"Best translation" is a subjective opinion. I can't argue with what you think is "best."mormonman said:We do not consider the Bible apostate, but we consider the churches that use the Bible to be apostate. The translators, for the most part were inspired of God. The idiots that took many of the " plain and precious" parts of the Bible away, obviously weren't inspired of God. It is, sort of, the same way we view Martan Luther. Is the Luthern Chuch right? No, but we still feel he was inspired of God to break away from the Catholic Church, because it esablished greater religious freedom. The KJV along w/ the Joseph Smith Translation is the best translation of the Bible on the Earth.
"Most accurate translation" is an objective statement of fact. But then, you didn't say the KJV and JS version were "most accurate." As a point ot fact, the NRSV is currently the most accurate translation available.
I'm sure that the KJV and JS version are the "best translations" for your puposes, if that's what your leaders say. But that doesn't make them the "most accurate."
