I agree. Pronouns are replaced with verbs. Sentences are restructured to subject active verb sentences. Compound sentences are translated into multiple simple sentences and the connections between the clauses is sometimes lost.

BBE is based on Ogden's simplied verb system. Verbs in Basic English.

The NIrV is easiest.

The NIrV was updated when the NIV was updated.

When that option is possible. I have been involved in translation projects that were sloppy, but all that was possible. People translated from the original language into bad English and then I did my best to clean up the English. Who knows what was lost.

I am really struggling with applying secular discriminations of sources to Bible discussions. Secular education is meant to divide the classes, even when they profess otherwise. When Christendom adopts secular practices as a default, especially those that exclude the lower classes, I cannot...

As long as academics insist on publishing their work behind pay walls, online discussions meant to include all income levels will remain reliant on Wikipedia. Do you have links to information on the BBE that are not available in the wiki, but are accessible to everyone that might want to...

Why do students of color perform at a level that you fear will doom this country? How can we make sure more students are prepared to do the work that you believe will save this country from doom? Building any people group requires teaching and empowering children, and providing remedial...

There are different guidelines for sharing within the local church body, sharing with the larger church body, and sharing as missions?

I am glad to have the time to take some Bible college and seminary classes at home. And I am glad to have taken some secular college to compare it to. And I am glad to have attended more than one denomination with default practices NOT to send their ministers to seminary.

It was the "N" that was throwing me off the most. Thanks!

I am processing so much about this idea of higher learning and academics as the default path for Christians. I have not come to many conclusions yet, but I am realizing there are things that don't feel right.

What exactly does "UNV" stand for?

I had a snow incident when I could have died. I was saved by another child. I do not know how he found me. I cannot believe an adult sent that child out to find me. Maybe that adult rightly knew the child was more competent than that adult. Both of us survived and I am very grateful to that...

This holiday season is different. I am overeating and it needs to stop. I am probably still a pound underweight, despite months of overeating, but this needs to stop, and the holidays are bringing it to a head. Today, I started getting rid of holiday food instead of buying more and preparing to...

It is scary that was allowed to go on for so long.

I am starting to weaken as this holiday season progresses. I have not lost my gratefulness, which is different than strength. I am learning that you can be grateful but intensely uncomfortable and weak at the same time. Humans were not designed to thrive in isolation. I am human. To feel...

I wonder if the Logos web app will work better in Edge than it does Chrome. Edge has finally made to dev level, but Edge on Linux is pretty controversial. LOL. Introducing Microsoft Edge preview builds for Linux The Tecarta web app works well in Chrome and Firefox, but it doesn't display just...

I like Bible Analyzer, but the beta version is buggy and every distro of Linux that is compatible with my wifi card is incompatible with the last stable version of Bible Analyzer. Sigh! Store Bible Analyzer Store Video Tutorials https://www.youtube.com/user/morton1611/videos Good video on...

I got far enough into my cybersecurity studies to know that I could be trained to attack, but would never gain enough skill to defend myself or anyone else. There is a lot of money to be made when you can convince someone that you can make them safe, but that is a lie, and I won't lie. If I go...
