Concerning cult Bibles such as the New World Translation, I don't think Satan has to do a thing about influencing them. I've communicated with JW translators both in the US and Japan. and have rebuked them in both cases as being poor translators. It is fully sufficient to say that translators...

I think you missed my point. I talked about verses in the NKJV that are exactly the same as the KJV. Have those verses ceased to be the Word of God simply because they are in the NKJV? Again, I will not say "That is not what I said" unless you twist my words into a different meaning. For...

Welcome back, Sarge.

In support of what I wrote above, remember "The Translators to the Reader" at the beginning of the 1611 KJV, which said: “We affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession, (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as...

Of course.

It's not the Greek text that produces a viable and accurate translation, but the translation method and the translator's skill. At any rate, the Shinkaiyaku, done from the principles of the NASB but with the NT from Nestle's, is the one most used by the evangelicals of Japan. The new missionary...

My view is that Satan hates Bible translation, and the main way he affects it is by trying to stop it. A faithful missionary did a translation of a NT in the language of a people group in India. He took it to the Bible Society of India to get it checked. Since he did the translation without...

Agreed.

The first Japanese NT was translated by Baptist missionary Nathan Brown in 1871, long before the first Nestle's Greek NT, and was probably based on Tischendorf's Greek NT, near as I can tell. The cover said, "From the oldest existing Greek manuscripts." The NT of the "Original Translation" was...

Segal is expert in Aikido, but that is at the very bottom of the list of supposed deadly martial arts. He adds stuff to it and soups it up with movie techniques to make it look deadly, but it's not. There's a famous anecdote in which Segal challenged Gene Lebell, old school judo expert, and MMA...

Yesterday there was a church shooting in Lexington, Kentucky, where two ladies from the Richmond Baptist Church were shot dead, and their husbands were wounded, apparently in the church basement. Then the shooter was shot dead by police. Here's a link...

You mean Brazilian jujutsu (BJJ), not kick-boxing. There is no special "Brazilian Kickboxing" that I know of. BJJ is mainly for competition: submission matches and MMA. Other than that, falling down on the ground when you are attacked? Not bad against one opponent when there are rules, but...

Useful mainly only for the apparatus (esp. Nestle's), and to look at what modern versions are translated from.

Actually, that's been done, sort of. D. A. Waite had a kind of "KJV explained." Then the New Scofield replaced the KJV archaic words with modern words. There are a couple of others, such as the "Modern King James," which I have in software. Not a bad effort.

I really don't think it's that hard. The KJV we use now has been updated at least twice, even more depending on who edited it. I have a man at my SS table who recently went to the KJV from whatever version he had. He has a little trouble following it, but not that much.

The thread is about John R. Rice and the KJV, not Calvinism, etc. If folks want to talk about Calvinism, let them start their own thread in that forum. But I do see that you have responded in Post 82 about the subject. Mods, please hold that thought.

It's official. My thread has been hijacked. :Cautious Mods, please close the thread.

Haven't heard of Woodrow Speed. Samurai sword sounds cool! One of our black belts fought a guy with a reputation in the black belt finals in an Atlanta tournament where the grand prize was a Kawasaki motor cycle. He purposely charged in with his face wide open, hoping his opponent would be...

Started as a kid, huh?
