Sandra,
Thanks for responding to my posts (part
1) (part
2) (part
3).
I'd suggest it is circular reasoning that says, "Psalm
102 is about the holocaust, therefore whatever version I read that I think
agrees the most with that interpretation is the real version of the Bible."
Let us rather be humble and not "correct" God's words in the King James Bible
- believing them as written,
whether or not they make any sense to us (yet).
The NASB really is not
the "best" Bible, as one defector from its secret group of translators has
confessed, "I'm in trouble with the Lord."
He was under spiritual condemnation for using spurious texts to alter the
words of God, and he repented publically. In fact, Dr. Frank Logsdon
called the NASB a "satanic deception"
!
Read what he wrote:
"I
must under God denounce every attachment to the New American Standard Version.
I'm afraid I'm in trouble with the Lord...We laid the groundw! ork; I wrote
the format; I helped interview some of the translators; I sat with the translator;
I wrote the preface. When you see the preface to the New American Standard,
those are my words...it's wrong, it's terribly wrong; it's frightfully wrong...I'm
in trouble;...I can no longer ignore these criticisms I am hearing and I can't
refute them. The deletions are absolutely frightening...there are so many.
The finest leaders that we have today haven't gone into it [new versions of
Hort and Wescott's corrupted Greek text] just as I hadn't gone into it...that's
how easily one can be deceived...Are
we so naive that we do not suspect Satanic deception in all of this?"

Follow here a link to
compare the New American Standard with the Authorized Version (King James
Bible), and you will see many verses where the changes are "poision":

The NIV committee & /advisors also included questionable characters. Homosexuals,
Roman Catholics, Unitarians, and others where among this group (i.e., Virginia
Wollencot, Marten Woudstra, - and Cardinal Martini, SJ - [i.e., a Jesuit!]
was editor of the underlying Greek text used by both the NIV and NASV).
No one defected from the King James Bible
committee in 1611!
Now regarding Psalm 102, your interpretation is that it applies to the Jews
who went through the Holocaust. That is an interesting application, and you
did not need to denigrate the King James Bible to reach this conclusion -
it seems to fit what the chapter says.
However, verse 10 in the New American Standard version says "you
have cast me away."
That flatly contradicts Romans 11:1-2 "Hath
God cast away his people?...God
hath not cast away his people which he foreknew."
Verse 10 in the King James Bible is correct: it says God "cast
down" - not cast away! This agrees with Romans 11.
So the "poision" one would swallow here from the NASV is its promotion of
"replacement theology" in this verse - but this is wrong because God will
one day return to fulfill all ! of his promises that he made personally to
the Jews (Ezekiel 20:33).
In Luke 4:8 the NASV omits entirely, "Get thee behind me, Satan."
Now who do you think was behind that deletion?! The King James includes it.
