Why the fuck would anybody make logos for old-ass Bible translations look like women's perfume brand logos?
>No Douay-Rheims
>>18416899he states in the video that the RSV was the first ecumenical bible to unite Protestants( Who used the KJV) and Catholics( Who used the Douay-Rheims). Catholics still use the RSV today in the form of the RSV-CE or RSV-2CE. Also apparently there is a ESV-CE and a NLT-CE as well
>>18417218>ESV-CEI have one of these, which is the current standard Bible for use in Catholic churches in the UK.Only funnily enough, on both the blurb and in the introduction it repeatedly refers to the deuterocanonical texts as "the apocrypha", which obviously Catholics consider a false / inaccurate label for those texts. Kind of a funny little faux pas.
Is CSB the simplest you can go before the message is completely lost? Got a friend that doesn't read much but wants to start reading the Bible.
>>18417724ESV is simplest language while retaining the ideas, RSV is a step more precise in wording but make’s understanding it in english sometimes difficult.
English speaking Orthodox Christians generally use the NKJV
>>18417800That's mainly because the Orthodox Study Bible is the only real full Orthodox Bible in the English speaking market right now. Nobody has combined a good Septuagint translation with the Byzantine New Testament yet.
Not a Christian but out of sheer curiosity, which Bible translations would you say has the most progressive/liberal bias? And by contrast which Bible has the most conservative bias?I don't care whether it's literal or phrase for phrase, or if it's using thou Vs you.
>>18417862That actually has value and isn't weird one off niche community bible?Liberal: NSRV Updated EditionConservative: ESV or LSB.
>>18416899>No demonic canonically wrong translation of the bible created by the most novel evil corrupt illegitimate organization of the world.
>>18417924Are you talking about The Passion? The Message? The New World Translation? The Book of Mormon? Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures?
>>18417934The Douay-Rheims of course
>NLT in S tierHas to be trolling
Read the Bible as God intented. In Hawaiian Pidgin.
>>18416706World English Biblenot perfect but the best>open source for video game adaptations>tries to match originalsNobody in 2026 should pick up a paper codex like a woman most of the time. It's like showing up to the battlefield with no optics, just iron sights. Seriously, it's such a humiliation ritual and may it change soon but it just sucks having share a planet with 22 year old ALREADY FOSSILS

>>18416706>NIV and NLT on the same level as the KJV or even the ESVI didn't expect him to post a cringe compilation
>>18417800Ironic because it's missing all the Orthodox books
>>18417724>>18418173The BSB / MSB is pretty good now and it's also open-source
>>18418785>Dan McClellanIgnoring the fact you're making a troll post he took a pretty strange route through belief>Raised by a non-religious atheistic family, located deep in evangelical fundementalist redneck country, in West Virginia>Converts to Mormonism aged 20, moves to Utah, studies at and works for BYU>Ends switching to becoming as progressive and left wing as you can possibly be within the LDS before they kick you out>Made to quit teaching at BYU because of it >Make chuds seethe for being progressive and make leftists seethe by being MormonWhat is the end goal???
