@@MAMoreno Definitely. I know it's the way everything is going these days, but I really hated to see it happen to Logos.

@@saintsheepy6682 Using it with a more literal translation like those is definitely a great method. I suspect I may have gotten into TLB myself had I been around then but I've certainly appreciated its legacy as I regularly use the NLT. Enjoy those New Testaments!

@@ThriftStoreBibles Thanks! The first Bible translations I saw/grew up with were the NIV (1984 version) and NRSV.

That sounds like a very solid way to use this Bible, thanks for sharing your experience!

It's a fantastic reading Bible, and agreed I quite like the REB as well. And yes, the NEB is certainly unique in that passage!

That's interesting! I watch the Great British Bake Off every year and I've picked up on some entertaining language from it that I wouldn't hear on American shows.

I received one as a gift earlier this year and like it!

@@ThriftStoreBibles that's awesome, I'm planning to order one soon. Hopefully before or a little after Christmas. I like that if you order from them directly, they do free shipping if you're in the states.

@@harshwardhansingh6433 I know many have been published in Philadelphia by National Publishing, but I believe other publishers have been involved as well in other locations.

@@purpleey It does! The others have shorter definitions, especially the pocket dictionary.

Thanks for watching!

It was a lovely Bible! Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@RichieIsuppose The Gideons themselves are Protestants, however the Bibles they distribute contain the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs which are the same for both. Hope that helps!

@@ThriftStoreBibles yeah I git the new testament psalms and proverbs that catholic right thanks anyway

@@pauliverson6005 It's a great size for always having on hand!

@@Ipraypsalm50 It was a solid find, I was tempted to grab a lot of books that day, they were well stocked! Thanks for watching.

I'm glad it was helpful and I pray that this book will be a blessing! I still dearly love this little prayer book and actually still use it at times, especially now that life is quite busy with young children. Thanks for taking time to share this and God bless!

Sorry to hear that, good luck with your search!

@@ThriftStoreBibles Thank you for your encouragement. John Baillie spent a considerable amount of time in the USA and Canada, so I would expect that copies of this ought to be found in American and Canadian bookshops. For the moment I have had no luck in Edinburgh or Glasgow, but editions from 1949 seem to be readily available. What I could do is have my first edition re-bound. However, continue to search.

Thank you for watching!

You're welcome! I've ended up not making too many changes, other than modifying how I form some letters, which has made them easier to write and more legible. I still write with a "left hook". Getting rid of that would require me to change how I orient the paper when I'm writing, and I found it too difficult to adjust for the limited amount of writing I do. But I'd definitely encourage them to work on breaking that habit now if they have it, that to me seems to have been the biggest issue and I wish I'd been aware of it when I was young. It makes it hard for me to write/draw without smudging and was very discouraging when I was a kid, especially since I didn't know I was doing it. Best of luck!

@@ThriftStoreBibles cool enough, thanks for the response, my son is enjoying the Tombow pencils you recommended too! Every little win helps!

@@Doubledig Thanks for watching! I'm quite fortunate that we have many wonderful thrift stores where I live.

@@jaynekuhns2001 They sold one when I built this, I just didn't want to spend the money on it!

I have way more than I get to really read to be honest, but it's good to have some that may be good references!

Ah, I thought the Agpeya sounded familiar but wasn't sure why, I bet it's because of Dale! Thought you'd appreciate a vintage pencil opening, I forgot to say in the video but it was 50 cents.

Very expensive indeed! I'm always excited to find books like that Harmony because I probably wouldn't buy it brand new. And it's usually supporting a worthwhile ministry like MCC so double win! Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@ThriftStoreBibles Yesterday I went to my local use bookstore and found a copy of "Studying the Synoptic Gospels" by E.P. Sanders for $5. I also got a good deal on some George Eldon Ladd books.

@@e.m.8094 Nice!

Yes... I refer to it as a translation multiple times in this video.

@@ThriftStoreBibles You called it a paraphrase at one point in the video. Glad to hear you consider it a translation.

@@captainnolan5062 I state the earliest edition paraphrases too much but recommend the 2nd edition and later revisions of the "translation".

That's a solid edition and the one I refer to when looking at the RSV. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you!

Definitely!

@@DogeDorado1351 Coincidentely I just picked one up this week at a little free library and it's also blue, in the ESV translation.

Why might someone use different types of hammers when building a house? A claw hammer makes for a terrible sledgehammer, and vice versa.

@MAMoreno I wonder, though, if the Bible is the Word of God, why don't they all say the same thing? I'm really curious about this. If history textbooks say different events happened in different ways, some are going to be wrong.

@@FOHguy I suppose it would depend on what you mean by "say the same thing." If you're talking about textual variants (places where ancient manuscripts read differently from one another), these variants don't really amount to saying that "different events happened in different ways." Instead, they typically reflect slightly longer or shorter readings of the same basic text. For instance, some ancient copies of Genesis directly quote Cain's words to Abel in chapter 4, while others don't. In either case, Cain kills Abel the same way. Maybe a copyist added Cain's line to round out the passage, possibly drawing upon an old oral tradition associated with the story. Maybe another copyist left it out by accident or had to rely on a worn scroll that was damaged in that spot. Subsequent generations do their best to address these minor transmission issues while recognizing that they are indeed minor. If you instead mean that two translations handle the same text in a different way, that's just the nature of translation. When you're bringing something into another language, you have to weigh how much you'll stick to the original language's syntax and how much you'll adjust it to make sense in the new language. Some translations favor sticking close to the original wording, while others favor making it sound natural to readers, but all translations do both to some degree. Inevitably, a translator who seeks to produce clear, idiomatic English will have to make a few interpretive decisions that a translator who prioritizes the source text's phrasing will not. The latter can settle for ambiguous, awkward wording, but the former cannot. And this is where the translator's own beliefs and biases may lead to small divergences in meaning between two versions. A simple example is to be found in 1 John 5.6. If you stick closely to the Greek wording you get what you see in the NRSVue: "This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood." That's pretty faithful to John's wording, but it's not particularly clear. So what did the writer mean? Well, we can look to two other translations to see the two most common understandings of this verse: - CEV: Water and blood came out from the side of Jesus Christ. It wasn't just water, but water and blood. - NLT: And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross-not by water only, but by water and blood. The CEV here assumes that the verse is alluding to the water and blood from the crucifixion, as described in John 19.34-35. The NLT instead takes it as a reference to two different events, both described in the Gospels. The overall meaning of this passage is the same regardless of this slight ambiguity, so it's not the biggest deal. Still, if you choose to consult the NRSVue, CEV, and NLT together in your study of the Bible, you'll get far more information on this verse than you would if you used the NRSVue, CEV, or NLT alone.

@@MAMoreno Thank you

Definitely!
