New NASB Update

How about formal translations such as Nkjv, Esv, and prior Nas?
Sorry, Sir, but NKJV is in the family of KJV, and the ESV has "only Son!"

The fact pattern Sir is translatiional updates go from "only begotten" to "one and only" or "unique" or "one of a kind." No body goes from "one and only" to "only begotten." Which bibles outside of the KJV family and updated since 2000 still have "only begotten?"

Your ship is taking on water, and your pumps are failing. How long can you tread water?

Interesting to me that the most formal translations still continue to see it only begotten!

Twaddle.

The NASB will no longer promulgate the mistranslation. So your modern support is all within the KJV family. But outside the family (LEB, ESV, NET, NIV, and CSB) the mistranslation has been fixed.

I have read it. The principle of seeking to better something is not inherently wrong (Psalm 12:6-7). The idea that that principle, especially when applied to the words of God, is a fundamentally never-ending process, is Satanic.
Modern scholars are prone to imbibe the modern evolutionary mindset, one which was not there in 1611.
You smug little scholars will ever be "bettering" the words of the living God, with no end in sight.
Meanwhile, I must explain to the Muslims I preach to why the scholarship-worshipping, humanistic-naturalists keep dumping Bible versions.
Note that God stops the purification process at 7 (Psalm 12:6-7). He doesn't go on indefinitely. Yes, I realize that this is a sub-intellectual argument for the Scholarship-Only highnesses, but there it is. When it comes to the nature of the words of God, the scholars never did discern things spiritually.
Jeremiah 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. is just as true a Bible verse as John 3:16. How many "scholars'' today do you suppose truly believe Jeremiah 8:8?
I'll tell you what I learned. I learned that we Evangelicals are bunch of hypocrites when it comes to the words of God. We denounce the nominal Christians for naively and unscripturally following their priests, while we similarly follow the scribes - forgetting that Christ condemned the scribes, as a group (with some exceptions) just as much as the priests.
Wow, your post is ignorant and not based in reality. At all! Language changes, you realize this right? We do not speak KJV English today. No matter how much you would want to argue that we do, we do not. That is not our language. By your reasoning, we shouldn't translate the Bible into other languages either because there are good translations already available in languages they do not speak.

It is ridiculous.

Then you apply false motives to people who work in translation. GODLY men and women. It's disgusting!

Also, your evolution comment? Where do you come up with this stuff?

You are precisely the reason people see KJVO as a cult, because you are.

So that means will be sticking to my Nas 1977!

You aface, as translators themselves never claimed for 1611 what KJVO do!re precisely the reason people see KJVO as a cult, because you are.
Just wish they would read 1611 Preface, as the translators themselves never claimed for 1611 what KJVO do!

I just see John as describing Jesus as the Logos of God in a way that makes him unique due to him being Only Begotten of the Father, and so eternally God, not created/made!

You might want to do some research on the definition of begotten....
