The 2011 NIV

[JesusFan]

The NRSV is a good, reliable translation. Not sure what you're getting at here.

Those who translated it did NOT adhere to inerrancy of the scriptures, not in the sense of those on the Commitees for either NASV/NIV versions, andit is the truth that it went extreme in the areas of "gender bias" in Bible, more so than NIV 2011, and that it is the preferred version for those holding tocritical moden liberal scholarship...

My pastor completed his PHD in NT theology, wrote on the trinity, and found out that the NRSV was the version of choice in NT studies for today!

There's actually really nothing "liberal" about the translation. That opinion is held over from the backlash against the RSV.

Conservative Bible scholar D.A.Carson,whom I esteem very highly, said in a review long ago that the NRSV is "a jolly good translation."

Well here is a link that will speak shortly about the NIV
http://www.gty.org/MediaPlayer/sermons/90-380
Just the first 4 minutes wll cover this issue if you are interested.

Is that all ya got? One guy who tears down the NIV to promote his own Bible translation and another that casts negative motivations on any translator whose translation philosophy differs from the translators of his favorite versions - as if he personally knows each and every one of them.

1. Liberals do not believe in the inerrancy and authority of the Bible
2. Liberals do no believe in the deity of Jesus - at least the ones I know don't.

Let's see how the NIV translators handle these in their own words - the preface of the NIV.

From the beginning of the project, the Committee on Bible Translation held to certain goals for the New International Version: that it would be an accurate translation and one that would have clarity and literary quality and so prove suitable for public and private reading, teaching, preaching, memorizing and liturgical use. The Committee also sought to preserve some measure of continuity with the long tradition of translating Scriptures into English.​

In working toward these goals, the translators were united in their commitment to the authority and infallibility of the Bible as God’s Word in written form. They believe that it contains the divine answer to the deepest needs of humanity, that it sheds unique light on our path in a dark world, and that it sets forth the way to our eternal well-being.​

Like all translations of the Bible, made as they are by imperfect man, this one undoubtedly falls short of its goals. Yet we are grateful to God for the extent to which he has enabled us to realize these goals and for the strength he has given us and our colleagues to complete our task. We offer this version of the Bible to him in whose name and for whose glory it has been made. We pray that it will lead many into a better understanding of the Holy Scriptures and a fuller knowledge of Jesus Christ the incarnate Word, of whom the Scriptures so faithfully testify.

We can clearly see that the NIV translators were not liberal nor is the NIV made for liberals. So far, you have swung and missed three times. In baseball terms - You're Out :smilewinkgrin:

Would totally agree with Dr Carson, my only comment on the NRSV was that the translator behind it held to a "less than" view on ineranncy/infallibility as contrasted with those on both NSV/NIV, and that it is really into "gender bias" being"eliminated' in the Bible. more so than either TNIV/NIV 2011!
