    You're hyper-effeminate. You are derailing your own thread. Seek professional help Alex.

    All 3 of them essentially literal and formal translations, while the 2020 Nas seems to be moving into at times more dynamic version

    Yes, I'm rather disappointed by that.

    I noticed you didn't mention the NKJV. Do you consider the NKJV to be reliable, also?

    Yes, I find it's growing on me, as well. I'm not prepared to make the transition from the 1995 edition to the 2020 edition, but the 2020 update is better than I expected it to be.

    Absolutely, but why didn't you mention that since there is no difference in Christ, male or female, highlighting "and sisters" presents falsehood.

    Think that Lockman basically decided to make their version of the Csb, to be more inclusive in order to try to get more market share!

    Yeah, let's attribute evil motives to the CSB translation team. Why not, you have dumped on the NIV for ages. You might as well make false accusations about the translators of another translation. I'm waiting for you to go after the NLT team next.

    I see what you're saying, but I believe that the 2020 edition of the NASB isn't as extreme.

    I NEVER said evil motives, but that they decided to change form being so formal and literal in order to try to gain more market share!

    Agree with that, as think the Niv 2011 went full on inclusive, but still disappointing where they took the newest Nas!

    Yes, that aspect of the NASB 2020 is, indeed, a source of disappointment. However, still a solid, formal Bible translation, nevertheless, wouldn't you agree?

    Would see it as about the same as the Csb, still a good translation, but did get downgraded!

    The NIV in any of its editions was never formally equivalent, or "literal" as you wrongly stated.

    And your false accusation about market share is shameful.
