Versions that are Invalid:

[givengrace]

I'm not voting cause I've not studied all these Bibles. But as to the Message and you saying the Reader Digest is like it. I don't think you can call them invalided. Cause they aren't considered the same they're a paraphrase.

 

[Ed Edwards]

Salamander: //I believe you're trying to speak for others while they remain silent.//

Perhaps. Feel free to find the folks and ask them. I already know what some will say ('???' means I don't know what they will say)

IMHO there were several trends going on here:

There were folks who dislike my prolific writing, flawless logic, inspirational Fundamentalist/Christian writing, evangelical/missionary ferver, and sarcastic humore -- they were trying to counter whatever they considered that I might be trying to do. There are some people who actually read the instructions and didn't vote against something that they hadn't studied at length (which is kind and they had good motives). Like some, I'd probably change my vote (if such was allowed and call none of them invalid.

Anyway, it was fun to have the poll and I'm not sure what all it proved. Next time I'm going to set a limit of like three months so it will be sure to be lost the archives of once done polls. :sleeping_2:

I appreciate each and every one who participated in this pll. I know I look at polls and always vote IF MY VOTE IS NOT KNOWN. If my name is printed next to the votes, i might not vote. I sure will take more care if I do vote, my name might be there for quite a while, you know.

You have a way with words Ed. You're a staple figure on the BB.

 

[Ed Edwards]

Thank you Brother Rippon. I hope I begin to resemble what you say!

Amen, Brother Ed -- Preach it! :thumbs:

Remember, you can check to see who voted how by clicking on any vote count number.

 

[Ed Edwards]

IMO = in my opinion
IMHO = in my humble opinion
IMMHO = in my MOST HUMBLE opinion (probably to prideful for use on a Christian bb /bulletin board/ )

 

[Rippon]

Amen, Brother Ed -- Preach it! :thumbs:

Are you like others here who get a kick out of your "AMEN"and "Preach it brother" remarks?Now you have actually and officially endorsed your own thoughts.Ed E has approved Ed E!

 

[Ed Edwards]

Amen, Brother RIPPON -- Preach it! :thumbs:

(please note: 'You Preach it!' sounds so much more BAPTIST than 'Pop to Top', 'Update', or 'Bump')

 

[Ed Edwards]

You have a way with words Ed. You're a staple figure on the BB.

God bless you, Brother Rippon for your words of kindness. I have a figure that is overweight (obese, according to USGovernment specifications ) and you say I have a skinny 'staple figure'. That is really a great thing to say!

 

[Rippon]

So, according to the polling:

The NASB is 6 votes more valid than the NIV.

The ESV is 5 votes more valid than the NIV.

And, of course, the NASB is 1 point more valid than the ESV.

 

[Rippon]

So I guess we're not going to find out if some folks who have never even laid their eyes on the following: HCSB,NET Bible,NRSV,NJB,REB,MLB,NLTse,TNIV think those are invalid or not.

 

[Ed Edwards]

Thank you voter #122. Your participation in this poll was very kind. Again, thank you.

Thank you voters #1-#121 -- Ya'lls participation in this poll was very kind also. Again, thank you.

I'm not even sure I know what all those acronyms mean

HCSB - Christian Standard Bible (Holman, 2003)
NET Bible - NoW! English Translation
NRSV - New Revised Standard Version
NJB - Nifty Junior Bible
REB - Ritzy English Bible
MLB - My Lofty Bible
NLTse - New Living Translation (simple English)
TNIV - Today's New International Version (Zondervan, 2006)

I clicked on one before I realized you couldn't vote for more than one. I don't consider these valid:

NIV (Actually I think this is is fairly valid, but I have a few issues with it, but it was the only one I got to vote fore before realizing you could only vote one).

NLT

Reader's Digest

The Message

 

[Thinkingstuff]

Which of the following Versions ARE invalid?
Please do not mark a Version invalid unless you have
studied the version a bit and consider it invalid.
Please do not mark a Version simple because you
have 'heard' is is bad. Please do not mark a Version
as being invalid just because you consider some
other version better than others. All we want is
a learned insight as to which versions are invalid
and to what scope do people on the BB
consider them invalid. Thank you.

BWT = New World Translation
should be: NWT = New World Translation (the Jehovah's Witnesses version)

What do you mean invalid? Not accurate? Not the word of God? Not canon? What?

 

[Ed Edwards]

The real question is WHAT DOES BROTHER THINKINGSTUFF think that 'invalid' means?


BTW, I voted for more than one item.
I can't check the voting, lest I be voting again.

Evidently the rule is that one can vote for one-to-ten items, even cancel votes, if one does it before one hits the VOTE button. Once VOTE it hit, the vote is made. One can only hit the VOTE BUTTON once.

If one thinks voting is complicated, one should try making a GOOD poll (practice makes perfect - people will tell you how you 'blew it'.
