What is THE BEST Bible translation? | Sam Shamoun

In this powerful session, Christian apologist Sam Shamoun dives deep into the topic of Bible versions and translations, explaining why the King James Version (KJV) and the Douay-Rheims Bible stand out as the two most faithful and spiritually rich English translations. He exposes how modern Bible versions often lose key linguistic and theological nuances present in Elizabethan English, especially the pronoun distinctions like “thou” and “ye” that clarify whether a passage is addressing one person or many. Sam also discusses the Legacy Standard Bible, the New King James Version, and the historical controversy behind the Revised Standard Version and the Westcott and Hort Greek text, showing how textual criticism has influenced modern translations. Sam reminds believers that reading Scripture is an act of worship, not merely an academic pursuit, and that God has miraculously preserved His Word through centuries of transmission — even amid human corruption and manipulation. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction: Are some Bible versions better than others? 1:00 Why Sam rejects being called a “scholar” 2:00 The two best English Bibles: Douay-Rheims & King James 3:00 Why Elizabethan English matters for accuracy 5:30 Example: “Thou” vs “Ye” — how pronouns reveal meaning 8:30 The problem with modern Bible translations 11:00 The Legacy Standard Bible and the divine name “Yahweh” 13:00 The history behind the Revised Standard Version controversy 15:00 Westcott & Hort’s critical text and its lasting influence 18:30 Has God preserved His Word through the centuries? 20:00 Final recommendation: Which Bible should you read? 💬 Did this help you understand which Bible translations are most faithful to the originals?
