If I do word searches, I use the BYU Citation Index, then cross-reference to a better Bible.Shawn Henry wrote: ↑March 28th, 2023, 12:45 pm The problem with anything other than the KJV is that you eliminate the option of doing key word searches. The KJV matches the BoM and the D&C.
If you do not seriously "feast upon the words", then continue searching beyond the KJV.
If you have not yet experienced the connection between the KJV and the words from the Savior himself in the D&C using key word searches you are missing out.
If it's not the question of whether the translators have any Christian faith to begin with, there are also issues with what they are pushing, which phrases and verses are missing etc.
The usual excuse is based on supposed manuscript evidence but some researchers have found that not only do some translations render the same word very differently in different locations when it treads on modern sensibilities (especially regarding homosexuality), but that the omissions based on supposed manuscript evidence are not always justified.
They all claim to contain the latest scholarship. Sadly most universities are very hostile to genuine Christianity now.
