Subject: Why is NAS better than KJV |
Bible Note: What info besides what I had already put would you like to see? For years, I used the Nasb study Bible. It got me through Bible school and Mission work. Later, I switched (for some forgotten reason) to NIV and enjoyed it. Though it is not as word for word as NASB, with a concordance, I have done great Bible Studies. I was following information of Greek teachers when I said the old ASB was more literal than the NASB. I am willing to be wrong, though. Have you looked at Young's literal? It was written in the 1800, so the language is old, but it still seems to follow the Hebrew and Greek better than either the old ASB or the NASB. I have stumbled across a couple of other literals, but haven't looked at them. Though I personally would not use the Living Bible, I see why some do. The point is that people are without excuse to read the Bible, just as you said. One site I saw had the KJV and the NASB, both with the Strong's numbers for each word next to the word. At the rate I have been studying the book of Genesis, I seem to need that. Intense studying of the Hebrew has led me to some unique insights on some of the stories. One just has to believe each and every word and try to put them together so every word makes sense. greentwiga |
