Bible Note: Ace Tech: Thank you for explaining in more detail the thinking that was behind your questions. I am sorry if I came on as being too harsh. I honestly didn't know -- had no way of knowing -- that you thought what you did. While it is true in a sense that the NASB is sort of a standard translation on the forum, it is by no means the default translation, seeing that many other translations are also quoted here, according to the preferences of those who post. No, the translators themselves are not actively involved in any way in the forum. I wish they were, for what a blessing it would be to have the insight of real Greek scholars, as opposed to Lone Ranger Internet Bible experts. Now that I understand where you are coming from, your apology is accepted, although not necessary. Please accept my apology for being impatient with your questions. I do not know how to redirect your question to the appropriate source. You could try emailing the Lockman Foundation directly. Or perhaps one or more persons on the forum would know how and where to contact them. If anyone here knows how to get ahold of the translators or someone else in authority, it would be greatly appreciated by the rest of us. Ace Tech, I am pleased to note your interest in Bible matters. Grace to you, kalos |
