Bible Note: Ray: I have known you long enough here on the Forum to know that you are okay. You have a (normally) harmless obssession with capitalization -- an obssession that the writers of scripture themselves never had. But I've come to accept that this is just part of who you are. But, if you're going to start casting doubt upon the reliability of the NASB or other translations, then you need to be very careful, lest you go too far. If a Bible translation has gone through revision(s) or update(s), is that to say that the meaning of certain verses has been reversed? To believe this is to believe a gross absurdity. Even the time-honored King James Version has gone through five major revisions. So what? None of those revisions dispute or refute the Deity of Christ, the doctrine of the Trinity, God's plan of salvation or anything else of significance. To make a blanket accusation that the translators have reversed the meaning of an earlier edition is to make a silly and unfounded assertion. I know you didn't use the word "reverse" in your question (about how many copyrights does your translation have). But, the implication is there. Nothing against you, Ray. In fact, according to the Word, I must esteem you better than myself (Php 2:3). And in lowliness of mind I do so esteem you. I do not say that you have done what I now speak of. I honestly do not mean you when I say: I am just sick and tired of everyone casting doubt on the reliability of the words of Jesus, the teachings and writings of the Apostles, the Genesis account of creation, the Word of God in general, those who devote their lives to the study of God's Word, God's intent in His past choices and acts, etc. This is not what StudyBibleForum is about. It is about honoring and obeying the written Word of God, not tearing it apart with unending questions and careless speculations. Let's all make an honest attempt to rightly divide the Word of God. Not to subject it to microscopic analysis and criticism, but to rightly divide (accurately handle) the Word of God. --JVH0212 |
