1 | Good-bye, NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | Hank | 33010 | ||
Wak, if you really want to find out some facts instead of relying on publisher's hype, go to baptistpress.com and read the article regarding the 26 scholars who have signed a protest against the claim to accuracy by the IBS. Regarding the "big dollars," your assumption that the organzation behind this publication is not for profit is wrong. HarperCollins, the parent company, purchased Zondervan some time ago and it is most decidedly a profit-oriented company. If you assume that the publisher has the best interests of the Bible and all its users as its primary goal, you are thinking as they would have you think. My advice: Stop assuming and start searching for the truth. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Good-bye, NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | stjones | 33067 | ||
Hank; I suspect that Wak was making the point that the IBS (which I believe is not-for-profit) has earned a measure of trust after almost 200 years. You have to throw out an awfully big baby with the TNIV bathwater. This is the same old "appeal to authority (other than Scripture)" argument that we see so often on this forum. The TNIV isn't all that important to me. But if it were, I would read it to see what I could glean from it. I don't plan to start letting "experts" do my thinking for me. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Thats an excellent suggestion, Steve! You should read both the TNIV and NIVI for yourself! Then, perhaps you can tell us your point of view. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Hello, Makarios; I honestly have no interest in the NIVI; I'm perfectly willing to accept that it is the abomination folks think it is. I did download and read parts of the TNIV NT. I also visited some of the sites that are critical of it. You may have noticed that I have reserved judgment on the TNIV (other than pointing out that it disappoints the feminists by letting God pick his own gender). When it becomes available in print, I will probably buy the NT. (The more than 300 pages in the download would be the death of my old laser printer.) I will read it and think about it and decide for myself. I do think Zondervan and the IBS deserve a thoughtful evaluation of the entire product. They certainly have earned that - not the hysteria, attacks on the integrity of the translators and editors, and appeal to authority arguments that have characterized this thread. And it won't bother me at all to hand over 15 or 20 dollars to the Evil Empire (Zondervan/HarperCollins). ;-) Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
