1 | How inspired is the NAS Bible today? | Bible general Archive 1 | Reformer Joe | 15403 | ||
I say that all Scripture is divinely superintended by the Holy Spirit in all of the original manuscripts (option #2, but including all of the Psalms and the Pentateuch). My question for you: Why do you select the NASB as inspired? What about the the King James Version? What about the NKJV? What about the NIV and the NRSV and the NLT? They differ in their translations (although not in any essential way, I admit). And then, what about the New World Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses? Are all of them inspired? If not, how do you determine which one(s)? Also, why would God divinely inspire so many translations of His Word in the second half of the 20th century alone? Seems like that would be overkill on his part. Thanks! --Joe! |

Dear Joe, When it comes to the idea that present day versions are still inspired by God, there are a couple of obvious questions that come up. You address one very well. Are all of the versions inspired, and if not how can you tell them apart. I think that discussing the relative authority of different versions would be best suited by a seperate thread. But I would generally include major versions (ie. KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, etc.) translated by groups (thus excluding individual efforts like "The Message", which are not intended to be translations) of Christian scholars (thus eliminating the Mormon, Jehovah?s Witness, and other cult versions). |
