Bad translation.

>>18480801
The fuck is with the posts today talking about buying their first books and having the bible in the picture? This is like the 3rd thread I've seen now, is this a meme?

Why do you always fall for this? Go for Douay Rheims.

It's the English version that's most commonly referenced across modern history and the most saturated in modern culture, but there are definitely more accurate, faithful, and accessible translations. Of course, at the end of the day, the best Bible is the one you actually read and engage with.

>>18481482
If you speak English, you have to read the KJV you filthy fucking LARPing special snowflake retards.

>>18480948
>>18481482
Explain why! Immediately!

>>18481579
Because Luther that fat fuck decided to throw out whole books.

>>18481598
Luther: famous author of the King James Bible.
Anyway, just read the books that are missing alongside it.

>>18481607
Okay, Martin. Stop being a fat fuck.

>>18481482
>read a translation of a translation
No.
>>18481573
>>18481579
That said, while the KJV is THE English Bible and all Anglophones must read it, it isn't very good for in depth study, the RSV (not the NRSV) is a good choice for that.

The doctor of your church was literally obese.

>>18481624
Why do prottycucks hate order so much? Why are they against tradition?

>>18481630
I'm an Anglo-Catholic, the KJV is a tradition.

>>18481649
Not an old one.

>yes I am a Chad how could you tell

>>18480801
To all the LARPing zoomers shitting on the KJV, keep this in mind: the authors of it know more about Christianity than you ever will. You would be brought to tears if you tried to debate them. Be humble in your recommendations. You aren't CUMGENIUS, you cannot get way with being this arrogant.

>>18481655
It is part of an older continuity. By the way, can you name a single passage where the translation goes against Catholic doctrine?

>>18481667
It's an obvious issue, you pill-pulling dog.

>>18481674
What is an obvious issue?

>>18481630
>autistic about textual criticism and scholarship
>have a deep appreciation for my culture's central literary work
>I must hate order and tradition!

>>18480987
No shit who else would actually buy Sam’s book

>>18481681
Throwing books out and being protestant.

>>18481695
Why shouldn't those books have been removed?

>>18481707
Are you kidding?

>>18481695
>>18481707
The KJV and Luther didn't remove any of the books.

>>18481707
The KJV includes the Deuterocanon, cheapskate printers removed them, not the translators.

>>18481714
A better question: what books are we talking about? Name them.

>>18480801
i'm so jealous anon
