    Y-1 rarely reads his links. Most of the time his links don't even discuss the specifics he claims are in the links. Sometimes his links refute what he says. What Y-1 has do is his own homework instead of relying on others for his false information. Yet he has a creative mind and has thought up...

    Of the following eight Bible translations listed below...

    You are dead wrong. You know it. Your charade is stupid. If it's not in the text of the NIV your charges are pure fiction. And it proves you are no lover of God's Word since you have falsely accused the NIV with wicked things it does not say.

    NIV vs CSB: which do you prefer?

    Y-1, you have said you had your sons use the NLT as your translation of choice for them when they were young. Does it bother you in retrospect that the NLT has been a rather dynamic version --much more than the NIV? And it uses, as you can see from the chart above, more inclusive language...

    How would a functional translation be superior to formal one?

    "For the vast majority of people actually engaged in Bible translation, the importance of functional equivalence is a given ---and rightly so. Its victory is hailed by numerous pieces of evidence. There is widespread recognition of the inadequacy of merely formal equivalency in translation...

    How would a functional translation be superior to formal one?

    A great deal of the rhetoric on this subject "represents a poor understanding of the doctrine of verbal inspiration, which historically does not refer to the words as 'words in themselves,' but 'words as they convey meaning.' It is precisely at this point that we would argue that a translation...

    How would a functional translation be superior to formal one?

    Rod was a good man. I looked forward to reading his articles on a regular basis. By the way, he was a big fan of the 2011 NIV and wrote about it in clear language. His words go against the typical garbage that is thrown around about the NIV.

    You need to stop deflecting. Confess your lies and apologize.

    Why is the New International Version Bible translation so popular? What are your thoughts on that?

    You have lied consistently about the NIV for 15 years. You have said the most absurd things that have no support in the text of the NIV. How many times have I told you to go to the text of the NIV to prove your allegations? Too many times. You evade your duty as a Christian every time. It is...

    You are starting with a false premise.

    Why is the New International Version Bible translation so popular? What are your thoughts on that?

    You sir, do not, I repeat, do not, stand by the truth. Quite the opposite.

    KJV vs. NKJV: which do you prefer?

    Your pronouncements are not trustworthy. You have a shoddy track record.

    NIV vs CSB: which do you prefer?

    I have pointed out the outrageous lies you have been making for 15 years about the NIV. None of which can be supported by any passage from the text of the NIV. If your inane and untrue statements are not found in the NIV then you are guilty of misrepresenting it with no repentance on your part...

    NIV vs. ESV, Part 2

    You need to use the NIrV for your primary translation. It will jump-start your English proficiency.

    Why is the New International Version Bible translation so popular? What are your thoughts on that?

    It will shine brightly without the help from the Reformed Baptist or otherwise). Don't be so smug about the Baptists not being onboard with the NIV. The latter coupled with the NIrV and the Spanish NIV occupy quite the market share.

    Why is the New International Version Bible translation so popular? What are your thoughts on that?

    Common sense would tell anyone but you that those on the 2005 TNIV team would have approved the milder 2011 NIV. Those on the TNIV team who worked on the 1984 NIV (if not even earlier) were : Ronald Youngblood, Kenneth Barker, Donald Madvig, Gordon Fee and Herbert Wolfe. I'm not sure if the...

    NIV vs. ESV, Part 2

    If you pay close attention to my words you will notice that I didn't say so-called formal versions don't use form-oriented wording. The method may be to try the formal route, but the philosophy is that on many occasions the form will have to be modified. "Every translation is at many points a...

    NIV vs CSB: which do you prefer?

    The "mistakes" that you are "pointing out are in fact lies from your keystrokes. You have said repeatedly that the NIV promotes : A blurring of gender roles Women as elders Women as pastors Women as heads of households Feminist material Caving to a feminist agenda All seven of those charges...

    NIV vs. ESV, Part 2

    My "mantra" is to get you to confess your sin of lying about the NIV for 15 straight years. My "mantra" is to demand for you to retract and apologize for your lack of integrity. You see things that are not in the text of the NIV. You have never documented any of your irresponsible charges as...

    NIV vs. ESV, Part 2

    Yes, all do. But some formal equivalence fans have an enlarged estimation of their favorites. These fans have no idea that their favorite version uses functional equivalence as a philosophy of translation.
