Hank: I've found a Bible version that is even poorer than the New World Translation. It is largely based on speculation. Few verses in this translation mean the same as they do in the KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, etc. A high percentage of it is translated by people who are proficient in neither Hebrew, Greek nor English. Many of the translators never use an English, Hebrew or Greek dictionary nor any other reference book. This version is not internally consistent, to say the least. In fact, most of the verses in it have alternate renderings that are widely divergent from and contradictory to each other. One could say that every passage is the choice of the majority, since the vast minority refuse to have anything to do with it, even though all of them are members of the same organization. Fortunately, the translators have never been together in the same room. If they had there would have been numerous fistfights. This is one of those rare books that costs exactly what it is worth, which is nothing. Can you guess what version this might be? kalos |

Hank: What translation is even poorer than the NWT? What translation fits the description I have given? The answer is: The StudyBibleForum Electronic Bible, which falls somewhere between paraphrase and the Twilight Zone. It's like a free thinking, free wheeling, free-of-fact commentary with an occasional verse of the real Bible in its unlimited margin. Call it an ever growing "waste repository". --kalos |

kalos: I fear there is painful truth in your assessment, and such a pity too, in spite of the efforts of the Foundation and the few users who have labored long and faithfully to make the Forum measure up at least to minimal standards for accuracy and reliability. The caveat to new and unseasoned Christians and other seekers must remain: Check, check, double check what you read here. Observe and compare the material contained herein with the teaching of Scripture. Sometimes I despair at the seemingly insoluble paradox this Forum presents to me. It is an excellent site to vent one's opinions, although that's far from its purpose. But it is a poor site to learn reliable scriptural exegesis, although that is its purpose. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: Thanks for explaining the purpose of this forum. I thought it was to see how many christians could be both confounded and offened in one place at one time. I must say I felt BibleStudyForum was winning the prise. Whats that you say? Learn scriptural exegesis....hummmmm once upon a time in a land far far away, before anything was acceptable, and restricted post were allowed to go on and on and on...... God Bless You for hanging in there Brother. I am sure you are still a help to many and know that the Lord has a crown laid up for you. God Bless |
