Bible Note: Excellent post Hank, my friend, excellent post! What you have said is very true! And I have taken upon these considerations as well. I have been through this quandary of choosing which translation many times, and I have settled on the NASB as my version of choice! I almost will not buy a Bible unless it has this version, if I intend to use the Bible at all.. I am at peace and comfortable with the NASB and it has most certainly earned my respect! Blessings to you and thank you for writing the single best post of the day! Nolan |
