I currently have no sound, and I just haven't learned to lip read yet, so I have no idea what this is all about.

but we also have The Holy Apostolic Bible based on the KJV. :D

The MEV isn't based on the KJV, its based on the TR. Its a modern translation from the same Greek Text

Re: New MEV bible based on KJV!!!!
 

The video makes a lot of references to "being true to the King James" etc. so it makes it sound as if it is based on the original translation along with the Greek Text.

Here are a couple of reviews of MEV Bibles if you're interested:

I meant in the kjv tradition

Re: New MEV bible based on KJV!!!!
 

and the TR is not really the TR.
history shows that what we call the TR did not exist at all until after the KJV was created.

Yes I know I am hypocritical because I use the TR myself, but that does not mean I can not point out the truth. :D

The Living Bible is a modern translation based on the King James.

Went to check these out at the bookstore today. I did like the looks of the thinline. Would be nice to carry. I liked the way the paragraphs are arranged also. My problem was the print was just to small for me. Even with my glasses on I had to strain to read it.

The guy on the phone had told me they also had the large print version. They did not. I was disappointed because I thought it might be just what I needed.

But I noticed a large print personal size Holman NKJV with a leather touch cover. I know that Holman makes good Bibles so I picked it up and it felt good and looked good. The print was very nice much more readable to my eyes than the MEV.

It was tagged at$19. I thought what a deal this is! When I got to the register they rang it up at $14! I couldn't believe it! As far as bang for the buck this might be the best I have scored.

That doesn't make sense. If the KJV was not translated from the TR, what was it translated from?

Textus Receptus (Latin: "received text") is the name given to the succession of printed Greek texts of the New Testament which constituted the translation base for the original German Luther Bible, the translation of the New Testament into English by William Tyndale, the King James Version, the Spanish Reina-Valera translation and most other Reformation-era New Testament translations throughout Western and Central Europe. The series originated with the first printed Greek New Testament, published in 1516 – a work undertaken in Basel by the Dutch Catholic scholar and humanist Desiderius Erasmus. Although based mainly on late manuscripts of the Byzantine text-type, Erasmus' edition differed markedly from the classic form of that text, and included some missing parts back translated from the Latin Vulgate.

That predates the KJV
