No, rather was asking since YOU equate calvinism bibles as being deeply flawed, what would be
good versions" for you?

Since Calvinism rewrites whatever version is in view, through interpretation, then you must be referring to those translated using Calvinist corruptions, such as "to be" (not in italics) in James 2:5 or "to be saved" in 2 Thessalonians 2:13.

Of course the list must start with the NIV, ESV and NLT.

The NIV, ESV, NOG, GW and CEV all have to be saved in 2 Thess. 2:13. I ask you, what practical difference is there between chose you for salvation and chose you to be saved? That's right. There is no discernable difference.

Regarding James 2:5, you have it in your noggin to be doesn't belong there. Why? These 14 translations (among many more) all have what you find objectionable :
CSB, CEB, EHV, ISV, LEB, Mounce, NABRE, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NRSV, ESV and WEB.

What did the translators of all these Bible versions (many of which are on your most favored list) get wrong, and you, an unqualified "interpreter" get right?

Thanks. I have tried. In fact, I originally had NASB selected .. which was the 95 edition.

When I access the page to select the translation for VOTD ... NASB is NASB2020. So I’ve retro’d To KJV.

I even received a solicited survey for their paid subscription services .... in the “comment” section I asked them to consider removing NASB2020 ... or at least marginalize it rather than feature it.

Just to reiterate, the "Visual Verse of the Day," which I receive as a daily email, still uses the NASB 95.

In other words, they are two different (i.e. separate) email selections.

Just check the box that says, "Visual Verse of the Day," rather than "Verse of the Day."

For anyone to claim "to be" has not been added to the text, for the purpose of altering God's inspired message, demonstrates their qualifications.

None of the versions I cited "altered God's inspired message." That was wicked of you, and you know it Van. Don't be so foolishly arrogant to make that charge. You say the most absurd things to puff yourself up. Face it. You are wrong and the other versions in translating this verse were accomplished Bible scholars and know a thing or three much more than your interpretive non-skills.

Me too. I am going for the newest revision of the NASB, which is the LSB. It went the opposite direction the 2020 went.

My understanding of the Lsb is that it mainly did 2 things, translated God name as being Yahweh throughout both Testaments,, and used slave every time Doulos was cited?

It obviously did more than that or it would not have been copyright eligible.

I think the 2020 NASB will hit the top 10 best selling Bible translations chart and the MacArthur one will fad away. No disrespect to John MacArthur intended. I think its the perfect counterpart to the ESV.
I have my free copy and I appreciate it.
