Atheism: The True Path?

[leo-rcc]

Just a quick google on "most accurate version of the bible" gives me these top 3:

As a new Christian, I read the NIV because it was easy to understand. After a few years (and Bible studies), I started using the King James Version because I understood that it was the "closest to the original transcript; i.e. Hebrew/Greek" than other versions. It was difficult to understand -- but I started to use a Concordance to find out the original meaning/root word of the "difficult words" used in KJ. WOW! It's very time-consuming, but there is SO MUCH more to learn, appreciate, and understand if you take the time to dig into the root meaning of every single word in the Bible. It brings it to life and makes it easier to understand. It's almost as if there is a "hidden" message if you understand the root word. Of course, I also have to give credit to the Holy Spirit who gives me wisdom in understanding His word

The original King James Version is the most accurate and it is the one true Bible. Any time a new version of the Bible is written it must have a number of differences in order to be considered a revised version. Most all other Bibles to not even have all of the verses that are in the King James Version. The King James Version was translated out of the original tongues . The following scripture says that if any man changes or takes away from the book of prophesy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life! I only use the King James Version and I trust no other to give me the fullness it offers me! Revelation 22: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.

I would have to to say the King James Version of the Bible.

If you are interested in serious study of the Bible, including grammar and vocabulary, you will want a more literal translation, such as the English Standard Version, New King James, or New American Standard. However, it is always good to compare several translations, especially for passages that are difficult to understand. If you are interested in reading the Bible in large blocks, you probably will prefer one of the freer translations (not necessarily less accurate), such as the New International, New Living Translation, or Contemporary English Version.

For accuracy and faithfulness to the text the King James, the New King James or the Amplified Bible are excellent. Failing that the New American Standard or the Revised version are not quite as accurate word for word but significantly more accurate than the Good News or Living Bible.

So basically just the fist search on Google shows a preference to the King James version for the literal translations and others varying from the NIV to the NASB for more "readability". In these 3 sites only one preference was given to the NIV over King James or New King James for having less errors.

Now You might argue that these are examples of "arguments from authority" and "arguments from popularity" and I would even grant you that. But keep in mind I only posted this because you said "The fact is that EVERY Christian agrees with me. That's enough for an assertion." And these cases from the top 3 alone show that that is not the case.
