102 | Brand new out of date NASB? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 55044 | ||
I have Thompson (NKJV) and it is my favorite bible! The 95NAS is not available in the TCR bible, so if you want it in NAS, the 77 you have was your only option. I have a 77NAS Ryrie Study Bible and I have saw no reason to upgrade to the 95 version for the small changes I have seen. The TCR, to me, is a in-valuable Bible and I would not send it back, as I know of no equivalent substitute. retxar |

Great recommendation Hank! I have just recently purchased a Nelson King James Study Bible in genuine leather from www.bibleexplosion.com for only 25 bucks! They still have it on sale for that price thru August. I think it is a great study Bible and I'm not even Baptist! (Tho I have told people I was Bapticostal before!) retxar |

106 | God is in control of every single atom? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 62042 | ||
OK, maybe partaking of the Holy Spirit does not have to mean the same as the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as you say. I believe God can, and does, use the peace and joy unbelievers enjoy when they fellowship with Christians to draw them to Himself. However, this principle is a major stretch to apply to what Heb6 is talking about. Heb6 is speaking of true believers (whether hypothetical or actual). Otherwise how could a non-believer be renewed AGAIN unto repentance if no repentance has ever occurred? retxar |

107 | why do the NASB and KJV differ | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 62198 | ||
Almost all NASB and the KJV (also NKJV) differences occur in the NT. This is because, as Ed has pointed out, of the differences in the manuscripts they were translated from. Usually the differences are that the KJV has a longer verse ending here and there. Most here would say that this is a result of scrible additions in the manuscripts that the KJV was translated from. Some would say (as I would say) that the differences occur from scrible omissions in the manuscripts that the NASB is translated from. While the differences are slight, there are places where I, personally, have to make a decision of which Bible is God’s WORD, as He only wrote one Bible. I have posted before (post ID# 6847) as to why my conclusion goes against the norm here on the NASB forum (that’s OK, they love me anyway!). I usually go with the KJV and the NKJV when verses are called into question when compared to a different reading in the NASB. I have also discovered, since that post, that the early church fathers quotes will almost always quote the longer KJV verses, rather than the shorter NASB verses. This has strengthened my conclusion as being correct. The web site www.dtl.org is a good source of information that reflects my bible translation views (I take exception to some of the other views expressed there tho). The amazing thing to me is not the few differences in the thousands of thousands of manuscripts found in all parts of the world, but their supernatural agreement that prove that God has preserved His WORD thru His divine providence! retxar |

God actually did reject the Aprocypha as being uninspired. The Jews had already rejected the Aprocypha as uninspired before the birth of Jesus. Jesus never spoke of the Jews as being in error concerning its rejection. retxar |

Jesus’ And The Extent Of The Old Testament A statement by Jesus seemingly gives His belief in the extent of the Old Testament. Therefore I send you prophets, sages, and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly I tell you, all this will come upon this generation (Matthew 23:34-36). He mentions Abel and Zechariah as the first and last murder messengers of God that were murdered. Abel’s murder is mentioned in Genesis while Zechariah’s was in 2 Chronicles – the last Old Testament book in the Hebrew canonical order. The fact that these two are specifically mentioned is particularly significant. There other murders of God’s messengers recorded in the Apocrypha. Jesus does not mention them. This strongly suggests He did not consider the books of the Apocrypha as part of Old Testament Scripture as with the books from Genesis to 2 Chronicles. There Was More Testimony From Jesus Jesus gave further testimony of the extent of the Old Testament canon in the day of His resurrection. He said. How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! . . . And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself (Luke 24:25,27). Note Jesus’ emphasis on “all that the prophets had spoken.” Later He explained the extent of “all that the prophets had said.” He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” (Luke 24:44). This is a reference to the threefold division of the Hebrew Scripture. They constitute “all that the prophets said.” There is no reference to the Apocrypha. It would not have been part of the threefold division of the Old Testament. Complete article at http://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/nbi/395.html retxar |

The Thompson Chain-Reference by Kirkbride, as John has said is available in '77 NASB. AMG Publishers' Key Word study bible is also available in '77 NASB. I am not familiar with the Key Word bible but I have a Thompson's in NKJV and if I only had one bible, that would be it! The only NASB study bible I have is a 77 Ryrie. I like it and have saw no reason to upgrade to the 95 version. The Thee's and Thou's in the 77NASB are there to show reverence to the Lord when scripture addresses Deity. This is commendable, but the original purpose in Renaissance English (KJV) was to differentiate between 2nd person singular (thee/thou/thy) and second person plural (ye/you/your). Sometimes this can shed light on scripture that we would not otherwise know unless we were a Greek/Hebrew scholar. Example: Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you (all the disciples, not just Peter alone), that he may sift you (the disciples) as wheat: But I have prayed for thee (Peter in particular), that thy faith (Peter's faith) fail not: and when thou (Peter) art converted, strengthen thy brethren (Peter's brethren). See what I mean! Hey, I know this is more than you asked for, but it's all free here at www.studybibleforum.com! WELCOME ABOARD! retxar |

