King James. It's a bit confusing at first but eventually you'll begin to understand it (ask God for help) and you'll be glad to read the closest-to-the-source bible, prior to which it gets too incomprehensible and latin-y.

English Standard Version or King James are the way to go. ESV is in simpler English but still orthodox, while KJV is just the raw original book in older English.

Catholics literally compiled/released the bible and don't follow it literally! Specially the old testament.
But ofc proteststant pick up translations and follow it literally.
Just another reminder: the bible is a compilation of books written centuries apart in different languages. You will never know what an autor of a paticular bible book meant in a verse. Sometimes meaning is lost in text on your current language, now imaginlanguageg the correct meaning from a dead autor in a dead language.
Everyone taking the bible literally and spending years finding the right translation are retards. Uou should check different translations but you will never find the correct meaning.

>When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
>As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
>Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
>“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
>“Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

There are several versions of the King James Version. There is a new KJV (literally called NKJV) that keeps the poetry style but is modernized. Normal KJV Bible's use words like "thee, thou, shalt" etc. It hasn't aged well by our standard for talking but is poetic.
For an extremely accurate translation I'd recommend ESV like everyone else is saying or Holman Christian Standard Bible. The HCSB is just like the ESV but not as popular because it focuses on Calvinism a little more than the other.
Inaccurate, false, and even flat out wrong standards include The Message and sometimes the NIV. Both of those translations are so far gone that the original meaning is often lost, essentially they wrote a new bible and called it God's Word.
P.S. NKJV is still accurate it just cuts it close sometimes due to the poetic nature of the translation.

Hit the nail on the head there. If you are interested in the Bible for religious reasons what is being conveyed is pretty close from translation to translation and digging any deeper will put you well below the noise floor of inaccurate literal translation and cultural influence.

Please watch the two video links I provided -- they show you many examples of why that isn't true:
youtube.com
youtube.com
Also, this video covers contradictions found in non-KJVs that aren't in the KJV:
youtube.com
Non-KJVs are based on Wecott and Hort crap and Alexandrian texts (this is explained in the XPXYSjflvOQ YouTube video) which changes key verses and removes hundreds or even thousands of verses from the entire Bible.
You might say that non-KJVs are easier to read, but the KJV has a lower grade level reading score than the others, and many of the non-KJVs replace simple words like tree with words people have never read and can't understand.
Any change or alteration to God's word should be viewed with extreme suspicion. Otherwise, you might as well believe that the faggoty new Bibles that make God gender-neutral are A-OK.
I like the advice of a pastor I follow: "If you want an easy-to-read book, go read Dr. Seuss. The Word of God is something different."

>Thinking Jesus had long hair when Paul specifically says it's a shame for a man to have long hair and a shame against Christ.
Luke Sanchez
I did not expect this passage to work so well
I'm a catholic
I was raised catholic and I understand most of the logical holes are from human error and whatnot. It answers pretty much all my questions about the world and gives me a sense of comfort, and I see no logical reason for me to abandon it.
I think most of the old testament was passed down orally for generations before being written, so with that, the line between tribal mythology and the world of god is blurred. Yet God is omnipotent and shit, even if people wrote it down wrong, he could fulfill their misprinted prophecies to make a point. The New Testament is much more rock solid though.
God is a non-interventionist, so as to not infringe upon our free will. If I pray that I get a girlfriend, if he made a girl fall in love with me when she wouldn't have normally, he's violating her free will. Most of the miracles performed in the Bible are done to prove a point or something. God is capable of ending human suffering at the flick of a switch, but as Genesis alludes to, we have been given free will instead, and by being responsible with such a gift, in the end we don't have to suffer. But God is mysterious, we can't try to understand everything he does. Think of a little ant in the forest that sees a huge truck go by. The ant is physically incapable of understanding the complexity of what the truck is and how it works. It just sees a large, strange, moving object.

The new testament should have ended with the gospels. Paul had some good ideas but he is not God, and should not be regarded as any kind of authority. Only that which comes from the words of God himself should be followed.

KJV Bible (not to be confused with NKJV), and if you are unfamiliar with the story of Christ, read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as they are all renditions of Christ's time on this earth from each author. After that is Acts (stories of the apostles after Christ's death and resurrection), and then Romans, etc. are all letters to various churches and pastors.
Or you can just listen to the audiobook (this is the best one you will find, with great sound effects):

Why? Can you prove anything he said as wrong? None of the three evolutionist professors there could. How do you explain such various and blatant inaccuracies of carbon dating? How do you explain carbon dating, dating a live snail as being thousands of years old? How do you actually believe with a straight face that nothing exploded and created everything and that rocks got rained on for hundreds of millions of years and that made a soup of chemicals that became monkeys after millions of years, that then became humans? I hate to be one of those "just watch the video" guys because it's usually a cop out, but JUST WATCH THE VIDEO. The raw amount of information from his speed-talking is enough to appreciate: youtube.com
He assblasts all of those professors as they just sit there almost speechless. Remember, user, satan is the prince and power of this world, and his job is to get you to doubt the Bible. He's not exactly dumb.
It's no coincidence that shortly after his tours were gaining traction, he spent nine years in prison for withdrawing his own money from his own bank account.
Daniel Torres
That is weird. We should just discard all of the OT and NT then, since they were all written by men via God. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John weren't God either, by your definition. And even so, Jesus didn't have long hair by many other methods of observation. Long-haired Jesus was made up by Renaissance Catholic faggots.
Anthony Richardson
I'm the first poster you replied to. I'll check out those videos later but I believe I thoroughly researched this years ago and made up my mind a while ago. I really don't believe there is anything wrong with word-for-word translations, this is coming from someone who only used KJV until I was 16 years old.
The one world government shit is scary and we are obviously heading in that direction, but as for seeing the Antichrist or anything like that in our lifetime I don't think it will happen.

