Subject: Introducing the English Standard Version |
Bible Note: Ed: I don't think I could ever depart for my KJV as my main bible. Once I tried memorizing from the NASB....The merization ended up being in the same verse half NASB and half KJV it sounded kinda funny. I use the NASB for pretty much to study prophecy out of the old testament. But as for anything out of the New Testament is strickly KJV. I know most of the errors in the new testament that the king james holds so it doesn't hurt my studying to much. But the NASB the way the tenses are used I can't get use to for example: Matt. 24:22 "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. I looked at that verse for almost 2 hours one day trying to figure it out because it had no * with it to show the tenses were changed. Then I gave in to the KJV and read exactly the way it was worded: Matt. 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then that cleared that verse up for me. But over all NASB I find reliable some places more reliable than the KJV. But I am set in my ways, love my KJV it flows nicely easy to memorize and poetic :) God Bless you, Darcy |
