    I love the Interlinear, only sort of a translation, if I had to go with a third bible type outside of Interlinear it would be ESV.

    Where are some of the better translations though, as you seem to have all dynamic ones only listed here?

    That makes perfect sense, as you are using the translation that would be tied to your software tools.

    The ones I listed are the better ones. And, again, you show your ignorance of these translations. You probably don't own any of them, and have accessed passages from them on-line. You are good at making hollow assertions with no facts to support them. Permit me to off a few examples. I'll be quoting Robert Thomas L. Thomas from his book How To Choose A Bible Version. Regarding the NJB : "It is almost literal enough to earn a place among the formal-equivalence translations." (p.153). Re the MLB : "Overall, it belongs in the literal translation range." (p. 154).

    Goodspeed's An American Translation, Norlie's New Testament, and Weymouth's New Testament are what would be known as mediating translations today. The NET translation also occupies that ground. The REB would be about the same category as the NJB I mentioned earlier.

    The CEB I would also put in the mediating slot. It's more liberal than the NLT theologically. I trust the NLT more, but I don't think the CEB can be classified with it.

    Before you make pronouncements, why don't you do your homework on things you have scant knowledge of?

    That's not KJVO, that's KJVP

    THOSE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS WERE MADE BY MAMMON WORSHIPERS WHILE WORSHIPING THE DEVIL!

    IF YOU READ NIV or NLT you are LEADING YOUR SOUL TO HELL!!!!!!

    The above is how KJVO reacts on this forum.

    Even those who aren't KJVO act like this on the Forum. And you're making fun of robycop3?

    He's not even half as bad as many, many others on this forum.

    So you do not own and use the better translations, the more formal ones?

    I wasn't making fun of him, as was jesting with him, based upon his "comment" regarding Robycop3!

    Better does not = formally equivalent. But I do own a KJV, 1977 NASB, and the ESV.

    I use the Mounce Interlinear for Greek. I'm still looking for a Hebrew Interlinear, I'm open to recommendations.

    Steven... I would send a PM to John of Japan, he's the expert on Ancient Languages here... This is what his profile says... Prof. of Ancient Languages and Bible... Now getting hold of him is another thing... But I do believe he is the source... Anyone know anyone else?... Brother Glen:)
