I thought some of you might get a laugh from this one. I got these from a King James Only friend (most KJV only will disfellowship with me but not this one). I couldn't help but laugh...enjoy

I've always heard the NIV referred to as the New International perVersion by the KJVO crowd.

I'd take the NIV over the KJV any day.

 

[RamistThomist]

Ha! That was good (I needed a laugh).

ESV or (this will reveal my liberalism) RSV.

ASV (always superior version) double-checked against my Darby (done all really better (than) you (could)). But KJV-only for certain passages like I Kings 21:21 for proper color.

HA! That IS a funny one.

In no particular order I like KJV, NKJV, NASB, ESV.

hmmm....RSV Reprobate Standard Version?

 

[puritan reformed]

I am kidding of course Jacob I do like my RSV with ESV being the one I use most.

RTS is taking over the Board!

I thought the Good News for Modern Man was the funniest!! I actually burst out laughing with that one.
Anyone here use or like the Ferrar Fenton? I like that for the old testament. I also enjoy the Worrell for NT.

Actually the cleverest of these was for my favorite translation, the ESV = Essentially Similar Version (to the RSV; also, playing on the "essentially literal" claim in the preface). ;-)

When I was stationed at Cherry Point, NC, we used to hear one preacher on the radio always blasting the NIV. He called it the New Inaccurate Version.

I thought that was pretty funny until I found out how many of my Christian friends thought so, too.

Years ago, when I was going more AV, I heard it described as the "Non-Intellectual Version." My ESV-toting friend I met in Baghdad (now in Alaska) still calls it the New International perVersion.
