Here is a cool article on how the bible has been translated and re-written throughout the centuries.

The first bible was written some one-thousand three hundred (1380) years after Jesus's death and the re-worked numerous times after that.

Well my Friend I went to your site, and I will confess many here will see have no issue with it, I don't find it overly troubling, I've seen far worse, but while I'm aware of the story lines, the information selectively omits PILES of History, and your either ALL right, or ALL wrong.
If I were insecure in my leanings I guess one of the ways I could avoid thinking about them, would be to avoid thinking about them.
Not bad share, none the less.
"You Can't MAKE this stuff up."
They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.

Stick to the 1611 King James Version. And maybe use the 1537 Matthews Bible(Tyndale mostly) as a companion to it.
Proverbs 29:2, "...when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
Matthew 28:20, "...I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Excellent Post... Thanks to everyone for sharing the information.
There are several ways of translating anything, including the Bible. The first is literal or (almost) word-for-word. This can be seen in the KJV & NASB. The next is dynamic equivalence, which is thought-for-thought. The NIV, NEB, & NKJV(?) are of this type. The third is a paraphrase, with the Living Bible, & Phillip's Translation as examples. There is also the strict-literal-word-for-word of the Interlinear Bibles, and what Bible scholars call "lousy" translations such as the New World translation. (Sorry, JWs, but that's what they consider it. Although they use fancier words than "lousy.")
An example could be:
Original: “Las horas de la manana han de oro en sus bocas.”
Interlinear: “The hours of the [morning, tomorrow] have of [gold,I-pray] in their mouths.”
Literal: “The hours of the morning have gold in their mouths.”
Dynamic: “Hard work will make you rich.”
Paraphrase: “The early bird catches the worm.”
HTH,

Hello!
I am going to tread lightly here, since this is my first time on this message board, but I feel that I must speak up about about the NIV.
There are many changed words in that "Bible" that do not line up with the original translation. For example: In Isaiah 14:12, the NIV refers to, what would normally be the name Lucifer, as the "morning star". This name was also used to refer to Jesus. According to this verse, the "morning star fell from grace". And we all know that Jesus did not fall from grace.
Also, the NIV refers to homosexuals as "shrine prostitutes". This is clearly biased--and for good reason, as, apparently, one of the NIV's authors, Virginia Mollencott, is a radical feminist and lesbian.
I know there were others, but I'm afraid I can't pull them off the top of my head right now. (Still asleep. )
Thank you all and God bless,
