Have you ever wondered how the Bible's words can vary so much between translations? On today's episode of Unfiltered Christian, Cece and Shay take you on a personal journey through their favorite Bible translations. Cece opens up about her deep-rooted connection with the King James Version (KJV) and New King James Version (NKJV), sharing how prayer and fasting enrich her spiritual understanding of these texts. She reveals how she uses the NKJV to clarify specific words while staying true to the traditional authenticity of the KJV. Shay discusses her preference for the New Living Translation (NLT), noting its accessibility and readability, especially crucial given her dyslexia and visual impairment.
Our discussion transitions into how we navigate and interpret different Bible versions. We dive into the changes noticed in the Our Father prayer at the Church of England and reflect on how these modifications affect our spiritual journeys. The episode revisits the familiarity of the KJV from our childhoods and the practical challenges of transitioning to modern translations like the NKJV and NLT. We emphasize the significance of returning to physical Bibles amid the convenience of technological aids and the importance of setting aside intentional time for scripture study amidst the numerous versions available today.
To wrap up, we compare the Ten Commandments across the KJV and NLT, exploring how variations in wording influence our understanding. We delve into specific passages from Exodus 20, discussing how different translations present the commandments and what personal preferences come into play when studying these texts. Our conversation concludes with a heartfelt prayer, inviting listeners to join us in gratitude and reflection. We ask for guidance from the Holy Spirit to help us better understand and value scripture, emphasizing the importance of the Ten Commandments in our spiritual lives. Join us for this enriching episode, and let’s journey together through the profound world of Bible translations.
