    The Great Purge Has Been Made

    Now everything has been restored. I am puzzled. Earlier, shortly before I made the OP some of my favorite alternative media for news and current events seem to have been taken down. It simple said "All content has been removed." Am I in the Twilight Zone or what?

    The Great Purge Has Been Made

    I went to youtube a few minutes ago and found some of my favorite sites have been removed of all content. These channels concentrated on news and current events that the MSM doesn't want to venture into. I can probably find some of them on alternative sites like Bitchute. Man, google and...

    Translate This

    The following passages are taken from D.A. Carson's The Limits Of Functional Equivalence In Bible Translation found in the larger work The Challenge Of Bible Translation. "...translation is an inexact discipline that involves compromise -- give and take -- and that there are subtleties in the...

    Reader Response vs. Authorial Intent

    Words are not translated in isolated units. That's why words in context with the surrounding text is fundamental. Phrase by phrase, clause by clause and sentence by sentence is how meaningful translation is done. The interlinear method is not true translation. Meaning is paramount. By looking at...

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    MM is just begging me to do another of my NKJV Vs. NIV threads. The whole canon was published in 1982. My question is : How long can it be considered 'new'? Come on, 20 years maybe. But approaching 40, no way.

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    The above is utter nonsense. It is foolish to have to translate a translation. As I have repeatedly told you :Your views on Bible translation contradict the principles of William Tyndale and the Gideons. You claim to be proud to be a part of the Gideons, yet you have eagerly told us that you...

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    The above is a typical example of grandstanding garbage. More disgraceful charges against godly translators who do the opposite of what you accuse them of. The older one gets they should also get wisdom. But in your case that apparently doesn't apply, at least in this particular besetting...

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    Well, this may surprise you, but wickedness = unrighteousness. ISV : For God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and wickedness of those who in their wickedness suppress the truth. NRSV : For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all sinful wicked people...

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    I agree, but sometimes you have to humor the old boy. He's doing the least he can.

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    A number of translations differ with you on that score, aside from the NIV. Take a gander :CSB, Darby, ESV, ISV, LEB, NABRE, NET, NLT, NRSV and good ole' WYC.

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    If the ESV had based their translation on the NRSV, it would have turned out better.

    The NIV In Comparison to the ESV. Part 3

    Well, you know the old saying :"Haste makes waste."

    CSB 2020 Revision

    You said in your OP that they made changes in their use of gender inclusive language. As far as I can tell there were just changes in three passages in Acts 15. The revised CSB now has 'brothers' as has the 84 NIV, TNIV and the present NIV.

    CSB 2020 Revision

    "I'm sorry I misled so many people with my dispensational scheme; although I thought I was right at the time."

    The New International Version (NIV)

    I know this sounds radical, but you need to read actual texts for yourself. Do your own homework as I have told you often.

    CSB 2020 Revision

    I'm looking forward to the updated CSB being put into Biblegateway, so that I can do searches. I have gone through the whole canon of the revisions and noted some of the changes. The use of the word 'ancestors' certainly has increased dramatically. See Ex. 2:23;3:15,16; 4:5. Numbers 32:8 and...

    CSB 2020 Revision

    I don't think the translators would regard the previous decisions as 'mistakes,' rather, they would regard the changes as improvements.

    CSB 2020 Revision

    I took a journey through Genesis. This is not exhaustive -- just cursory observations. From what I have noticed the original text of the CSB was very much the same kind of wording as the NIV text. Not entire verses, but the words that have been changed in the revision. There are seven verses in...

    The New International Version (NIV)

    "From what you can read" huh? That would severely limit your knowledge of the translation.

    The New International Version (NIV)

    Y, you have been all over the board about the CSB. In other words; you make contradictory statements. A person can change their mind granted. However, you are as fickle as can be.
