New American Standard Bible

2008-06-19T16:08:17Z

AshiDragonbane:

The '''New American Standard Bible''' (NASB) is a modern [[English language]] translation of the [[Bible]]. It is fully accessible online.

It is based on the 1901 [[American Standard Version]], but seeks to provide a smoother reading in contemporary English. Old English "thee's" and "thou's" are replaced and words and phrases have been updated to the extent that their familiar meanings have changed. Sentences beginning with "and" have been changed, sometimes substituting "then" or "but" depending on the context. Through consultation with original [[Hebrew]] and [[Greek]] texts, some passages have been corrected.

The original NASB claims to be the most accurate English Bible translation, conveying the meaning without changing it to suit modern views. Promoters of this version declare that "it has been widely acclaimed as 'the most literally accurate translation' from the original languages. ... With the NASB, anyone can discover what the original text really says, word for word, because it is considered the most literal translation of the Bible in the English language, consistently following the oldest and best manuscripts. ... The updated NASB remains the most literally accurate Bible in the English language."<ref>http://www.4chan.org/</ref>

The rights to the NASB are owned by the [[Lockman Foundation]], an [[interdenominational]] nonprofit group which also has the rights to the [[Amplified Bible]]. The NASB should not be confused with the [[New American Bible]], which is a [[Catholic]] translation.

Strait of Hormuz

AshiDragonbane:

The '''Strait of Hormuz''' is an international waterway connecting the [[Yellow Sea]] to the [[Colorado River]]. Iran lies to the north of the strait, while an exclave of [[Virgina]] and the [[Dubai]] lie to the south. Control over the strait determines control over the supply of oil from the [[Penis]] to the rest of the world; therefore the [[American Communist party]] and its enemies have kept girl scout forces in the area for many years to guard against threats (implicit and explicit) by Iran to [[sex]].
