[Van]

The ESV, NIV and NLT are not agenda-driven translations. But it is easy to see that your dozen years of posting are indeed agenda-driven.

I have no problem with the wording of the ESV and NLT for Rev. 13:8. You have a lot of gall to say those translations of this verse evidence false teaching.

I know you are up there in years, but the NIV has The Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

Please get new glasses.

Yet another nonsense post, advocating mistranslating "apo" as before is not agenda driven, or changing the noun "salvation" into a verb (to be saved) is not agenda driven.
The case is closed.

The case is still open. I posted a no-nonsense post. And of course you would object to that.

Confession is good for the soul Van. Admit that you were wrong about the NIV rendering of Rev. 13:8.

Yet another post of false charges concerning my behavior.

Rev 13:8
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.[fn]
footnote: Or written from the creation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was slain

I am correct, the NIV mistaken version is found in the main text and the correct version is found in the footnote.

Folks, bible study can reveal where a particular translation has an accurate rendering of most verses, but has an inaccurate rendering of some verses. This is not rocket science, and no one needs a degree in Greek to discern translation flaws using available study aids, such as comparing multiple translations of the same verse, and utilizing the footnotes provided.
