"Who are some of the different translators
and
the difference between them?"
1 Timothy 4:1-2
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that
in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience
seared with a hot iron.
Answer: The complete N.I.V. translators
can be obtained from the International Bible Society,
East Brunswick, N.J. 08816, but we will touch on a few
of the people and their beliefs in this answer. Dr.
Logsdon one of the translators on the N.A.S.B. has publically
apoligized for his part in corrupting God’s Word. Another
member of the committee, Dr. Virginia Mollenkott has
made a public disclosure of her homosexuality and her
Godess worship theology, use of tarot cards, and the
I Ching.
Then there is the work of B.F. Westcott
and FJ. A. Hort. Both of these men belonged to a club
called "The Ghostly Guild" and were involved in Spritism
(contact with the dead). They had the final word on
the translation’s of the N.I.V. and N.A.S.B., Westcotts
comment about the first three chapters in Genesis "No
one believes the first three chapters in Genesis gives
a literal history", Westocott on the Resurrection, "The
resurrection of Christ in only the church which is Christ’s
body", (No bodily resurrection). Westcott on judgement
– the wrath refers to unbelieving Israel Riplingers
New Age, Hort – Finite sin cannot deserve infinite punishment.
Hort – Hell is Figurative
Westcott – Hell is not the place of punishment
of the guilty
Jehovah Witness on the idea that the grave
is the end of the physical life.
A comparison of the changes made will help
you see the intended result.

God?
Why do we have so many different English translations?
What are some of the different translations and
the difference between them?

Is there a bigger plan behind the new translations?
Is the King James Version the only Bible?
