Thoughts on the NLT

[RipponRedeaux]

What is dangerous about the NLT? What doctrines are denied by this translation?

 

[AVL1984]

A double-minded person is unstable in all they do.

Far from being "double-minded"..and this is going to be the last time I ask you to stop trying to derail this thread. I've suggested starting your own thread.

Please, get back on track....

 

[RipponRedeaux]

Please, get back on track....

The subject of this thread is the NLT. So I have asked you what doctrines are denied by this translation. Surely if you think it is a dangerous translation you could come up with something or do you merely want to lob mud and not answer easy questions?

I don't see anywhere where anyone is saying this...please, feel free to point it out.

I don't "lob mud." You are a prevaricator to an infinite degree. .

Don't accuse someone of being a prevaricator while prevaricating yourself.

I didn't state it WAS a paraphrase. I stated that this is what I consider it. Comprehension...Always comprehension.

I understood you You do have the Living which was a Paraphrase. The NLT is a translation. It is not a paraphrase. You can consider a Jack Ass to be a Horse, but it does not make it one.

Its appropriate for one just saved, just reading the bible, but should migrate in time to a more formal translation

You mean all along AVL has been talking about the old Living Bible, despite using the term NLT? Man, the NLT in its various editions has been around for more than a quarter of a century and he hasn't caught onto basic facts yet?

The NLT is a sometimes translation. And then it is sometimes opinion and not God's word.

I honestly am not sure but he seems to be mixing the two.

There is the on going problem attacking persons and not the issues. I do not even like the so called NLT.

Not my favorite, but it is a translation and not a paraphrase.

The KJV and NKJV have more paraphrases than you would be willing to admit. "Long live the King" --"God save the king" and "God forbid" are some classic examples.

Worse.
Colossians 1:15, . . . πρωτοτοκος πασης κτισεως . . .
<as>
. . . He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, . . .

So what?
I have been using the KJV over 50 years. And I am against KJV onlyism.

"He existed before anything was created" is not necessary in the passage. However, "is supreme over all creation" is perfectly appropriate.

I didn't say anything about KJVonlyism.

Not what the word of God said in . . . . πρωτοτοκος πασης κτισεως . . . ." Which refers to incarnate Christ's bodily resurrection as part of His own creation. He being Creator, verses 16-17. Big difference in what verse 15 means.
