Subject: Is the NWT more reliable than the NASB? |
Bible Note: First, you are incorrect in stating Russell ever claimed to know Greek or Hebrew. You need to make a closer investigation of such. Again, as I corrected myself twice already regarding, it is the NAB, not the NASB. Please do not quote me such poor scholarship as that of the late Walter Martin. You can note his poor scholarship by simply making a careful read of what he states: Martin: "he could not translate Genesis 2:4 from the Hebrew." However, this is quite the opposite of what was requested of Franz. "Q:Can you, yourself, translate that into Hebrew?" He was not asked to translate something from Hebrew, but into Hebrew. Something that one Hebrew professor has gone so far as to claim that few who teach Hebrew could even do. So the Hebrew teacher at Biola was asked to do the opposite of Franz, so of course it was of no difficulty. Finally, I will again state this: I am here to discuss translation. However, I do not want to be quoted websites if you personally have no idea whether or not the information is even remotely accurate. For example, again, the site that mentioned the translations of ginwskw at John 17:3 The authory clearly did not even have a basic handle on the Greek language, and therefore had no business stating what he did. If somebody cares to discuss something however, I will be more than happy to. |
