Evaluating the New International Version 2011
An in-depth look at the updated translation
Rodney J. Decker September 2, 2011
Here is a snip from Dr. Decker's article:
"There are far more idiomatic,functional equivalents in the ESV than most people would ever suspect based on the popular perception of this 'essentially literal' translation."

I like the NKJV, ESV, NASB, KJV and the Geneva. If it has to be one of your two. KJV.

You better revise your spelling among other things before trying to make a point about the NIV's English.
That's funny!

The Y-man says a lot of "funny" things. Most are unintended. That makes them even more humorous.

true, but at least I can look at an issue without letting my feelings get in the way!

Just your lies and slander.

Guess there must be a lot of us here on the Board though doing that on the Niv 2011, as seems many here also believ with me the revision was better left undone, and just better to have stuck wih the 1984 edition!

Rippon, you unchristian like behavior toward those who disagree with you is reprehensible! I will read whatever version I want to regardless of what you think. I don't know why you are so obsessed with the NIV like you are, but no KJVO is any more overboard than you.
As to the question, I use both. I have a leather 1984 NIV Study Bible, which I like. Unfortunately, on my Kindle the NIV Study Bible is only available in the 2011 NIV, so I rarely use it. My favorite overall is the NKJV which I think is superior to either of the NIVs.

Have I forbidden the reading of translations other than the NIV! LOL!

I expressed the opinion that the NIV in its updated form is superior to that of the 84 edition. The Y-man spouts but rarely answers questions. He doesn't actually read what he complains about.

What's the matter? Is it too Calvinistic for you Robert?:smilewinkgrin:

No, that's not it. I just don't like it as well as the 1984, but like I said, I generally read the NLT and use the NKJV for study. It's just my preference.

The best version is the one that you feel the most comfortable with and enjoy reading and studying the most.

Folks,Just your lies and slander.
This thread is a perfect example of one poster demeaning about one dozen posters at once. And everyone takes the bait. The post inflames a person, and they respond. And Drippon lobs one back, so the circle continues.
When one has an obnoxious person on the TV or radio making a speech, the best thing to do is turn the off button. The off button even shuts up Rush Limbaugh.
Drippon is here only to destroy civil discussions, it does not matter what subject. If it means belittling those who read the KJV, then that is what he does. If it means defending a murderer to cause a stir, that is what he does.
The NIV, KJ, ASV, NKJ, etc are all good. They all tell the story about salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. A person who calls others liars, slanderers, false witnesses, etc is usually just what he accuses others of being. Look at his posts, never one thing good to say about anyone. Use the off switch and quit feeding it. There is no evidence of even a trace of fruits of the Spirit.
No, that's not it. I just don't like it as well as the 1984, but like I said, I generally read the NLT and use the NKJV for study. It's just my preference.
MANY here and in the church have felt same way concerning the Niv, better wa the 1984 edition!
And i also like the NKJV, along with the Nasb...
Funny, I never saw a bible aversion as either calvinistic or not, just if it was a good one or not!

Have you looked in a mirror lately sn?
