I have concern with some Bible version because some very important verses are ripped off...
Is not all words of GOD important and to be held reverence?
Why you think some verses of the Bible should be ripped off in some Bible version?
What verses are you talking about?
There are so many bible translation debates on here. You can read through them here....

Because this is where not all words were included in the different manuscripts which are all covered in the previous threads, if you wan to read through them.
God bless,

A safe compromise version for people who are sensitive over these issues is the NKJV.
It works with the majority manuscript which does use earlier manuscripts but stays faithful to much of the textus receptus older more full manuscript.
Lisa: Thanks for posting those links.
I enjoy the big 5, KJV, ESV, NIV, NASB, NKJV
But Ive recently found the Holman study bible to be pretty good too.
I know this summary is never going to satisfy those who strongly endorse a particular version and anathematize others.
If you endorse your favorite English Version, or Anathematize another English version...just remember those who cannot speak English( which are hundreds of millions) but have a bible in their native language...I suppose it must be concluded the Chinese, Filipino and a large number of other bibles are equally doomed under such scrutiny.
All of those Christian do not have a 'bible' like you have and therefore unless they learn to read English and adopt your version they are reading nothing but corruption.
KJV only or any other 'only-ist' is a kind of spiritual monster that seeks to funnel anything not aligning to their views into falsehood, corruption, deception, error.
For me, that kind of thinking is equal to complete arrogance, I don't know how you could even describe it in any civil terms.
By the way, the cults that have arisen in times past didn't arise because of NIV or even a paraphrase, they arose by men of corrupt minds reading a KJV.
Guilt by association is dangerous and it cuts both ways.
