1 | Which version preference for Isa 48:14? | Is 48:12 | Makarios | 13790 | ||
Hello Ray! Yes, you most certainly can disagree with me and still be my friend! :) In fact, after our dialogue together, I believe that the NKJV is probably 'better suited' towards your taste in capitalization than the NASB. I like the NASB better because I feel that the NKJV is a little too "dogmatic" in issues of capitalization. I personally own 4 NKJVs and it is a good translation that I would recommend! :) In my family, I am the only one who predominantly uses the NASB. My father, a pastor for many years in the church, uses the NIV. I was brought up on the NIV and moved to the NASB. My "believing" cousins all use the NKJV. So I most certainly cannot complain! :) I also own 4 NASBs and 3 NIVs.. I recommend them all! --Nolan |

2 | Which version preference for Isa 48:14? | Is 48:12 | Ray | 13801 | ||
Hi Nolan, There is value in all the versions for people have different needs and are in various stages in their knowledge of spiritual things. However, you know that I like to honor Him and at this stage of my life I can hardly bear to read any version that doesn't capitalize Deity. You might even say I look at them with aversion. :) If I look at them I will have another capitalizing version to compare along with it. When you quoted the NIV earlier the words "The Lord loves him;" was absent but the words "chosen ally" was present. I would suppose that if you were a chosen ally that you would be loved, but that is an interesting difference between the versions. If you inadvertently left out those words let me know for I only have the NIV in the New Testament. The thought occured to me that just as the Christian religion is the only one with a Savior it probably is the only one that declares, "The Lord loves you." I believe the NIV translated "them" as "the idols", in other words other religions in Isa.48:14. The NIV agreed more with the NKJ for verse 15 and the lack of a capital He; as far as we can figure out anyway without any capitals on their part. As I've said, I treat their version with aversion. I have enjoyed our talks together. I am a preacher's kid also by the way. However, if I don't participate very much from now on it will be because I am spending too much time at this computer. I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the case with many of us, but it is enjoyable. Later, Ray |

Hello Ray! Yes, the NIV does not include "The Lord loves him" in Isaiah 48:14-15 like the NASB. It simply says, "The LORD's chosen ally.." Perhaps this would be a small victory for formal equivalence over dynamic equivalence in this verse. Yes, I agree my friend! Too much time at the computer is not good.. :) --Nolan |
