Featured Which Bible Translation Should I use?

And you are hopping on the same old lies you have utterfed before despite my quotes of Doug Moo,which you have not botherted to comment upon.

Sometime you will actually say something that will make sense;but that time has not yet arrived.

I have gone over this ground time and time again with you. Do you ever absorb information or must you ask the same old questions which have been answered over and over again?

 

You tell me. I have told you often enough. You are treading old ground.

 

I have posted this several times to remind the Y-man of his obligations to tell the truth. He has yet to respond.

 

You have never responded to the words of Dr. Moo. And of course you have never offered a scintilla of proof for the support of your two glaring falsehoods.

I know that your English needs to be revised;that's for sure.

The NASB and another MV. What is the "other MV"? The NASBU is very conservative. It is a bit behind the times. The ESV leaves it in the dust sometimes in that area.

 

Please answer my post number 71.

 

This needs to be repeated.

 

This too needs to be sounded forth for the hard-of-hearing.

 

From the same book E.Roy Clendenen who represents the Holman Christian Standard Bible says the following:

"Another problem with 'literal' is that sometimes people try to make a distinction between a 'translation' and an 'interpretation.' They want a version that just translates the Bible rather than interpreting it, and they think that is what a literal translation does. But this is a false dichotomy. There is no such think as a translation that does not interpret. The first step in translation is to understand the text to be translated. The second step is to render that text in the new language in such a way the reader will understand what the text means. That is interpretation." (118)

And Clendenen raises some excellent points on pages 119,120.:

"From the beginning Christainity was a translated faith...all we have of his [Jesus'] words are in Greek --the common Greek understood by the most people...carrying the Christian message across cultures has always involved translating the Scriptures into the languages of those cultures,not forcing the people to learn Greek,Hebrew,and aramaic. And what should and does cause readers to stop and ponder is the profoundness of the message,not the difficulty of the language...Our job as Christians is to understand and teach...not to lay verbal land mines to slow people down...Translating the Bible into the common language of the people,an essential element of the Protestant Reformation,was intended to overthrow the clergy's monopoly on the Bible and make it possible for common people to be nourished by it."
