1 | Good-bye, NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | Makarios | 32996 | ||
Steve, I disagree with you, and I am at odds with you on this issue. It is obvious that both the NIVI and the TNIV are both "gender-inclusive", using inclusive language within their text. There is little difference between them, and you are wrong in your definition of the NIVI and in describing "inclusive language." Go to http://www.cbmw.org/ to get a listing of all of the mistranslated passages in the TNIV. Only one who does not know English would not know that the words "He", "man", or "him" in certain instances have a universal meaning. And a literal translation will reflect this, not seek to change it! I cannot see supporting Zondervan or the IBS in any way as being a reputable service, since they have reversed their plans 180 degrees from what they had promised us before. And our host has many more publishers than just Zondervan! - Makarios |

2 | Good-bye, NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | Hank | 32999 | ||
Makarios, I've said it before and I'll say it again: If IBS and the publishers don't honor their own word not to publish a gender-neutral Bible, how can we be sure they are honoring God's word in their translation of it? --Hank | ||||||
3 | Good-bye, NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | Makarios | 33001 | ||
I most certainly agree, Hank! :-) As I've said before: If they are so convinced that their NIV is incurably flawed (only after 24 years of its inception and becoming the bestselling Bible on the market) then who are we to argue with them? Thats enough persuasion for me to realize that they are publishing both NIVs at the same time only for monetary gain, and to never contribute to their organization again by boycotting their translations and study materials. In all honesty, my top two Bibles, the NASB and the ESV, are both produced by not-for-profit organizations, and I rejoice in that fact, having faith in both of those translation committees that their intentions were in the right place! As you well know, my friend, it is not just you and I who feel this way, but 20 well-distinguished Biblical scholars have also put their names to petition and have stated that they simply cannot endorse the TNIV (http://www.baptistpress.com). And they only waited 2 days after the Announcement by IBS and Zondervan to sign that petition! :-) That is what I call "quick action", and I am thankful that we have those scholars to speak for the church in protecting God's Word, in which He will preserve forever! Blessings to you my friend, Makarios |
