The Geneva translation was the most popular English Bible translation until the mid-17th century. Yes, a good Bible translation in any language has to be in the language of the people --in the vernacular. The NIV has been the logical and popular translation to do just that in the English...

Those are not versions. Those are text-types.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the NIV. The NT was released in 1973. The whole canon was published in 1978. In its various incarnations it has been around for half a century. In contrast the KJV, in its various incarnations took about 140 years to not only be accepted, but beloved.

As the title of a James M. Boice sermon says : "It's Double Or Nothing."

This has been a subject of interest of mine for more than a year. These "auditors" are creeps with a low IQ. They show up in post offices, schools, construction companies, libraries, detention facilities, police stations and prisons --just to name a few places. They have their set lines which...

I'd say the top four English translations being used at the latter end of 2023 in America are the New International Version, NLT, ESV and CSB.

This is not on the same theme. I have long regarded the word humankind as an undesirable word. It's clumsy. Humanity or simply people work better. Mankind ; I don't know. That's iffy in my opinion. Of 15 versions from BibleGateway, the LEB used humankind 123 times. NRSV used it 44 times...

I do not know how to categorize this one. The words sovereign and sovereignty. Three versions are way out ahead of every other translation. I surveyed 17 versions.. The NET used either sovereign or sovereignty 342 times. The NIV : 297 NLT : 291 In a distant third place was the NRSV at 62.

If an armless guy has a gun --is he armed? Where do homeless people have 85% of their accidents? I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous. My doctor told me I was schizophrenic. I said "You've got the wrong guy." My doctor told me that I'm s kleptomaniac. So I've been taking a lot of...

I see that you haven't read any of his writings. Consequently, you have no legitimate reason to say such unfounded stuff. I suggest you read The Golden Booklet Of The True Christian Life by John Calvin. It's less than 100 pages. While reading it, you will be humbled by the wild charges you said...

You and your sources are mistaken. The chronology alone is messed up. You spoke of Calvin's first five years in Geneva. He first came in July of 1536. But he and Farel were ejected from Geneva in April of 1538. Calvin spent the next three years and five months in Strassburg, Then, on September...

The CEB, CSB, EHV, ISV, NET and WEB don't use the word. The NABRE, and NRSV use it only once. The LEB uses it twice. MOUNCE uses it thrice. ESV, NASB and NKJV use it four times. LSB uses the word five times. Regarding the word reconciliation -- (not counting forms of the word) as it occurs in...

Why did the man fall down the well? He couldn't see that well. I used to hate facial hair. Then, it grew on me.

Calvin was not a dictator of Geneva. He had no governmental authority in that city. Even in church affairs he was not permitted to excommunicate anyone for much of his tenure. Calvin did not become a citizen of that city until five years before his death --in 1559. Calvin never raised a toast...

I have only eight of John Calvin's New Testament commentaries. In those volumes he cites Augustine 82 times and Chrysostom 84 times. I have a book edited by Herman J. Selderhuis. Its title is The Calvin Handbook. There is a chapter by Ian Hazlett. It's called Theological Relations --Calvin and...

Dr. Wilson, who you reference constantly is a hairy tick. He's part of Vineyard movement up there in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Wilson wrote an unsound book called A Letter To my Congregation. It deals with the alphabet soup conglomeration known as LGBTQ+. Wilson is fine with those types being...

Fullness 3: NLT 6: ISV 8: CEB 9 : CSB, NET 10 : NIV 11 : EHV 16 : NASB 17 : NRSV 18 : ESV 20 : NABRE 25 : KJV [fulness] 26 : WEB 27 : NKJV 28 : LEB 35 : LSB Four versions outdid the KJV. The LSB went overboard. The NRSV was in the middle of the pack overall.

The redeemed are the ransomed. The ransomed are the redeemed. Have you ever sung Man Of Sorrows. Part of it goes : When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransomed home to bring, Then anew this song we'll sing : Hallelujah, what a Savior! Have you ever sung I will Sing Of My Redeemer...

What do you call it when your toes surrender? Defeat * A janitor suddenly emerged from a cleaning closet. He shouted to startled onlookers :"Supplies!" A duck walks in a bar and orders drinks for everyone. The bartender askes the duck how he intends to pay. The duck answers "Just put it on my...
