1 | How can I view an entire thread? | Not Specified | HolyT | 153820 | ||
Is there any way to view an entire thread at the same time, instead of having to click on and view each note one at a time? (No help available from the site.) Thank you and sorry for the technical question that is not directly related to the Bible! | ||||||

There is an interesting story behind "Holy"--some other time if you are curious. Example 1: Moody Press (Ryrie Study Bible), Matt 6:26--"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor DO THEY reap nor gather into barns,..." World Publishing ("Slimline"), Matt 6:26--"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns,..." (also BibleGateway.com) Example 2: Moody, Prov 11:3b--But the FALSENESS of the treacherous will destroy them. World, Prov 11:3b--But the CROOKEDNESS of the treacherous will destroy them. (also BibleGateway.com) There are many more like this. All 3 sources are absolutely explicit in saying that they are the 1995 NASB version. I have a suspicion: My Ryrie Study Bible somehow let an earlier NASB slip in there in a few places. But, I don't know if that makes sense. And/or, it is just plain shoddily edited and produced--I have found other errors. What a poor testimony! |

4 | NASB 1995 pub. errors; Holy; my concern | Bible general Archive 2 | HolyT | 153743 | ||
Thanks Ray. I am not concerned at all that differences in "1995 NASB"'s affect doctrinal issues, much less salvation issues. If I were, I would be going nuts regarding actual different versions, and I am not. I am comfortable reading and studying different versions. I am confident that most of the well-known versions out there have been faithfully translated and more or less give accurate translations of the original autographs, and clearly communicate everything necessary for all major (and almost all minor) doctrinal issues. I realize that different versions have different purposes (e.g. readability vs. precision; English usage) and different opinions on textual sources (e.g. older vs. more numerous manuscripts). I also realize that, based on what we know of the original autographs and languages, the overall accuracy of the sources we have is pretty near 98-99 percent plus (hey, I just realized that this forum does not allow the percentage sign or the plus sign--now that is an odd restriction). The root of my concern is that I have memorized tons of verses from my Ryrie Study Bible (published by Moody), and I would just like to know that I am memorizing something consistent. I'd like to be able to hand someone my Slimline Bible and say, "Check me on Second Timothy." Or maybe I'd like to work on Scripture memory with someone who also likes the 1995 NASB, and we could check each other (with no reference) and be sure we are checking the same thing. I'm tempted to go back and re-memorize the verses that are "wrong" in my study Bible, but before I do that I need to be certain that I have a totally accurate source for the 1995 NASB. So I'm still wondering what's going on with my study Bible, and where I can find a source that I can truly trust. I'll check the profile section to see if there's a logical place for the story about "Holy." I try to use Holy as a login on sites like this but of course Holy is taken early on at a Christian site! Years before I became a Christian, I was doing a month of training and familiarization (exposure to "the Fleet") at an F-14 Tomcat squadron. At the time, I was a midshipman at the U. S. Naval Academy. Everyone "had" to have a callsign there, and since my last name sounds like "Toledo," I was dubbed "Holy." When I became a Navy pilot myself, I did not fly tactical aircraft, so I never used my callsign as a "real" callsign in the air. Nonetheless, when I was in flight training, I had my helmet bag embroidered with my name, my callsign "Holy," and an insignia that I had previously earned. Years later, after I became a Christian, I had my bag embroidered again, this time with new insignia I had earned, plus a Christian fish, plus the reference “Ephesians 1:4.” That verse says, “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be HOLY and blameless before Him,….” So, when I got the callsign, it was nothing to me except clever wordplay. But later I found out that God had determined to place me in Christ and call me “Holy” before the foundation of the world. So I really was “Holy” all along; I just didn’t know it until God actually drew me to Christ! Now, people assume that the callsign has something to do with “religion” before I get to tell them the story. |

6 | View entire THREAD; still need answer | Bible general Archive 2 | HolyT | 153933 | ||
Lionheart, Thank you for your reply. I think you may not be understanding what I am trying to do. I am looking for a way, if one exists, to view all the messages in the same THREAD at the same time: e.g. initial question--answer--answer--answer--another question--answer--note--etc. But you are absolutely correct that I can view multiple notes/questions/answers that have the same content (keywords or search terms) at the same time simply by using the basic search function. |

7 | Any way to campaign for change? | Bible general Archive 2 | HolyT | 153940 | ||
That is what I suspected. Thank you for confirming that. I wonder why this forum is not as user-friendly as most forums which allow you to view things so much more easily and quickly. I know it's a longshot, but is there any way to campaign to whoever runs the site for a change to a more conventional and easy-to-use format? | ||||||
8 | Answer from Lockman Foundation | Bible general Archive 2 | HolyT | 154288 | ||
Here is the answer I received from the Lockman Foundation: ----------- To answer your question, the Ryrie Study Bible was the first release of the NASB Updated Edition, and a small degree of fine tuning did occur between the Ryrie and the subsequent releases of the Update. The first Ryrie Study Bible featuring the 1995 NASB Update is very close to subsequent releases of NASB Updated Editions. Rest assured, the NASB was not extensively updated after the Ryrie Edition and so did not require any sort of special announcement as to this. As always, the NASB remains the most literally accurate Bible in the English language. It may be same case, (a timing issue) with the passages at biblegateway.com. We will look into it. As stated above the translators and editors are always fine tuning the NASB in new print runs. ----------- (I'm posting this as a question so it gets a little visibility but no real need for an anwswer unless there's something to add.) |

9 | NASB 1995 pub. errors; Holy; my concern | Bible general Archive 2 | HolyT | 218350 | ||
Thanks to everyone for the answers. Some time in about 2007, I checked all my memory verses for differences between the Ryrie version and the final 1995 NASB and re-memorized the ones that changed. It was only about 2-3 percent of all the verses I knew. | ||||||
