Again, accusations are not proof. Your continual accusations regarding the NIV have added up to a big pile of nothing. Now you are trying to spread your wings to attack other translations of the same. It all boils down to showing the texts. If it's not in the text then you are blowing hot air...

Despite the fact that you can't quote any passage from any translation that does what you charge, especially regarding sexual deviance.

Just as every other Bible translation does. It's not unique in that regard.

There is no such thing as 'gender neutral Bible translations. Translations with inclusive language? Yes. You have gone off the deep end and are drowning when you say absurd things about doing "deep disservice to the evangelical Christian cause." The very reverse is true. Since you claim to have...

Matthew 19:4-6 'Haven't you read,' he replied, 'that at the beginning the Creator' made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore...

You and Y-1 are co-muckers when it comes to understanding the Scripture, especially translations you dislike. Your ignorance is clouding your field of vision. Your bias is noted, but unwarranted. You need take a humble place under excellent Bible expositors such as Don Carson.

Boy, you have gone off the deep end. D. A. Carson has been a respected evangelical leader for decades. He is a world class biblical scholar who also happens to be Reformed and Baptist. If anything you show your ignorance of the man, even if you had met him. I have met him as well decades ago at...

Did you ever wonder about the fact that the term "Son of man" is not used in any of Paul's epistles?

Accuracy refers to the meaning of the text. Is the meaning transferred more clearly in a given passage? Whether the passage is done in a more form-oriented style or in a plainer manner is up to a case by case determination. You know that no translation is, may I put it, literally literal. The...

Read the prefaces of each translation. The NIV is a mediating version while the NLT is, for the most part a functional equivalence translation. re of more formal renderings. When you speak about claims, I am reminded of your legion of false claims regarding the NIV. So in the arena of claims...

The NIV uses the phrase as well, but it is from an old tradition carried over from the 16th century --before the KJV. Is it legitimate or appropriate to use the term when people are easily confused that it must refer to Jesus each and every time?

Just to clarify what MM said.

How informed you are. I hereby sentence you to spend one month in the NLT. You will come out as a convert.

Recently there have been some bold insinuations regarding modern Bible translations. Just like the House 'vote' -- the evidence is lacking despite strident voices. Allegedly, some modern versions (unnamed) have been slowly and gradually been watering down Bible texts about hom _ _ _ _uality...

30:9 ESV : And now I have become their song NIV : And now those young men mock me in song 31:12 ESV : it would burn to the root of my increase NIV : it would have uprooted my harvest 31:20 ESV : if his body has not blessed me NIV : and their hearts did not bless me 31:21 ESV : because I saw...

I am going to correct you here, not theologically, but grammatically. It's 'led' not lead. Led is the past tense of lead. It's a pet peeve of mine....;-)

Hasn't anyone noticed the weird title of this thread? It's 'sheep' whether in the plural or singular. In this case it's the former. There is no such word as 'sheeps.'

The Archbishop was not citing any Bible translation; it was of his own derivation. Don't get it twisted as the cool kids say.

MM, I have abridged Carson's article so that you can understand more fully what he is saying, especially regarding singulars and plurals.

Your history of lies regarding the NIV offers no such proof. Again, you were thinking out loud with some idle thoughts that cannot be backed up with anything specific from any modern Bible translation. Again, you have come up with a fat zero. Thanks for your contribution.
