Bible Note: Dear Eagle One, Thanks for putting me on too the Net Bible. I have been spending the past 2 hours familiarizing myself with it. I particularly like the footnotes and the outlines. As for the translation itself, in the brief time I've had to examine it, I see no glaring differences between it and my NKJV. However, the language itself is not as pleasing to me as the New King James. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but the majesty and beauty of God's Word is very important to me. For instance: (NET) Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He takes me to lush pastures, He leads me to refreshing water. He restores my strength. He leads me down the right paths for the sake of his reputation. Even when I must walk through a dark ravine, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff keep me calm. You prepare a feast before me in plain sight of my enemies. You refresh my head with oil; my cup is full of wine. Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the Lord's palace for the rest of my life. (KJV) Psa 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. I said my personal Bible is the NKJV, but I have used the KJV for Psa. 23. I consider the NKJV to be closer to the Original text, and thats the one I use for study. But, for sheer magnificence of Language give me the KJV. What say ye? Brother John PS you would have had no problem at all on my boat. It was the USS Monmouth County LST 1032, an old WWII amphib. We also had a great deal of respect for those "squids" in the Brown Water Navy. Our job was to keep them supplied. I read a book written by a christian brother, Dave Rievers (I'm not certain of the spelling of his name), that left me praising God for His mercy and providance towards me. One other thing: If you don't mind, I know your handle,but whats your first name? |
