KJV is Superior

Rebuttal to NASV: When I said the NASV removes Matt 17:21, Matt 18:11, Matt 23:14, Mark 7:16, Mark 9:44,46, Mark 11:26,15:28, Luke 17:36, 23:17, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, 15:34, 24:7, 28:29, Romans 16:24, and Luke 24:40, I was SAYING that the NASV committee DOESN'T BELIEVE THEY BELONG IN THE TEXT. They put them in the text in PARENTHESIS AND TELL YOU IN THE FOOTNOTES IT DOESN'T REALLY BELONG. Don't believe me? OK, here's a link: http://www.biblegateway.com... Con said, "The New American Standard Bible translation team adhered to the literal philosophy of translation. This is the most exacting and demanding method of translation, and requires a word-for-word translation that is accurate and precise, yet easily readable." There are two main errors in this kind of logic: 1. There is no "original greek text" so how can you make a word-for-word translation? 2. Greek grammar is far different than English grammar. This means a word-for-word translation would make NO SENSE IN ENGLISH. For example, in English, a sentence might begin "Jesus said, or Jesus did," BUT IN GREEK you have to have definite articles before nouns. Thus, in Greek, it would read "The Jesus said" or "the Jesus did." This is not grammatically correct in English. Thus, the NASV is not a word-for-word translation because it would have a TON OF GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. Con said, "No initial translation work was ever done by a single individual working privately. The renderings were always the outgrowth of a pooling of ideas and input from a group of translators. Sometimes done by the entire translation committee and sometimes by a subcommittee thereof, the initial draft was then shipped to consultants in other areas, who were given several weeks to evaluate the translated portion. Their comments were then combined and the whole package submitted to the translation committee which at this point finalized the translation for that given portion. Though a constant refining of the text ensued, this, in essence, was the work that was eventually published." Yes, but so did the KJV committee. They all consulted each other's work as well. Con said, "The Fourfold Aim That Guides All of Our Translation Work 1.These publications shall be true to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. PROBLEM: There are no originals. 2. They shall be grammatically correct. Then its not a word-for-word translation as I showed above. 3. They shall be understandable. Ok, does this make it the Word of God, though? `1 Corinthians 2:14 says, "But the natural man RECEIVETH NOT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD... NEITHER CAN HE KNOW THEM." Its not meant to be understandable to the natural man. 4. They shall give the Lord Jesus Christ His proper place, the place which the Word gives Him; therefore, no work will ever be personalized." Is his proper place to remove the last half of his prayer to His father in Matthew 6:13? How about completely changing 1 John 5:7 so that Christ is no longer Deity? Con said, "Underlying the New American Standard Bible is the evangelical commitment of the translators: all of whom believe that the words of the original manuscripts of Scripture were given by God." They probably think 2 Timothy 3:16 is a reference to the original manuscripts. However I already refuted this in round 2. Does my opponent know that Rudolf Kittel was largely Anti-semitic? Does he know that Kittel's son, Gerhard Kittel, printed propaganda for Adolf Hitler? Does he know that Rudolph Kittel printed the ben Chayim text in 1909 and 1913 which underlies the KJV, BUT THEN switched to the corrupt ben Asher edition? Does he know the manuscript used was the Leningrad codex? This was copied in Cairo, Egypt. Need I remind him everything that's Biblically wrong with Egypt? The Greek text ORIGINALLY used for the NASV was Nestles 23rd edition. The 1995 revision was the 26th edition. The 23rd edition is based on the corrupt manuscripts Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. So we can see that the NASB is a CORRUPT TRANSLATION TO THE ORIGINAL TEXTS. After all, since there are no originals, what "original text" are you referring to?
