>>18054470That's kind of nuts. Now that I'm looking into it, I see that NKJV has a copyright that cannot be enforced in the US and has passed into the public domain- HOWEVER in Britain it is under some crown copyright BS.
>>18054470My DRV bible is public domain
>>18054531Is that one the official word of God?

>>18054805>Majority TextSo a guy compiled Greek manuscripts to make money except it was hundreds of years ago. No difference.
>>18054845Sorry I'm a committed Greco-Roman polytheist, disciple to Apollo, knowing son of Jupiter. Blessings.
>>18054852Based, Apollo is the Logos, all things were made through him
>>18054852Apollo 16 took the Book of Mormon to the moon

>>18054849It's not technically pure majority but the point is that it's not copyrighted on principle
>>18054905God expects you to pick one of the translations on that website
yeah the primary motivation for new translations is not increased accuracy or scholastic fidelity, but rather profit from issuing a new patent and royalties from book salesto get a patent through, it has to be substantially different than other translationsthis creates an incentive to deviate from the source material, and it's why you see so many "dumbed down" colloquial language lowest common denominator translations aimed at people with a sixth grade reading level (that's actually kind of a glaze tbqh)anyways, most people are functionally illiterate, can't even distinguish between the definitions of "jealousy" and "envy" for exampleseriously, look it up; "respected" dictionary publishing companies actually list envy as a synonym of jealousy because the English language has degraded so much your average normie thinks they're different words for the same thingblame the public education system I guess, which is a model that treats students as if they were assembly line products and trains them primarily for compliance and to be good little wagies
>>18054941God works in mysterious ways
>>18054470You can go into a Roman Catholic or Latter Day Saint building and hear the word of God preached any day of the week, as long as it's a Sunday.
>>18055036Through which Bible?
>>18055102Best is https://restorationbookstore.org/collections/scriptures-sold-individually/products/90129001But few receive it.
>>18055106Only $45.00 and God's Word can be yours today!
>>18054470This is true and publishers commission their own translations so they have control of the rights to make money from it. That said, some of those publishers clearly do care about making their Bibles accessible, Crossway for example provides their ESV translation for free online and in an app, and they publish cheap 'outreach' and 'economy' Bibles for like $5 which churches often order in bulk so they have hand them out for free. Considering the amount of content in ths Bible that's not bad.
>>18055148Your good for nothing god should zap it into everyone's brains like he did the 10 commandments in stone. This is total bullshit and shows that it's completely man-made, there is no god behind any of it.
>>18055138If you want onion-film thin pages you can get a cheaper one from elsewhereOtherwise you can also buy 4pt. font unreadable trash
>>18055148Copyrightholders have a profit motive to get their hooks into as many readers' hands as possible, for brand name recognition.>>18055271Holy Ghost can affirm the scriptures if you are true.
>>18056777blessed trips.
>>18054470Enjoy Hell.
Idiotic take. The NIV, ESV, and NASB, are intellectual property because they are human translations and editorial work, not the original inspired texts themselves.
>>18054470Ah yes I have picrel, very nice bible.
>>18057045The originals don't exist anymore you moron
>>18057045No it's because they were written in the last 50 years and haven't entered public domain yet, also every version of the Bible not in Hebrew, Koine Greek or Aramaic is a human translation/editorial work (and those are human languages to begin with)
