ArchivedNIV Version changes day star to morning star!I agree that the real reason behind most of the objections found at the link boil down to "It isn't the KJV so it must be wrong." I agree. The test is whether the version is able to "make thee wise unto salvation." I got saved reading the RSV which is much worse than the NIV, so I know the RSV, and the NIV, are the word of God. However, they are not the best examples of English bibles. My 2 main objections to DE translations are, 1) it tends to blur the concept of verbal inspiration, and 2) the lends itself to more interpretation than translation (realizing that all translation involves interpretation). Again, the phrases are found in the texts the KJV translators were using. The validity of those texts is a whole different discussion. |
