I had a couple of Mormon missionaries stop by my house several years ago. They were pleasant and I enjoyed talking to them.

The one thing we disagreed on was the accuracy of the Bible. We all agreed that it was true as far as it was accurately translated. Where we disagreed was that I think most standard versions are very good translations while they do not.

I will say my Grandfather was a Southern Baptist preacher and a graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louiville, KY. He graduated in the early 1900’s.

Granddady could read and translate both Greek and Latin. He once told me the King James version was a very good translation with no real inaccuracies. A few places where it could have been done better but not affecting the basic story.

Some of the newer ones such as Good News Bible are even better.

Doh! There you go, disparaging the Bible! You heathen! :-)
