2 | satan and angels cast out? | Is 14:14 | roverjbh99 | 56760 | ||
Isaiah 14:12-14 is your best bet. It says (Quotes are from RSV): "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High.' |

It's been a long while since I posted. Since then, I have moved from Hawaii to Virginia. When I have posted, I have been a stauch NRSV user. Now, after lying to myself so long (over language towards gender), I have dropped the NRSV and have gone to the RSV. Since that, I have felt better and liberated. Now on to the questions: Recently nine Miners were pulled from a shaft alive. I praise God for that. I am wondering, why did God let those nine miners live but let 3,000 plus people perish on 11 Sept 01? Second question: Is the Universal Life Church scripurial? Thanks Everyone! |

8 | where does peter say | Matt 16:28 | roverjbh99 | 46386 | ||
You are refering to 2 Pt 1:16-18: 16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased," 18 we heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. --- Unless otherwise stated, all scripture quotations are from the Revised Standard Version, Copyright (c) 1946, 1952, 1973 by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America. |

9 | BEST COMMENTARY ON REVELATION? | Revelation | roverjbh99 | 26080 | ||
I read J Vernon McGee's commentaries a few years ago. They were great! | ||||||
10 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | roverjbh99 | 25142 | ||
I use many translations, including the NRSV, NAS, NKJV, AMP, and RSV. When a reading is not clear, I use the WEB, KJV, NET, ASV, and the ALT. I generally favor the more "critical" translations, because I clearly believe the TR/M-Text has many doubtful passages such as Mark 16:9-20, 1 John 5:7-8, John 7:53-8:11, etc. If are concidering a translation, I recommend the NRSV. It's clear and its based on the best MSS we have and clearly have and marks the doubtful passages I listed above. It also uses inclusive language for humaninity and NOT for the Godhead. |

Recently I turned 21 and got a copy of the Today's English Version 2 (TEV2), 1992 edition. (I had gotten the 1976 edition [TEV1] a few years back.) This version of the TEV was produced under the imprint of the GodSpeaks billboard campaign. What's your view on the TEV? I find it to a fresh rendering of God's Word. I helps balence out some of the literal renderings of the KJV, NRSV, and their kin. | ||||||

14 | NRSV vs. NASB | Bible general Archive 1 | roverjbh99 | 12408 | ||
The NRSV and NAS are simlar, yet different. They come from the same tree. Let me explain. In 1525, William Tyndale came out with his NT. It served as an inspiration to other translations that came out between 1525 and 1611 such as the Bishop's, Great, Matthew's, Coverdale, Geneva, etc. The greatest of these Tyndale clones was the Authorized Version. For 500 years, it was the default bible. By the 1880's-1890's, people realized English had changed and some wished to correct errors in the AV. In 1881 the Revised Version (RV) was released. The OT followed in 1885 and the Apocrypha in 1895. Honoring an agreement that for 14 years no new edition would appear, the Standard American Edition, Revised Version (SAERV) was published in 1901. It was part of a deal that the British translators would put American suggestions in an appendix while the American would publish no new edition for 14 years. It's more commonly known as the American Standard Version (ASV). In 1928, the copyright to the ASV was aquired by the International Council of Religious Education of the National Council of Churches. In 1937 the revision was authorized. In 1946 the Revised Standard Version NT was released (It was revised in 1971). The OT was released in 1952 and the Apocrypha in 1957 (It was expanded in 1977). A Catholic edition was released in 1965. In 1974 a revision was authorized, and the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) came out in 1989. The New American Standard arose to promote awareness of the ASV. It's a word for word literal translation that came out in 1963 and the whole bible in 1971. An update came out in 1995 which mostly modifed the language. This short answer describes the roots of the NAS anf NRSV. I generaly perfer the NRSV because it is easy to read and to understand, is based on the best texts we have, and pinpoints the variants that exist. The NAS does all of thes things but is less readable in the 1977 edition. The NRSV uses gender neutral language. This is only used for humans and not the godhead. Look at John 12:32 in the ASV: And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. Look at the same verse in the NRSV: And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself. See how the the message of this verse shines through? You would not see this message using a gender-specific translation. The NAS and NRSV are equal, but different. Overall, I prefer the NRSV. |

20 | What was the "discharge" Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | roverjbh99 | 9436 | ||
Hank, Many Apologies for my hasty reply. The figure 18 is based on including three books neither Protestants nor Catholics accept as Apocrypha. Those books are 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees, and Psalm 151. Taking away those three, you get your original number of 15. So, both are correct. Joshua |
