Oh, so you are now prepared to be honest? In your fanciful world you maintain feminist plots abound with respect to the NIV. You insist that the NIV wants women to be elders and pastors. And you aver that it condones women as heads of households. All of that fiction and more you have leveled at...

You are confused. Even your favorite Bible translations include gender inclusive language. "Yeah, but..." Yeah but what? You maintain that your favs use it less my favs. Oh, so now you acknowledge that inclusive language is used in your pet translations, but you move the goalposts now to the...

Would those translators, (if indeed you know anything about them) be willing to compromise their principles? I'm beginning to think that the charge of being P.C. is akin to being called a racist for any and all belief in the political world. In other words, it is completely baseless. The...

Why do you say that? It's a mediating translation. From the 1984 edition to the present incarnation the NIV has always been regarded as occupying the middle ground --a balanced approach. It's in the group of the NET, CSB and NAB. And I think the old MLB be in the center position as well.

To call the current crop of Bible translations a "dumbing-down" suggests that you are uninformed.

Maybe you can get lost in the notes, but the vast percentage of its audience finds it perfectly satisfactory. A fine text is provided and additional helps are given. I see no problem with that arrangement. Because its new is a valid reason to dismiss it? The "funny" translational choices that...

ESV for readability?! For sheer awkwardness and inelegance of style it deserves one star. The NLT is worthy of Bible studies with other helps.

Al Mohler is not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet. In this he is akin to the global climate alarmists.

English is either his second or third language.

It has its positives and negatives as does functional equivalence. That's why mediating is the best of both worlds.

Whew! Tech problems. It's exhausting.

You are right!!!

The NIV has more inclusive language than the ESV. However, if 131 of its footnotes were put in the text, it would be approximately the same between the two. A reminder when it comes to a gradation of inclusive language in various translations : 1984 NIV ---ESV ---HCSB---NET ----CSB ----2011 NIV...

You have the desire to be a fortune teller. The year 21011 is yet future. You need to demonstrate facts, specifics. Go to the text of translations to prove your contentions.

You put it in the plural form in the present day. Perhaps you were stretching it yet once again.

Jeremiah 31:21 NIV : take note of the highway ESV : consider well the highway NIV : return to your towns ESV : return to these your cities Isaiah 57:2 NIV : they find rest as they lie in death ESV : they rest in their beds CEB : burial beds NCV : find rest in death Isaiah 38:15 NIV : I will...

I can visualize a promo for a Bible translation based on your post : "This fine version will give you the very gist of what God is saying."

You didn't answer my question. (Nothing new there.) How reliable is the CSB in your view today?

So where do you stand today on the reliability of the CSB? You are a fickle on the subject. No matter where you currently stand you are certain to position yourself elsewhere in a short time span.

Y-1 is obdurate.
