Thanks to all who responded to my question. I agree that all bibles have flaws, which is why I have multiple translations, so that I can use them in parallel. The unique thing about the English language is that its so diverse. We can use many words that mean the same thing, or almost. Many languages do not have this luxury. Back to my point, I think that even though many translations have errors, they do not all have the same errors and as long as we have the original manuscripts, we can always get back to the original text. I once read where many people use the KJV as the the most literal translation, but it too had some flaws. I'm not sure what they were. The KJV was commissioned back in the early 1600's (1611 ?). Soon after, came the NKJV, after it's revisions. Personally, I cannot make heads or tails out of much of it, so I went with NLT, and the NIV. They may not be the most accurate, but they certainly are the most comprehensive. BTW, the NLT is fairly new to the biblical world, or at least I think it is. Thanks for the feedback!
