Bible Question:
OUTRAGE AND DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!! There is much to be admired in the NASB, but I can see that even in your latest revision, you have left 1 John 5:7 out of the text. I know your reasons - but I also know why it should be left in (not the least of which ia a matter of grammar). AND I see that you INCLUDED that verse in your new SpaNish translation - ??????? HUH? WHY is 1 John 5:7 good for the Spanish but not good for the English?? LISTEN!.... myself and a million others are waiting for someone to present us with an IMPROVEMENT (but not a butcher job or unwarranted change change)over the 1769KJV - and whoever would do that would sell millions. What is it with you folks that you cannot see that 1 John 5:7 and Romans 8:1b etc. ought to be LEFT INTACT in their places? FOR THIS ONE REASON ALONE (your EXclusion of 1 John 5:7 (and etc.), I cannot recommend or give away your NASB. IF you ever get around to producing a Bible that does not have verses removed from the text, I am right here and ready to buy. I BUY AND SEND BIBLES to Kenya.... those folks could use a more modern English than the 1769KJV (the NKJV is also corrupted and I know where) - but I have not found it yet. EXAMPLE: "falling away can and should be replaced with "apostasy" and "let" should be replaced with "hinder/restrain" - but we do not need to have 1 John 5:7 (a MOST crucial verse for The Trinity and the practical equality between God The Son and God The Word) removed!!!! PLEASE fix this problem right now and issue us a Bible in modern, literal English, that has all the text that's in the KJV. PLEASE???????????? |
Bible Answer: Is the KJV the Bible of the Apostle Paul? Are we back to the absurd view that the KJV is the Bible of Paul and the apostles? Many people, such as the KJV-Only advocates, are scared to death that someone might get hold of a so-called corrupt Bible translation that will somehow deceive them into committing apostasy or heresy. The inspiration of the Bible, the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the incarnation, the atonement, God's plan of salvation, the Second Coming of Christ, etc. can be proven using the KJV, NKJV, NIV, ASV, RSV, NASB, or any number of other translations. The idea that the same passage in one version will be translated to have an opposite meaning in another verison is pure nonsense. I see no need for people to become hysterical in their fierce opposition to this translation or their fanatical defense of that translation. Moreover, the differences in the wording of various translations is due more to the aim of the translators (to produce a word-for-word or thought-for thought translation) than to differences in the underlying Greek texts, which are minor. --Radioman2 |
