977 dollars tho?

Smh

Better be ordained and blessed by a priest

Still not buying it.

@Enkrum pay for it on my onlyfans

If that was an actual sword maybe

If my memory serves me right

There was a verse mentioning that unnecessary complexity is bad

That everything should be as simple as possible

*unnecessary* is key i would imagine

The complexity of the bible is necessary, there is so much doctrine and beauty in it

Reducing it for personal understanding isn't always bad

Duoay Rheims Version didn't attempt any complexity, it just went for a proper translation.

KJV perplexes me because it has language that wasn't even common nor necessary at the time

I think they were trying to make it more esoteric or royal sounding or such

If only I could speak Latin or such so I didn't have to concern myself with this

@Eoppa Hm, the issue is

One who understands the Bible in a very basic way knows, in the grand scheme of things, the same as someone who spent they're entire life studying it

Because 1 of infinity, and 1000 of infinity are still infinitely small

Then tell me why there are those who deny the divinity of Christ? You can easily interpret wrong.

The amount of information not known is exactly the same

I use gnt because I've read thru maybe 30 different translations

And gnt is the best balance for me

Between readability and complexity

If there is one that is better, please let me know

And yet we come to much different conclusions

That probably is a good translation, but not for a more in depth analysis

Oh I know, I don't use it for in depth analysis

But for just reading

For in-depth I personally opt for kjv just because I grew up with it

I'll sometimes use KJVA, I grew up with KJV too

My Bible study leader, he uses CEB for reading and your DR edition for studying

Why did kjv become so popular

It seems like it's the most commonly used

Or at least most widely known

it should be dhouay rheims

I haven't looked too far into it, but it probably has to do with the King wanting to get rid of the books the Catholic church recognized and such.

Catholic Church is true church

so

Yes