Ed, I guess what I said had nothing to do with the differences between the NASB and NASB-u. Sorry for the confusion. All I was trying to say, and show, was how thee's and thou's were originally used in Renaissance English. Thee's and thou's were not used as a reverent way to address the Lord, as in the '77 NASB. “Thee” and “thou” are singular forms of the pronouns “you” and “your”. In present day English “you” and “your” can be either singular or plural. In Renaissance English “you” and “your” were always plural and “thee and “thou” were always singular. I only gave the passage of Luke 22:31-32 as an example of how this can be a determining factor in knowing what a particular passage is saying. If we only have “you” and “your”, which can be either singular or plural, we have to guess where Jesus means Peter and where Jesus means all the disciples. If we have “thee” and “thou” as well as “you” and “your”, we can know when Jesus means Peter and when Jesus means disciples. I hope this clears things up a bit, and explains what I was trying to say! retxar |

Edb, Luke 22:31-32 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you (does "you" here mean Peter or the disciples?) like wheat; [32] but I have prayed for you (Peter or the disciples?), that your faith (Peter's faith or the disciple's faith?) may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." NASB-U Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you (you is plural so Jesus means the disciples), that he may sift you (the disciples) as wheat: [32] But I have prayed for thee (thee is singular so Jesus means Peter), that thy faith (thy is singular so Jesus means Peter's faith) fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. KJV I hope you now see what I am saying. But unless we are aware that there is a difference between you/your and thee/thou it does not make this passage or any other more clear. retxar |

Hank, I am no English expert, so teach me something here bro! You said that “thee” and “thou” can be used in the plural as well as in the singular. Does this also apply to the KJV? I can find plenty of verses in the KJV where both “thee” and “you” are used. It seems to me that in all cases that “thee” applies to one and “you” is used to show the places where God is talking to more than one or to show that what God is saying applies to more than one. Also, is the Greek/Hebrew different for thee/thou than it is for you/your? Here’s yet another example of what I see: 1Co 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. "Hand" is singular so the pronoun "thee" is used. "Feet" is plural so the pronoun "you is used. Thanks for your impute of wisdom!, retxar |

Well, if you be a know'n what you be a talking about, you got a heap more folk than myself to straighten out, including the sponsor of this bible study forum! Luke 22:31 Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that [all of] you be given up to him [out of the power and keeping of God], that he might sift [all of] you like grain, (AMP) Luk 22:31 "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to have all of you, to sift you like wheat. (NLT) Luk 22:31 "Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked permission to sift all of you like wheat, (ISV) Luk 22:31 "Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, (NAB) Luk 22:31 "Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, (NRSV) Luk 22:31 "Simon, Simon, I tell you that Satan has obtained permission to have all of you to sift as wheat is sifted. (WNT) retxar |

EdB, I like that Tim, he's a good dude! I think the reason the NKJV, NASB, and ESV are not more clear here is because they are all more of a word for word translation written in modern English, which simply does not have 2nd person pronouns that differentiate between singular and plural. Maybe adding words to clarity would go against the word for word translation principle. I primarily use the NKJV, which, of coarse, is written in modern English, which, of coarse, does not use thee’s and thou’s. However, if one knows how they are supposed to work, it would help in passages such as this and is a lot simpler solution than having to look up the Greek when the passage could read either way in modern English. retxar |

Thank’s Hank! It’s good to know that scholars as Tim and yourself have let me know that I’m not totally off track anyway! I only know hillbilly, not real English, and only a little Hebrew and a little Greek. The little Hebrew owns a shoe store and the little Greek owns a restaurant! later bro, retxar |

118 | Why does Abram call Lot brother | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 68171 | ||
The KJV thanslates brother as "brethren", which gives most people a better sense of "kin-folk" as CDBJ has correctly explained to you the meaning is here. I call people "bro" all the time, bro. I would never take someone seriously if they questioned me to explain as to why I thought they were my natural brother, so I think that it should be ovbious that whoever is demannding an answer from you on this is only trying to shut you down. If we try to answer all the scoffers questions that have such an obvious answer as this, we will have a long road ahead to try to answer all the petty things they can bring up. You are not obligated to do that. We should pray that God would always give us the gift of discernment when we feel we must answer a "scoffer" (Pro24:4). We are never obligated to answer "scoffers" who's only intent is to shut us down. Jesus gave us an example of this in Luke 20:2-8. Jesus always answered true seekers, as He did Thomas in John 20, but He always used discernment in answering scoffers. We need to pray for that same discernment. A good test to discern between a scoffer and a true seeker is to ask the question; "Is the answer to this question what is keeping you from coming to Jesus?" retxar |

James 2b-3 Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. My study of the bible tells me that God helps those that allow Him to help them. What have you read that supports the statement "God helps those that help themselves"? retxar |
