HAVE YOU EVER STARTED WATCHING A VIDEO, thinking, "I will
just watch a few minutes to see if this video is worth
watching" and then found yourself unable to stop?
That happened to me when I began watching this video from Mike
Winger, discussing Bible Translations and other writings
pretending to be Bible translations.
This man is knowledgeable, is not biased toward any one translation, is a great speaker, and has a personality that leaves you wanting to learn more, whose only goal is to help you understand what each has to offer.
Have you ever encountered a church fellowship which declares, "We are KING JAMES ONLY and all other translations are from Satan!" Yes, those do exist and I just wish such fellowships well and a fond goodbye.
I am sharing this blog on my eNewsletter, Facebook, and Bill & Dory Gray Christian Ministries Blog Site - because I personally believe there is a lot of good information to be found in this video, and many of my Friends may subscribe to one and not the other. This way I reach more Friends with what I consider important information.
So get a cup of coffee, or tea, sit back, relax, and most likely you will learn how to choose which Bible translation is best for your need today. And you will get a few tips on which are "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" of Bible translations, paraphrases, i.e., more commentary than translation, and which are so far out in left field, they are best avoided.

CAN I TRUST BIBLE TRANSLATIONS ~ EVIDENCE FOR THE BIBLE, Part 17
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! - Evidence For The Bible
Mike Winger, Learn To Think Biblically - Nov 11, 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCPoKIE5y1U
Specific Subjects / Translations discussed in this video:
About Bible Translations In General (this is important info), KJV, NKJV, RSV, NRSV, NASB, ESV, HCSB, NIV & 2011 NIV, THE LIVING BIBLE, NLT, THE MESSAGE, NEW WORLD TRANSLATIONS, NIRV, ISV, NABRE, NJB, NET BIBLE, Conclusion.
Is it a conspiracy? Do translations intentionally change the Bible's message? Is the NIV a "gay Bible"? Is it the "Not Inspired Version"?
There has been a lot of false information floating around about how the Bible has been translated. Many people are confused about the difference between Textual Sources and Translational Methodology. Many are under the false impression that newer translations are "taking out" various passages that belong in the Bible.
However, there are some genuinely bad translations. This video is an attempt to bring clarity and rationality to the discussion and leave you with a general understanding of Bible translations.
