This vital works shouldn't stop with the Bible: as the new translation informs us, "great" is now a synonym of "good," although it can also be one of "big;" perhaps we should change "How Great Thou Art" to "You are SOOOOOOOOOO Big" so as not to sow confusion in the ranks.As you can plainly see, there is much work to be done.Kirk Skeptichttp://kirkskeptic.gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-86777401550418591072017-03-27T09:33:54.378-05:002017-03-27T09:33:54.378-05:00I haven't read the latest translation of which...I haven't read the latest translation of which you speak. I am skeptical at best. I wonder how the translators from different denominations can agree on anything, but I will let others study the matter. As for me, I will not even read the new translation. I will simply stick with the version I love, the NKJV and KJV. I know some Christians criticize these old versions as well, but at my old age of 72, I have no desire to read new translations. My Bible has side notes which I scribbled, underlined verses, and highlighted areas. And besides, it is still the word of God and faithfully interpreted.John Joseph Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596324816480709495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-78460004556229122017-03-27T06:37:01.252-05:002017-03-27T06:37:01.252-05:00I'm afraid quite often it is simply a matter o...I'm afraid quite often it is simply a matter of more translations means more income and more slots for scholars.David Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966977894876326659noreply@blogger.com
