As for your point #1, I would better say "it's the church's version of record."
As for your point #2, he on more than one occasion has stated while preaching, "the NAS better renders this passage, xxx yyy zzz."

Guess this means Van actually would be under "anything but KJV" person! -
Note the avoidance of the issue?
Y1 rather than addressing the position, questions my character and qualifications. Thus he uses a logical fallacy. To support his position? Nope. He has no dog in this fight, he prefers the NASB. No, he simply disparages those do not agree with his false theology.
Did we learn whether the beloved church Pastor goes to the NASB when teaching the TR corrupt passages in the KJV? Nope.
Show me a KJVP advocate that rejects the TR corruptions, and I will agree that person is not a cloaked KJVO advocate. But are there any? I suspect the answer is no. :) If so then that is evidence the movement is going underground. -

Taking a page from the British Prime Minister's Wednesday Question Time:
I refer my right honorable colleauge to my answer to his point # 2 in post #81.
IOW, he doesn't get on the translation hobby horse.

Point 2 avoids answering the question.

No, it doesn't. It means when the NASB has a better rendering he goes with the NASB. It also means he doesn't go out of his way to disparage the KJV. He has more important battles to fight than the version battle. The version battle is not being fought in San Franciso like it is in other locales.

Think of it as a mission field. It is home to aggressively evangelistic pagans. Then, it's folks with mindsets like yours who over the years have not come to or stayed in the City to do battle with them.

If William Carey, Adoniram Judson, or Hudson Taylor had that kind of attitude, they'd have never gone to India, Burma, or China.

Making an unfounded assumption eh? IIRC, when he preached through the book of 1 John (known locally as 101 messages on 1 John), he went with the NASB. Initially, you weren't specific in your question. So, I gave a general answer.

Please, let me expand on my "version of record" comment.
By version of record, I do not use the term to mean:
- it is considered the best version or
- there are not better or more accurate translations of a given passage.
- it is the version English-speaking people think of when Scripture is read aloud. This goes to the reason men like John Burgeon included the lectionaries of the Greek Orthodox Church in their search for evidence of a given textual reading.
- it is the benchmark version to which other translations are compared. IOW, is a particular version worse, just as good as, or better than the KJV?
