Which Bible is easiest to understand?
For many people, the New Living Translation (NLT) is the easiest version of the Bible to read because it uses normal modern English. It is an accurate thought-for-thought translation of the original languages of the Bible and is widely accepted.
Is NIV or NLT better?
If you’re an English reader the NLT is probably the more readable, but the NIV gives a closer idea of the underlying text. If you make a wonderful and fresh doctrinal discovery in the NLT then check it against the NIV, NRSV, commentaries, or, if you have the skills, against the original languages.
Is NLT a good Bible?
It has a ton of good information, and checks every box of a good Study Bible. I think it is a great Bible for those at the early to mid-point in their Walk with Christ. The NLT is a very casual “thought for thought” translation that lends itself to easy reading and the study notes are a PERFECT match for this purpose.
Is the NLT Bible reliable?
The New Living Translation is an accurate and legitimate translation from the Hebrew and Greek. The confusion, however, is understandable, since the NLT began as a revision to the 1971 paraphrase by Kenneth Taylor, the Living Bible. However, the final product grew into much more than a revision.
What’s the difference between KJV and NLT?
The KJV had 80 books whereas the NKJV had 14 books removed and tbus shortened to only 66 books. The NLT is simply someone’s attempt to rewrite the Bible to read more like book narrative. It maintains the shortened 66 book organization that has been around almost 200 years.
Can anything be added to the Bible?
No more book are added, because about 200 AD the then ‘church’ decided that they had to put a stop to all the gospels that were being written. They chose 4 they liked best to make the new testament, and said that that make the bible complete, and no more could be added.
What does it mean to add or take away from the Bible?
Interpreting is ‘explaining’ what a verse is saying, making it clearer to understand it. To add or subtract would be to actually taking a verse, and changing the words so as to add their own words; taking words out and deleting them; and changing and twisitng the entire context of the true meaning.
What is the very first word in the Bible?
John 1:1 is the first verse in the opening chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. In the Douay–Rheims, King James, Revised Standard, New International, and other versions of the Bible, the verse reads: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
