21 | Joshua or Jesus? | Heb 4:8 | roverjbh99 | 9393 | ||
Does this verse refer to Jesus or Joshua (The Son of Nun) giving people rest? I took my favorite translations (KJV, ASV, NRSV, WEB, NKJV, and NAS) and compared them. The results are below. And does inserting Joshua for Jesus and vice versa change the verse's meaning? JOSHUA JESUS ASV KJV [FN: Jesus: that is, Joshua] WEB NAS [FN: Gr Jesus] NRSV NKJV ASV: American Standard Version WEB: World English Bible (14 Jun 2001 update was used) NAS: New American Standard (95 Update was used) KJV: King James Version NRSV: New Revised Standard Version NKJV: New King James Version FN: Footnote Thanks for any help. This question has been tugging at me. |

23 | Why no gender-neutral language in NASB? | Not Specified | roverjbh99 | 8487 | ||
I love and cherish the NASB. I have always wondered, why didn't the translators use gender-neutral language in the 1995 update. Some scriptures refer both to men and women. The NAS, KJV, NIV, NIrV, RSV, dont accept this fact. The CEV, TEV (1992 update), NLT, and NRSV have. | ||||||

25 | Who wrote the letter to the Hebrews? | Hebrews | roverjbh99 | 8360 | ||
I have always belived that Timothy wrote Heb. Why? Because in some KJV Bibles there's a small note that says the book was written from Italy by TIMOTHY. Bruce Metzger and Henry Halley accept Pauline authorship; J. Vernon McGee lays out a defense of Pauline authorship. Only God knows. | ||||||

I hate to bust your bubble, but If you go to http://bible.crosswalk.com you can look up any scripture easely. You could also use software. I reccommend the Bible Search Utility or the Power Bible. | ||||||
32 | Why is the Apocrypha not included? | Bible general Archive 1 | roverjbh99 | 7263 | ||
A reason Protestants don't think the Apocrypha as scripture is that there is no agreement on HOW MANY books there are and were they should be placed. Let me explain. The *base* number of books in the Apocrypha ia 18. That number includes the books our Catholic Brothers and Sisters call Deuterocanonical. Those books are: Tobit Judith Additions to Esther Baruch Letter of Jeremiah 1 Maccabees 2 Maccabees Prayer of Azarah and Song of the Three Holy Children Bel and the Dragon Susanna Wisdom Sirach That makes 12 books. Add to that number six books Catholics do not accept. We'll call them *other* books. They are: 1 Esdras 2 Esdras Prayer of Manasseh 3 Maccabees 4 Maccabees Psalm 151 That gets us to our number of 18. Do all translations feature all 18 books? It depends. The King James Bible (KJB) has 14 out of 18 (The Letter of Jeremiah is Baruch 6.) The New English Bible (NEB) does it one better, having 15 out of 18 books. The official Catholic Bible, The New American Bible (NAB) , has 11 out of 18 books. (Azariah, Bel, and Susanna are placed in the book of Daniel itself). The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) has all 18 books. Now on to placement. In the NAB, the books of 1 and 2 Maccabees AFTER the book of Esther, while the Douay-Rheims places them after Malachi. What gives? For these reasons, and more, this is why I do not accept the Apocrypha as scripture. However, I do not rule out using them as morality buliders. I hope this helps. Joshua |

35 | When and where Moses put in the Nile? | Ex 2:5 | roverjbh99 | 7261 | ||
The scripture says: Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it. She opened it, and saw the child, and, behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children." (WEB) You can't conclude from that passage were Moses was dropped off at. Looking at a map of the mid-east and Africa will show that the Nile is a pretty long river. Moses could have been dropped anywhere in the Nile River area. As regards to the date, Henry Halley writes that it could have been 1200-1400 BCE. Hope this helps. Joshua |

36 | NAS like the NWT??? I HOPE NOT! | Bible general Archive 1 | roverjbh99 | 7168 | ||
Here's what the author said to the intro to the chart (These are his words not mine): All versions are not saying the same thing! Most Christians recognize the New World Translation (NWT - Jehovah's Witness Bible) for the corrupt work it is. What most Christians don't recognize is the same corruption in their own "Christian" bibles! The Verses the Chart uses are: Hos 11:12 Matt 9:13 Matt 18:11 Matt 19:17 Mark 10:24 Luke 2:33 Luke 4:4 Luke 4:8 John 6:47 John 10:30 Acts 2:20 Acts 8:37 Acts 23:9 Rom 13:9 Col 1:14 1 Tim 3:16 1 Tim 6:5 1 Pet 1:22 1 Jhn 4:3 Rev 4:14 Rev 20:9 Rev 21:24 The URL is: http://www.staggs.pair.com/kjbp/kjb-docs/vrstbl.html |

Aloha Brothers and Sisters! A while back, I read a chart that compared the AV, NAS, NIV, and the Jehovah Witnesses New World Translation. The author concluded that the NIV and NAS was more like the NWT. I like the NAS. I read this and it scared me. Is this true? Should I put down my NAS??? Thanks for your help. |

So far, I think the WEB/ASV97 is really good (in the NT, that is). As with the old ASV, some of the language is pretty old sounding. Until it's done, I won't make a comparsion to the NAS. | ||||||
