1 | Twisted Scripture, what do we do? | John 17:3 | BradK | 161059 | ||
Hi justme, Good to hear from you, my friend! As you may recall, I bought the TNIV a couple of years ago simply to have as a resource. It has its' good and bad points as the NIV- of which I'm not a big fan. There are some passages that I think are fine! Others that are gender-neutral I have a particular issue with. Zondervan would call it marketing, I would call it "dumbing-down" scripture. We're trying to make it too easy to understand and in doing so, much of the original emphasis and distinctions are being lost! For what it's worth, I've noticed very few -if any- copies of the TNIV on the Christian bookstore shelves here in the Seattle area. That's my 2-cents worth:-) BradK |

BradK: In Central Missouri the Lemstone Christian Bookstore has about 30 that remain on the shelves, and for about a little less than a year. I do like when the TNIV uses Brothers and Sisters in place of Brethern. However there are over 3,600 tines when the word which is masculin they have changed it to neutral. Examples are Gen. 1:23 and Psalm 1:1. Those are the verses you can take a quick glance and get a pretty good idea if it's a agenda version, at least for me anyway. Interesting to me is that I bought an ESV yesterday. I have read some of my fovorite passages and Psalm 139 is one of them. The ESV has made some verses so wordy it almost gets so detailes it looses me in the point they were making. I guess I am still a NASB user and will proberly stick wit the NASB as my primary Bible. Thanks for your response, and blessings to you. justme |

Hello justme, I've been using ESV since it came out in 2001. The translators befuddle me in some places, but I still use it as my primary translation. Steve |
