Hey, the King James version was good enough for St. Paul, so it's good enough for Billy Joel!

I wonder how Billy would react after reading something like "Misquoting Jesus", where the author (an expert) states that "the King James version is filled with places in which the translators rendered a Greek text derived ultimately from Erasmus's edition, which was based on a single twelfth-century manuscript that is one of the worst of the manuscripts that we now have available to us!" (Erhman, Page 209)

Either -- you are fluent in Greek and Hebrew and thus can make and provide support for a well reasoned (though still fallible) judgment yourself (in which case you would not need to rely on the KJV or any translation) -- or -- you are relying on the words and beliefs of one set of other, fallible, humans, and rejecting the words of many other people, to make this claim; and you, another fallible human, has made the choice of which of these people's words to accept or reject.

Which is it?

On behalf of Satan and all his minions, I'd just like to clarfiy that the Dark Lord is only responsible for the American Standard Translation of the Bible. While the New International Version is a Cathar heresy, it was produced by an independent agency, as were the various other less popular translations, and neither Satan nor any of his affiliates were in any way involved and take no responsibility for the translations in those texts.

The original books of the Bible were written in Hebrew and Greek. Therefore, the Bible, according to Bill Joey, was originally a work of Satan, and remained a work of Satan for centuries until the King James translation.

Why the hell would the Pope be supporting the NIV? It's a Protestant Bible. The Catholic Bible has more books.

The 2001 English Standard Version is now heavily being promoted by many churches. It is a revision of the old Revised Standard Version, which earlier met with almost universal condemnation by evangelicals as being "liberal". Yet in the last few decades the church has been "softened up" by numerous conflicting bible versions like the NASB and NIV to now be ready to accept with open arms what it once rejected.
This page goes into some depth on the differences between the KJV and the perversions.