Sure, but make sure you're not one of those people that forgets or doesn't really follow up on videos they intend to watch. I know how annoying "just watch this multi-hour video man, then you'll understand" is, but this is a case when it's much needed.
There is nothing wrong with word-for-word translations, you're right, as long as (1) they are from the correct manuscripts, and (2) they are translated honestly and correctly, both of which modern-era non-KJV bibles don't do.
Here is an example for you:
>Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg? (Job 6:6 King James Version)
>Is tasteless food eaten without salt, Or is there flavor in the juice of a mallow?
(Job 6:6 New World Translation)
Make sure yoU watch the video that shows common Bible contradictions in the non-KJV but not in the KJV: youtube.com
And, if nothing else, the video from 1988 of a pediatrician recalling things that a NWO insider addressed to a roomful of doctors in 1969, talking about things to come and their agenda (one of which being, to change the Bible, in small, barely noticeable bits, and to intentionally build American cars so that they will be pieces of shit and people will become more open to other countries' products. Also the pushing of homos and sexualization of kids, and cameras built into TVs. It also talks about how they will take over the Catholic church. Remember, this was all in 1969, and everything he said would happen has happened or will): youtube.com
If you don't watch these, it will screw you up big time, in my opinion. The antichrist is just around the corner, man. Look at the way the world is going, and the fact that we are so close to having the capability to deny sales or transactions to people without marks in their right hands or foreheads.

Religion is necessary for most people to function optimally. Ultimately it's just a social construct X amount of people follow because of X construct but the thing is, most people are too afraid to settle with unexplained phenomenons and mysteries so to cope they assimilate the closest explanation they believe to fit the bill and move on in their life rather than take into question what they have been taught or taught themselves due to X construct and risk an existential crisis.
It's the way it has been for eons and I believe will continue to be so as things are absolutely objectively proven otherwise and the mainstream comes to accept it. See catholics doing a 180 when it was scientifically confirmed many times over the earth is not flat and not the center of the universe. My best advice to accept it as a part of life and just let others choose to believe what they want as long as it doesn't hurt you or others. In the end none of this will even matter and your time and space occupied here is infinitely small compared to the know size of our universe to which may reside along other planes of existences.

Religion is dying my dude. The assemblies of god church network added like 60k followers in 2015. That's out of a nation of 400Mill.

What? Please don't pull this Jordan Peterson "le jewdeyo chrishtun principles" meme. Nearly all of societal and scientific progress was opposed by the church throughout history.
There's a reason it's despised in academic settings beyond religious studies. It's an enabler of ignorance, it teaches you to not question and not think and to live by a set of norms established by terrible people a couple thousand years ago.
This is absurd rationalization of religion. You're not religious, are you?

>Nearly all of societal and scientific progress was opposed by the church throughout history.
Which is exactly why they pursued their endeavors to prove/disprove whatever they were after. Think about it, religion's non compliance in and of itself was a tool for making people engage in scientific pursuits.
I know this sounds retarded but without religion we might not be where we are today. Think about it for a second.
Nathaniel Price
They didn't pursue science to spit others. They pursued science because of an insatiable desire by humans to know more. Some people are wired this way, and that's why they aren't religious. They don't buy into the religious meme of "dont learn, don't question, don't think". Meme in the literal sense.
>without religion we might not be where we are today
Absolutely this is correct. We would have a much more socially accepting and scientifically advanced culture.
You're doing a bad job at apologetics, no offense. I know how to play your role by the way, I was raised very religiously and studied the Bible, I've read it through and through.

>Religion is dying my dude
Correction: religion is dying in a decadent and dying civilization. You may notice basedboys, bugmen, cucks, feminists, fags, etc tend to be atheists (or, at the best, "cultural """""christians""""" "). They lack meaning of purpose, but continue to insist that their shackels are a blessing. Meanwhile it is those men and women who seek higher purpose beyond merely getting by and pleasure who seek God and find him. The west is rotting user, its days are numbered. This sodom shall perish, don't fall for the shit.
Also the mainstream media only covers christianity when people under that flag do bad things, otherwise they never report the numbers (which is #2 in the world by population), only the chinks and errors in its all too human fault.
I fear you're right about Gen Z. They were the West's last refuge and they dropped it whole-heartedly, once the millenials die the west may as well not exist.

Anons what I'm trying to get at is religion in and of itself might have played a deterministic role in the scientific discoveries and technology man has invented. Think of it this way: if most of humanity was not inclined to accept the social constructs around them without question due to existential fears would that really be a good thing long term? You and I exist because of generations of mostly people who did the opposite. It's not even about who was right or wrong but that the existence of polar opposites deterministically allowed beneficial things to happen.
Maybe I'm on the verge of going insane but I think we look at things way too localized without any regard for the perspective of a third person.
