Administrators Pastor Matt Posted October 22, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2021 Does anyone know anything about the new legacy standard bible? I guess it'll be available this fall. https://lsbible.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrotherTony Posted October 22, 2021 Members Share Posted October 22, 2021 I read some reviews on it, but I'm not truly sure if it will be all it's cracked up to be. Some of the people who've read the reviews and excerpts of the Bible itself love it. I'll have to reserve judgement until I know what it's like.

Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted October 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 23, 2021 I have no need, nor do I care about new bibles. The one I have has served me well since 1977. I had it rebound twice. Joe Chandler, swathdiver and 1Timothy115 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that it has updated study notes, not that there's anything new under the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm not changing Bibles, I try to be observant of what new Bibles are coming out so I can properly direct others when they ask me questions about what Bible should they use. I know I can honestly say to use the KJV as it's perfectly preserved, but I find I appreciate my KJV Bible more when I study study how other Bibles came to be.

I highly doubt it's motivated by $, they probably just feel like the NASB has some deficiencies and wished to correct them. I would be hesitant to ascribe ill motives when we don't know them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was translated to be a more conservative alternative to the 2020 NASB. I know that it's supposed to be a revision of the 1995 NASB. From what I've read it appears to support many of Macarthurs beliefs like his, obsession with the word "slave". I honestly don't see the point of making a new translation either. I do suspect that money is one of the factors too. I'm sure it is filled with Macarthurs personal beliefs and even though there was a team of scholars doing the translating they were all guys hand picked by John and I'm sure share, similar beliefs.

Members Russ Pittman Posted October 20, 2022 Members Share Posted October 20, 2022 Just another translation looking to hype the name of God as Yahweh. Jim_Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
