Greetings Justme! Thank you! I am thankful to the Lord for giving me an opportunity to share at this Forum, and to help other hearts become ablaze with such a zeal for Christ! I have a job (and, in effect, help keep Social Security going for some of my elders here at the Forum) where people do not come close to giving me the same type of "respect" that I have been able to garner here amongst my Christian brothers and sisters at the Forum. I do enjoy my job, nonetheless! Although I am not as well embraced at the workplace (or at any other place) like I am here at this Forum, I do not let it hinder me, and I look at myself as a leader of the youth movement! It is my pleasure to help contribute towards lowering the average 'age median' here at the Forum, even though this Forum could use at least one more middle aged, well spoken individual who seems to have taken up solitude, even though he remains well thought of as one of the 'true' pioneers of this Forum. I sorely miss the presence of Kalos and the wealth of his experience! And I am very grateful for the chance to dwell and study Scripture with such studious, spiritual and learned elders that this Forum can provide! "Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe." 1 Timothy 4:12 I could walk away from this Forum today and have no regrets in how the Lord has used me, although I would sorely miss the fellowship! Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios: I want to thank you for helping those of us who are receiving Social Security. I don't believe to my recall that I ever had anyone thank me in all MY working years for having to pay into Social Security. I consider me, in my mind to be about fourty. I am sure some might think I look older than dirt. I assure you I was not there for the Civil War, regardless of what you may of read! Should anyone drop out of the Forum that is a loss of fellowship for all concerned. May I say with genuine heart felt expression, I RESPECT you! I strongly believe respect is earned. Whit over 4,000 entries in the Forum I have learned a lot about you. You have earned my respect! (please sent the check ASAP. I hope I said it the way you wanted.) I noticed you Bible of choice is the NASB. (wise choice) do you use the updated NASB? I use NASB and the NIV side by side. Sometimes the NASB uses such wonderful words to express God's Word. Like is Psalm 139.3 The NASB says " You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways." Is this not such a touching special way to say this in English? I love it! justme |

Greetings Justme! Thank you, and you most certainly said everything to my liking, my friend! :-) I appreciate your support, and I wouldn't believe that you were old at all, since you write with such a zeal for God in your posts! Thank you! Yes, the NASB is my favorite, my Bible version of choice. My next, or second favorite is the English Standard Version. I use the Updated NASB (1995) for the bulk of my study, research and Bible memorization. I also use the NKJV, the NIV, the Holman Christian Standard New Testament and the RSV from time to time. I mostly use those translations. Yes, I agree, the NASB is an excellent version, and Psalm 139:3 is a great example of why I like it so much! However, I also believe that there are certain translations to "stay away from." But I am getting away from the subject, my friend! Blessings to you, Makarios |

Nolan, I'm dusting off this old post because I just bought an ESV and am liking it. I began memorizing in the KJV about a year ago but fell away from that and into the NASB, where there are many great things happening, but not always musically enough to induce me to memorize from it, especially in the poetical chapters. Now comes the ESV, and if I hold these two up to the light of the Psalms or Songs, the NASB comes in second. The ESV sounds more fluid, lyrical, economical, which is why I haven't yet wanted to commit any NASB Psalms or songs to memory. On the other hand, I've not yet decided to memorize in the ESV either; it's too new, and many of it's syntactical innovations (1 Cor 10.13, for ex.) are a bit jarring to my ear. I'd like to pick one version and stick to it, as an old hand bible scholar friend once advised, and that version is slowly becoming the NASB, if I could just get past the weakness in question. How do you feel about ESV V. NASB Psalms, Songs? Are you tilting towards the ESV, or are you stil an ardent NASB man? Do you still memorize in it? Poetry and all? If not, why? Colin. |
