"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1
The priceless gem of Christianity, the Word of God. As you may knowest in todays generation, there are many Bible translations available, which is a great blessing. Since there are many translations of the Bible but which one is true and accurate? The truth is there is no perfect English translation since many translations have their own weaknesses but the message is still perfect. We should all have many Bible translations because it can show us what the word of God is saying through many words.
Now, you may know that there are different structures in each and every English translation. This is quite normal because every translation was meant to have different translating strategies.
Example: The New American Standard Version (NASB) purpose is to present a literal word-for-word translation of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. The New International Version (NIV) purpose is to present a thought-for-thought translation for readers to easily understand the context of the Bible.
I have done quite a bit of homework on this topic and its an important topic. I founded that the New American Standard Bible to be great for Bible study because it has a strong literal wording of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. I also suggest English Standard Version and New King James Version to be great for Bible study too. For easily understanding of the Bible, I suggest Holman Christian Standard Bible, New International Version and Amplified Bible. (For Catholics, I suggest New American Bible.)
Sadly, there are many debates about Bible translations within a church or denomination. Few Protestant fundamentals hold only to the King James Version (KJV) because they believe that King James translation is the only word of God. They will state that any other translation besides the King James Version is "New Age" and devilish. This is commonly called "King James Onlyism" and I would strongly call this teaching a heresy.
There are a few English translations that many of you must avoid because cultist have translated and edited Bible to fit their heresy beliefs. Mormons have their own translation, which is called Mormon Bible, Joseph Smith Translation, or Inspired Version. As for the Jehovah's Witnesses, they created their own translation called New World Translation. There are a few more out there but I cannot remember. sweatdrop I suggest using common translations, which are known by many scholars and churches.
So the question I ask you is, which Bible translation you use? If you have any questions about English translations, please feel free to reply!

Some Bible versions (like The Message Bible) are made to get young teens (such as myself) and adults understand the Bible better.
