1 | To wine, or not to wine? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 69437 | ||
EdB: I have cone to the conclusion that being educated in a christian school does not make one spiritual. Being a pastor does not mean one knows how to pray. Being tolerant does not bring peace, or assure tranquility. Inclusiveness does not include me. Diversivity assures divisions. Enlightenment often clouds up the issues. Definations are what they mean to you, as you want them to mean. For example; I have learned never believe anyone who says " read my lips, no new Taxes!" or "I never had sexual relations with that woman!" Never underestamate the power of a prayer. God has the ability to hear, and move in my behalf regardless if it is just me alone praying, or have a hundred Christians praying for me. My prayers to be in His direct will are always inHis will! That brad, has been a a difficult lesson for me to discover. I have by experience recently learned not to waste my spiritual energy in someone who only is interested in draining my reserve of spiritual strength. Knowing who is really in genuine need of spiritual insight and who is just a devisive person is hard for me to know. By the way what do you like about the ESV? justme |

Hi justme I used NASB for 20 years and NKJV for 9. When ESV came out I received one for Christmas and have used it since. I think the translators did a great job with the text, and I applaud them for not being bound by the verse numbers. There is more than one place where the phrases of a sentence were moved to a preceding or following verse so that the whole sentence read more naturally. Steve |

Steve: Merry Christmass! Thank you for the information. Would you mind telling me who publishers this version, and is it a word for word or thought for thought? Who were its sponsers? After this previewing the TNIV, I am more cautious than ever before. Thanks a lot. justme |

Hello justme It's published by Crossway. Go to http://www.gnpcb.org/home/esv/ and follow the links. There's a very solid, Bible-believing group behind this translation. It's basically word-for-word with some adjustments for language differences. Steve |
