I don't want to misrepresent you, so let me ask a couple of things that are unclear to me from what you have posed (no offense intended): 1. Does the bema judgment include lost people? 2. Are there punishments at the bema judgment? 3. Do you believe the Great White Throne Judgment and the...

"Not award ceremony"? Funny peculiar, since we will received according to the good we have done. Are "gold, silver, precious stones" (2 Cor. 3:12) then some kind of punishment? And "14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward." So, the Judgment Seat of...

2 Cor. 5:10--For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Let me point out here that the word "bad" in this verse is not kakos (κακός), which is moral evil in this...

Yep. There are plenty of crazy Americans. :Biggrin Please don't take the Lord's name in vain. I never have believed in "dumbing down" the Bible. I oppose dynamic equivalence in modern Bibles, but do not oppose any good Bible translation.

Please do not take the Lord's name in vain. The KJV forbids that.

Not a single lexicon referred to in the article. Not a single extra-biblical source (TDNT, etc.). The article appears to say that there will be punishment of Christians at the bema. If that be true, then Jesus did not die for all our sins, and we believers have sins not covered under the blood...

Here's a quote from Dr. Price about DE. If someone wants me to I'll do my best at explaining transformational grammar. “It is quite clear that paraphrase is unavoidable with dynamic equivalence theory. Glassman wrote, ‘It is, in fact, impossible to analyze, transfer and restructure without...

Tempest in a teapot. ;) It's a revision, not technically a new translation. And the list from the link given in the OP is linguistically ignorant. All of those words can be found in a good dictionary, and an educated person (even an American!) regularly uses many. Anyone who doesn't know that...

Here's another OE principle: “Optimal equivalence as a translation philosophy recognizes that form cannot be neatly separated from meaning and should not be changed...unless comprehension demands it” (Holman Christian Standard Bible, “Foreword.” Nashville: Holman Bible Publishers, 2009, v.)...

If that is true, then John the Baptist was a Baptist! ;) Not to mention the Church of Christ, the Mormons, and others who baptize by immersion. Personally, I don't include anyone as a Baptist unless they adhere to a normative version of the Baptist Distinctives. Happy New Year!

A fair question. 1. The conservative Japanese version is analogous to the NASB, and supported by the Lockman Foundation. Like the NASB (and most modern versions they want control over who uses more than a certain number of verses. That's just wrong (2 Cor. 2:17, where "corrupt" in the KJV is...

Such folk don't bother me, but I think they are not understanding something important. When you are living in a pagan land, and they have a pagan festival, pastors want to provide an alternative. For example, when we ministered in Japan we learned that the Japanese have basically paganized...

I agree with you on this. Specifically, we will weep at our lost opportunities, as we see people we could have won to Christ being condemned to an eternity in Hell. This would especially include relatives and close friends. I can't imagine stoically standing by, not being moved at all, while a...

I'm going to give some principles of OE. Here's the first. “Seeks to preserve all of the information in the text, while presenting it in good literary form.” (Preface, New King James Version. Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982, p. v.) This is an important principle, followed by the original KJV...

This translation method was used for the NKJV and the HCSB. Now many will say that to be incorrect, since the NKJV is more conservative and literal than the HCSB. (Dr. Price was an OT editor on both.) But remember that this is a method, not a set of rules. And it is not a strictly literal method...

He called his translation theory Optimal Equivalence. His first book on the subject was Complete Equivalence in Bible Translation (Nashville: Nelson, 1987). He told me once that even then he was using the term Optimal Equivalence for his theory, but the publisher did not want to let him use that...

Dr. James D. Price, Hebrew scholar extraordinaire, went to Heaven on Dec. 12 at age 100. His wife had gone on before. He was my Hebrew prof. at Temple Baptist Seminary in the fall of 1976, and I got to know him more after that. I went soul winning with him, asked for his advice on Greek and he...

IMO, Riplinger is worse than Ruckman, who was very bad! I find it completely ridiculous that she calls all Bibles other than the KJV "New Age Bibles." If a translation is even dynamic equivalence, it is utterly impossible to make it a "New Age Bible." It is absolutely impossible to get New Age...

News flash: You don't have to respond!! You even put him on "Ignore."

The point here in this OP is, are there any commands in the Bible to defend the Bible (the whole Bible, not just certain doctrines). KJVO folk defend the KJV all the time, but I believe it is unnecessary and not commanded in Scripture.
