"Re: Sandra Jean NASV"


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?"

- Dr. Frank Logsdon, Committee Member New American Standard Version

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.
