I do remember the sharing about Psalms and Proverbs and how David was in his soul or something and not in the spirit. There is a lot to detox from!
The other thing I keep thinking about is the Recovery Version of the bible. There are a lot of differences in the word choice. Like 1 Timothy 4:16 - Watch your life and doctrine closely...in th RV Take heed to yourself and to your teaching. - so 'doctrine' is changed to 'teaching' because 'doctrine' (in the LR) is a bad thing. It makes my head hurt to think about how much WL put a spin on the word of God. I listened to a commentary from Jeff Riddle regarding the recovery version. This is the link to his blog which is basically the audio transcribed. http://www.jeffriddle.net/2017/02/wo...-recovery.html
He was confued about the copyright thing and not being able to quote it without written permission. He addresses the footnotes and the 'crystallization' of the bible. Riddle states that he's a little bothered by the words "consummation" and "crystallization"' of 2,000 years of study. Of course there's more to his review, but it helped me a lot. |
Regarding the RecV, there is another version very similar to it called the
World English Bible, or WEB.
Both are updates to the ASV 1901 version, which is an excellent translation, but the language is almost 120 years old. So the WEB is a great update to the ASV, with minor improvements. The WEB and the RecV are very similar.
Can you guess which one is free to the public?
