It's not the Greek text that produces a viable and accurate translation, but the translation method and the translator's skill. At any rate, the Shinkaiyaku, done from the principles of the NASB but with the NT from Nestle's, is the one most used by the evangelicals of Japan. The new missionary...

My view is that Satan hates Bible translation, and the main way he affects it is by trying to stop it. A faithful missionary did a translation of a NT in the language of a people group in India. He took it to the Bible Society of India to get it checked. Since he did the translation without...

Agreed.

The first Japanese NT was translated by Baptist missionary Nathan Brown in 1871, long before the first Nestle's Greek NT, and was probably based on Tischendorf's Greek NT, near as I can tell. The cover said, "From the oldest existing Greek manuscripts." The NT of the "Original Translation" was...

Segal is expert in Aikido, but that is at the very bottom of the list of supposed deadly martial arts. He adds stuff to it and soups it up with movie techniques to make it look deadly, but it's not. There's a famous anecdote in which Segal challenged Gene Lebell, old school judo expert, and MMA...

Yesterday there was a church shooting in Lexington, Kentucky, where two ladies from the Richmond Baptist Church were shot dead, and their husbands were wounded, apparently in the church basement. Then the shooter was shot dead by police. Here's a link...

You mean Brazilian jujutsu (BJJ), not kick-boxing. There is no special "Brazilian Kickboxing" that I know of. BJJ is mainly for competition: submission matches and MMA. Other than that, falling down on the ground when you are attacked? Not bad against one opponent when there are rules, but...

Useful mainly only for the apparatus (esp. Nestle's), and to look at what modern versions are translated from.

Actually, that's been done, sort of. D. A. Waite had a kind of "KJV explained." Then the New Scofield replaced the KJV archaic words with modern words. There are a couple of others, such as the "Modern King James," which I have in software. Not a bad effort.

I really don't think it's that hard. The KJV we use now has been updated at least twice, even more depending on who edited it. I have a man at my SS table who recently went to the KJV from whatever version he had. He has a little trouble following it, but not that much.

The thread is about John R. Rice and the KJV, not Calvinism, etc. If folks want to talk about Calvinism, let them start their own thread in that forum. But I do see that you have responded in Post 82 about the subject. Mods, please hold that thought.

It's official. My thread has been hijacked. :Cautious Mods, please close the thread.

Haven't heard of Woodrow Speed. Samurai sword sounds cool! One of our black belts fought a guy with a reputation in the black belt finals in an Atlanta tournament where the grand prize was a Kawasaki motor cycle. He purposely charged in with his face wide open, hoping his opponent would be...

Started as a kid, huh?

Killer of a program! :Biggrin

Deficient, but the Word of God to the exact extent it duplicates the autographs.

I seriously doubt if they would even care, because they are a "Bible society." Bible societies are all about missionary translation, not more English translations (of which there are 100s.) I am friends with the American rep for the TBS, and he is an awesome missionary Bible translator...

Bill had a very effective way of kicking. He had a bad left knee, so he did all his kicks with the right foot. He would raise the knee the same way for a side kick, roundhouse kick and hook kick. You never knew which kick was coming! I saw him in person fight for the championship with Joe...

In case anyone is interested, I'm attaching the PDF of a document I wrote when I was tested for 6th black. It describes Asian monism, comparing it to trichotomy. Monism is the belief that body and spirit/soul can be unified, giving the practitioner great power--the chi/ki connection in Asian...

By the way, Chuck Norris is a born again Christian, and teaches Christian values in his classes.
