The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Modern Bibles

I'm acquainted with Malcolm Watts' critique and find it rather sad. This KJV-onlyism is another rending of the body of Christ. It would be quite possible to do a similar critique of the KJV, but what would be the point? Let those who love the KJV use it and be happy.

If the NKJV really is not satisfactory, then let us have a better modern-language translation of the TR, and who better to do the job than the TBS? But speaking personally, there is no way in the world that I'm going back to the KJV as my Bible of choice; when I preach from it, I find that I have to explain the language before I can expound it, and for private use I find it deadening.
