Featured Which Bible Translation Should I use?

You know I don't see anyone (well other than maybe KJVO folks) being anti NIV.
Anti the current changed version perhaps but not against the NIV as a whole.

 

Never heard of any of those folks. My ideas come from the verses I see posted. I copy them and then compare them with the KJV, old NIV and ESV. So far the new NIV is not standing up very well.

 

Not just in this thread and i do not post them since I do not have the new NIV.
I have looked at the verse I see others post from the new NIV and compare.
I have not been happy in my findings. Therefore i will stand with my old NIV, KJV and ESV.

 

exactly! many of us herre actually kept using the 1984 niv, just finding the Niv 2011 "hard to stomach!"

 

trying to over think too fast a problem!
Mind faster then fingers!

 

Most in my congregation have switched. One it's what I use and they have actually said without any prompting, that they like having brothers and sisters in the text. I think your perception that most rejected the 2011 is way off base. In fact the sales figures back that up. Lots of heat not much light.

 

again, my comment was that those holding to it being inferior to the 1984 edition were of conservative churches, and think among them, the Esv/KJV/NKJV/NASB will continue to be bible of choice!

 

Are they good scholars, and know what they are talking about though, even IF they happen to disagree with you?
Are ALL who are against the Niv 2011 lemmings, ignorant, slanderers, or what?

he seems to be a bit more than a "hack", wouldn't you say?

And are you saying ANY against the Niv 2011 cannot be any real scholars, must be hacks/ignorant/uninformed etc?

The Bayle brothers seem to be Presbyterian Church in America pastors , so assuming they received their training/education from a reputable seminary, why would they also be 'hacks?"

 

they were revisiing the Niv to be able to be read and understand by a generation affected by the "dumbing down" process, correct?

 

Come on man your not going to the we're not as smart now as we were then argument are you?

 

again, the Niv team in their revision "hopped" on the TNIV 2005, with its concession to modern views of evangelical feminism regarding "male bias" from the culture of the times coloring just how the texts have been transalted! they wanted to 'remidy/correct" that situation, but in their desire to improve the version, actually made it worse!

And do you honestly think that ONLY reasons Christians in conservative circles have been against it is die to promoting the Esv, or else being unlearned, no scholarship?
