    Bible Reading Comprehension Tests

    Perhaps the "aloud" isn't a perfect test. This just isn't a KJV issue. I have noticed that middle school kids do poorly when reading the ESV outloud during youth Bible study. However a switch to the CSB did help. Many of my Highschool kids still read from the ESV during youth Bible study. Which...

    Great Book On King James Only by Mark Ward

    Most methods of evaluation I have seen place the KJV at 12th grade. Which I believe. I base this on the fact that I have never heard anyone in the past 20 years, outside of a preacher, read the KJV outloud without stumbling all over the place. Also, according to PIAAC 52% of adults in...

    Genesis 3:16 in the English Standard Version Bible

    I think it is very possible communicating the correct message. The passage is notoriously difficult. The phrase in the LXX also lacks a verb and really doesn't help the english reader know what exactly is the meaning here. If προς is to be read as "against" in the accustive then the LXX agrees...

    Genesis 3:16 in the English Standard Version Bible

    The NET agrees with the ESV as well. The NET teams provide this note in regards to their decision. "Heb “and toward your husband [will be] your desire.” The nominal sentence does not have a verb; a future verb must be supplied, because the focus of the oracle is on the future struggle. The...

    Genesis 3:16 in the English Standard Version Bible

    From the NAC commentary on Gen 3:16 .... better is the explanation suggested by Gen 4:7b, where 'desire' and 'rule' [masal] are found again in tandem: 'It desires to have you, but you must master [masal] it.' In chap. 4 'sin' is like an animal that when stirred up will assault Cain; it...

    If it were up to you, which phrase would you prefer to use in your Bible translation?

    There isn't enough in the OP to answer that question. I assume you mean how would I prefer to translate αδελφοί (adelphoi). Context would decide that. There is several occasions where "siblings" or "brothers and sisters" is actually the preferred reading. Sometimes it is not. However, I do...

    Is the NET Bible formal equivalence or functional equivalence?

    Hmm.... Do you know who the other founder of Bible.org was? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Is the NET Bible formal equivalence or functional equivalence?

    It is likely Hampton Keathley of Bible.org. I believe Bible.org was the official sponsor and he is the co-founder. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Is the NET Bible formal equivalence or functional equivalence?

    That is probably a good way of seeing it. It is closer to NIV than NLT. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Is the NET Bible formal equivalence or functional equivalence?

    There is two versions now. I have been using the 2nd Edition recently. I find it to be a good dynamic translation. Great to read parallel with the NASB ot ESV. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Of the following eight Bible translations listed below...

    The only two listed I would recommend against using as their primary translation for reading is the KJV and NLT. The KJV is so old the language is a barrier to understanding. I have people in my church who have used the KJV their whole life. When you call on them to read during Bible study...

    Question about ESV and CSB versions

    I use both. I have never heard the CSB was "bent" toward calvinism. The co-chair of the translation committee is David Allen....who is far from a Calvinist. It is just a good and faithful translations. The ESV does get accused of being the Calvinist Bible (Elect Standard Version). The reason...

    John MacArthur and Beth Moore

    She preaches to mixed congregation and attacks white males in the church because...well, they are white and male. She attempted to promote women pastors in the SBC, then Mohler went after her and she deleted tweet. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
