I've watched the fight between King James Version (KJV) supporters and New International Version (NIV) supporters. And I think, "What an empty, meaningless fight."
I mean, we all believe in the omnipotence of God.
So why can't we accept the fact that God is more than capable of speaking to us through the scripture, whatever the translation is?
This saddens my heart greatly. Blind fanaticism based on mere translation, for crying out loud.
Please, let us stop debating, fighting trivial things like translations. Translations are performed by humans, and as humans are imperfect, it is impossible to have a perfect translation that can sufficiently capture God's infinite wisdom.
Let us, instead, enjoy God's gift of inspiration to the translators. God had inspired them with different translation styles, which suits our different preferences. Enjoy His words, and glorify his name.
