Oddbean new post about login | logout @97954ff7 The dude was captured by KJV only garbage. That has exactly zero implications for the reliability of the NASB. Again, every argument in that video was shredded by James White in the King James Only Controversy book. Best read it sooner rather than later, I know it will clear things up for you.
@f0140f36 I know but was not James White employed by the people who made the LSB? I'm not splitting hairs, just trying to find the truth.
@97954ff7 So you'll listen to one guy who had something to do with the NASB but you won't listen to another guy why had something to do with the NASB? I don't believe White was consulted on the LSB but I could be wrong. Get past the personalities and examine the arguments. The book does that. It's not a character assassination of Jack Chick and other KJV onlyists, it's a refutation of their arguments.
@f0140f36 I think he was the main guy, no? It's not something to be dismissed regardless of the actual truth, if he's trying to tell the truth. Here is Heiser on the topic... https://youtu.be/XvedtFbNbkM?si=W-qCYxJOtN7SaL56&t=360 Here's a question: What is the best book of the Old Testament.... that the Jews read today?
@97954ff7 Logsdon was a "project member of the translation committee". He "interviewed some of the translators, sat with them, and even wrote the preface." Big deal. His KJO Onlyism is still false. https://www.chick.com/battle-cry/article?id=Bible-Translator-Says-Im-In-Trouble-With-The-Lord
@97954ff7 Best book in the OT that the Jews read today? I couldn't give you one, I haven't spoken with a Jew since I was in high school since one of my friends was a Jew.
@f0140f36 I live among the Jews in NY. They read Hebrew. I was interested in finding a Hebrew source with best translation from OT into English.
@97954ff7 "It's not something to be dismissed regardless of the actual truth, if he's trying to tell the truth." He thought he had been enlightened to the evils of the "catholic" manuscripts used on the NASB. That's all a lie, but he just didn't know better.
@f0140f36 Still not something to be dismissed even if he was wrong. Now on the Catholic part, I didn't know that as I don't know this story indepth (which is why I've relied on your direction). Are you sure the Catholic part wasn't true?
@97954ff7 KJV guys slander Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus as being "catholic" manuscripts, and therefore corrupt. They were written well before the Rome of today with all its trappings ever existed. It's a poor attempt at the genetic fallacy.
@97954ff7 There's a difference between dismissing an argument and refuting it. KJV Onlyism has no legs to stand on if you take a minute to think about what they're saying.
@97954ff7 Also, Heiser liked the ESV. That one's pretty good too. An ESV study bible was my first bible.
