Here are some techniques when You are time traveling with God and  choosing your Scripture translations!

1. Why not try and refer to freer translations?

Freer translations are the polar opposite of the literal translations. The goal of this translation is to convey the original meaning and weight and meaning of the Scriptures as much as possible, but at the expense of having to use a different literary and language style.

It is very possible to miss out on a lot of the original meaning regarding freer translations, but at the very least you are guaranteed the accurate meaning of the Scripture text.

2. You try and read more than one translation of the Scriptures

No matter which way you put it, the translator’s own theological perspective and biases would no doubt show in the text he’s working on, leading to reading some of the meanings out of context or misunderstanding of the Scriptures.  This is the exact reason why you should always keep at least two different translations of the Scriptures on hand, for consultation  and to inquire of God whenever you feel like the Scriptures are not adding up or making sense. One translation is though-for-thought while the other leans towards being more literal.

3. However beware of some literal translations

A literal translation of the Scriptures takes a little bit longer to read because of some of the awkward wordings and phrases that tend to pop up from time to time as a result of the literal translation. So private readers and Scripture students, you must always be careful about using these reading aids, even though they can be helpful at times.
