MODERN BIBLE TRANSLATIONS – LESSON 13 OF 13

IDENTIFICATION OF THE VERSIONS

I will list here the version types for you. First, I will list the paraphrased versions which are not actual translations. Next, I will list the modern versions which are translations which alter the word by intentionally leaving out key verses and passages. Thirdly, I will list the translated versions which contain the full unaltered Word of God. Then there is one version I found that partially fits into both types of versions.

PARAPHRASED VERSIONS: NOT TRANSLATIONS

AMP – AMPLIFIED BIBLE

CEV – CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VERSION

MSG – THE MESSAGE BIBLE

TPT – THE PASSION TRANSLATION

GOOD NEWS FOR MODERN MAN

MODERN TRANSLATIONS, ALTERED (INCOMPLETE PERVERSIONS)

NIV – NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION

ESV – ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION

ASV – AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION

RSV – REVISED STANDARD VERSION

RV 1885 – REVISED VERSION

NLT – NEW LIVING TRANSLATION

TLV – TREE OF LIFE VERSION

CEV – CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VERSION

NET – NEW EVANGELICAL TRANSLATION

GNT – GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION

THE JERUSALEM BIBLE

COMPLETE TRANSLATIONS, TRADITIONAL AND MODERN

KJV – KING JAMES VERSION

NKJV – NEW KING JAMES VERSION

MEV – MODERN ENGLISH VERSION

YOUNG’S LITERAL TRANSLATION

Note: (The Young’s Literal Translation and the Modern English Version are found in Bible apps on your phone. Hard copies are extremely scarce.)

MODERN VERSIONS AND COMPLETE TRANSLATIONS

NASB – New American Standard Bible: 

This version is a blend of the previous both Modern Translations and Complete Translations. It passes the test on six of our nine verses and fails on three of them. It includes the six in parentheses and notes that they are not in other modern versions, but at least they are printed. It passes the test on John 3:16; Matthew 17:21; Matthew 18:11; Mark 11:26; John 5:3-4; and Acts 8:37. It fails on Colossians 1:14; Romans 8:1; and very critically 1 John 5:7-8.

If you are using a modern version, always be sure to cross reference it with the KJV or NKJV, or the rare MEV. Remember also that deep research into the original Greek or Hebrew word meanings are found in the Strong’s Concordance which is keyed only to the KJV. I know of no concordance for any of the modern translations.

Be blessed as you search into the deeper understanding of the Word of God.

NEW WINE

In Luke chapter 5:30 Jesus had been dealing with the Pharisees because they were murmuring that Jesus’ disciples ate with publicans (tax collectors) and sinners. They did not think it was right that he associated with these “low class” types of people. In their eyes they were not “good enough” to associate with. The Pharisees and scribes held to the traditions of men on everything they did. On the outside they looked clean, but on the inside, they were empty sepulchers bound by “old traditions.”

Jesus went on to tell them a parable about a new piece of cloth and new wine. He compared new wine with a new piece of cloth. If you have ever done any sewing, you know that you do not mix old well-worn fabric with new fabric, because it does not hold together well. It will rip. Then there is the wine. New wine must be put into new wineskins because the fermentation would cause the wine to swell, and the new wineskin could stretch. If they filled up an old wineskin with new wine, it would burst because it already had done all the “stretching” it was going to do.

Then he said in Luke 5:39, “No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, the old is better.” He was not talking about cloth and wine. He was talking about mankind. The scribes and Pharisees were bound up in their “old ways.” They could not fathom something new because the “traditions” had been carried down for centuries. They would not change. They would always think their old way was better.

Through this parable, Jesus was indicating that salvation creates a “new” person. Then the wine, which represents the Holy Spirit fills that person up and as they grow, they expand as they grow in the knowledge of the Word of God and as Holy Spirit leads them into truth.

The Scribes and Pharisees thought they had the “truth” but even when the “Truth” was standing in front of them (Jesus) they could not see it. They were bound up in their old wineskin. If we want to grow in Christ, we must shed those religious traditions, and be filled up with the Holy Spirit. Then and only then will we grow. 

You cannot put new wine into an old bottle. (Wineskin.)

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

6-16-2022

The interruption that’s come your way is not a denial; But it is only a delay. Therefore it’s time for you to rejoice and look for God's purpose in this interruption; And remember this too shall pass.

  Nation of Faith? HCC  

               A nation of faith. It used to be. Is it still here? 

                  What do we see? Look around and know, 

                  There is change for sure. Is the church speaking up? 

                  Are they quiet?  What’s the cure? 

                  The cure is Christ who holds the love. 

                  He is all truth from up above. 

                  Come to the Altar of your Church. 

                  Come give your life, take the cure. 

                  Repent and kneel and come to him. 

                  Don’t sit in the pew.  Don’t sit with all your sin. 

                  It won’t be long, and Christ will come. 

                  Be ready and waiting, for God’s only Son.
