Subject: What is the most accurate version? |
Bible Note: Justme Absolutely but we can't say the NASB is more accurate than say the NKJV and be totally correct. Since it is not possible to do an exact word for word translation, we can't say this literal translation is more accurate than this translation. We can say it is very literal and we prefer it over another, but to claim it more accurate is nothing more than opinion or a sales pitch. The reason I included the NLT is your right they are a more D. E. translation but in some cases the words or the phrase they used better translate the actual meaning than another. I use the NLT almost as a commentary, if I have a passage that is hard to comprehend I will read it in the NLT. Many times the NLT paints a very accurate picture of the idea the writer was trying to express. The reason I did not include the NIV higher is I have a distaste for Zondervan and their betrayal of the Christian community by publishing and promoting their attempt at polictical correctness in their gender neutral TNIV. To me any Christian that loves Jesus should totally boycott Zondervan. I know I have. EdB |
