MikeParker: Let's talk.

==Problems with proposed text==
I read Mike S.'s placeholder text for this article, and I have some significant concerns about the direction it's going. ''To wit:''
:<font color="red">''No original manuscript of the New Testament has been found, so critics cannot prove that other versions or translations are correct.''</font>
This claim greatly oversimplifies the methodology of textual criticism. For example:
*Textual critics work by examining the readings supported by the ''oldest'' texts, a ''majority'' of texts, and the most ''geographically diverse'' texts. A single, very old text from a remote area (say, western Europe) would not be considered superior to a wide range of texts that were somewhat older but closer to the source (Asia Minor).
*Texts are grouped into [http://www.cob-net.org/compare.htm#texttype families]: Alexandrian, Western, Caesarean, and Byzantine. Although the Byzantine text-type makes up 94% of all Greek NT manuscripts, they are all very late, the earliest having been written about the 9th century A.D. Most modern translations favor the so-called Eclectic approach, using the Alexandrian text-type as its base and incorporating elements from the other traditions.
*All other things being equal, a ''more difficult'' reading is preferred to an easier reading, because scribes would be more likely to make changes that make difficult readings easier, not the other way around.
This just scratches the surface. To claim that "no original manuscripts exist, therefore we don't know how the originals read" ignores a vast amount of scholarly literature on the Biblical text that goes back hundreds of years.
:<font color="red">''Some modern translations are affected by the beliefs of the translators, who render certain passages differently depending on their theological biases. One example is {{b||Ezekiel|37|16}} which some translators (such in the NIV) translated the scripture adding the words "of wood".''</font>
Yes, this is true of ''any'' translation, but the King James Version is probably the biggest offender in this regard.

For example, the KJV translates {{s||Isaiah|26|19}}a, "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise," a clear allusion to the future resurrection of Jehovah/Jesus Christ. This is a thoroughly irresponsible rendering of the text, which actually reads "Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise" (NIV).

Likewise in {{s||Daniel|3|25}}b, which the KJV renders, "...and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." This translation was driven by the translators' theological bias to see a pre-mortal Jesus Christ in the fiery furnace with the three young men -- even though the person who said the words was a polytheistic Babylonian who didn't have any understanding of a "Son of God." The passage ''should'' read "son of the gods," as it does in every modern translation (including theologically conservative ones like the NIV and NET).
:<font color="red">''Using early manuscripts and discoveries is no good to prove that a Bible version is more accurate. {{b||John|7|53}}-{{b||John|8|1-11}} is not in the earliest manuscripts, but the text is considered as restored. A large number of early manuscripts and discoveries (like the rediscovered Gnostic Gospel of Judas) are in error. Even early manuscripts such as Codex Sinaiticus came from "copies of copies'' So in conclusion it cannot be intellectually disprove that inspired KJV translators restored some text the way they are suppose to be read (due to that there is multiple ways of translating a text).''</font>
There are a number of significant problems with this claim:
*The ''pericope adulterae'' does not appear in any NT manuscript until the 5th century, when it appears in the singular Codex Bezae (although one example of an early Christian writing has been discovered from the fourth century that quotes it). The evidence is overwhelming that it's a late addition to John, probably a popular story that circulated among Christians that was added by a well-meaning scribe.
*On what basis do you claim that the ''pericope'' is "restored"? Is there any revelation or scholarship indicating that the story was in the original gospel, then lost, then recovered?
*On what basis do you claim that the KJV translators were "inspired"?
Defending the ''pericope'' is not something we should try to do, especially when another FAIR wiki article (correctly) includes it in [[Textual_criticism#Examples_of_variant_readings|a list of suspect passages]].
:<font color="red">''We continue to use the KJV because of its linguistic similarity to the Book of Mormon and other LDS scriptures. (This needs evidence.)''</font>
:<font color="red">''Most of the Book of Mormon was translated in the English of the KJV Bible''</font>
:<font color="red">''There is nothing preventing Latter-day Saints from using other Bible translations in their personal study of the scriptures.''</font>
On these last three claims, I agree with you. And this is my point -- Latter-day Saints continue to use the KJV simply because of its strong linguistic ties to the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. There are no other reasons for continuing to use the KJV, and many, many reasons to discard it in favor of a more modern translation.

The King James Bible was based on corrupted and inferior manuscripts that in many cases do not accurately represent the meaning of the original text.

On 25 March 2007, ''XYZ Ministries'' distributed a ninety-minute DVD entitled ''TITLE'' to thousands of Utah homes.

It has excellent production values but, unfortunately, its contents are not of a similar quality. Though it purports to be an objective, "Christian" evaluation of the teachings, history, and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it contains very little that is original or balanced.

It contains the same tired anti-Mormon propaganda that misguided religionists have been repeating for years. All the issues it raises have been repeatedly addressed by faithful Latter-day Saints, but the video makes no effort to address the responses to their charges.

This page provides information that will help you compare the video's claims with the actual history, teachings, and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
