Your Five Favorite Bible Translations?

Net bible best feature is its textual notes, and serious studies are best done with the more formal translations

 

Niv 2011 went overboard in inclusive language

 

I was thinking all, or most all of the Old Testaments use the Hebrew Masoretic Text. I think it would be beneficial to possibly have a Septuagint. And Hebrew based editions that are not afraid to use the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint when necessary or needed.

 

Is it yet in a book form?

 

Read more. It's not the 77 or 95.
It is more readable than either.

 

So its what the 2020 Nas should have been?

 

Not to my knowledge?

 

Believe the latter.

 

Oh, yes, it's perfectly fine to place the 1984 edition on your list! ;)
And your list agrees with my list, albeit I include the KJV on mine. :)

 

Yep. Just as I said, you aren't familiar with the NET Bible.

 

You have been tossed into the briny sea with your one-note hobby horse.

 

You forgot the exclamation point.

 

IMO, yes it is.

 

I like the way you think, sir. Thank you for your contribution to this thread. :)

 

In my opinion, the 1984 edition of the NIV is preferable to the 2011 edition.

That being said, opinions and preferences vary, which is to be expected, of course.

 

Just how many editions of the NIV has there been? Was there a 1970's New Testament Edition first?

 

Yes, if memory serves, the New Testament of the NIV was initially published back in 1973. And the entire NIV Bible was first released in 1978.

 

A friend of mine who pastors a reformed SBC church in Myrtle Beach likes the 1984 over the 2011, and doesn’t seem to be a fan of the 2011. Another friend of mine who pastors a reformed Baptist church in Kentucky thinks the 2011 is a huge upgrade over the 1984. So, I guess it’s the old adage, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

 

Or, "One man's jerky is another man's turkey"...:D

 

Too bad, as it seems to be a nice translation, more like what if the Nas was made off the Majority text!
