Well, that's referring to the Old Testament, though. The dead sea scrolls confirmed that our Old Testament was reliable. Eclectic text versions of the Bible pull from more sources for the New Testament.

Guys, please speak in normal way. Reserve that for the minichat.
I do not understand it.

I would pretty much avoid any translation that uses the term "Jehovah" as a transliteration of YHWH.
It shows that they are going with what is "common" or "tradition" as opposed to correct so one wonders where else they have "cut corners".

But I always refer to it when I need to get to the bottom of things (so-to-speak).
Careful with literal translations because they simply don't exist.
What we ALWAYS have are interpretations of literal translations since a word CAN mean more than one thing ( especially Hebrew and Aramaic).

I find the KJV hard to understand many a time.
I am Jewish, however, I am Christian. That said, in my opinion the BEST translation is the JPS Tanakh for English speakers. For myself, I use the Rabbinic bibles which are all written in Hebrew.

Welcome Shayla.
Great to have a Jewish Christian here, or is that just a more authentic Jew who sees the truth in their own teachings?
Hopefully we'll get to hear more about your story.

I'm really taking a liking to my Dake reference KJV bible since my grandfather gave to me recently if I would put bible tabs in his Dake reference bible.I was watching Perry Stone recently and he said it was his go to study bible.
Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

I think the easiest to understand is The Open Bible Translation. It was the first one I used when I started reading and I still think it's the best. Try it I think you'll love it like I do. Just my humble option.
I've found that the NKJ and older NIV are good -- the NIV is in paragraph form which tends to be more reader-friendly. The important thing is to Read it.
Being Messianic I would have to say the Complete Jewish Bible by David H. Stern, or the Messianic Family Bible and you might check out AENT New Testament by Andrew Gabriel Roth.
