know that?

That is called circular reasoning, or some other logical error. You assume that the KJV is always correct, and that any difference is an omission, as if the NIV were taking away from scripture. The problem is, you have absolutely no idea how to translate scripture.

Excuse me, sir! That PhD diploma in ancient Hebrew linguistics that’s hanging on my office wall says otherwise. 😉

The two diplomas on my wall, Masters In Biblical Studies, and Master of Divinity, don't say that I can.

The three on my wall have zero to do with anything theological, but I’m learning the old fashioned way.

Since when did the School Of Hard Knocks begin issuing diplomas?
