→‎Another reply to Andy Schlafly: which matters more, keeping out pro-abortion (and other liberal) influences in modern translations, or worrying about how much expertise a Greek scholar has?
Line 236: Line 236:  
:An aside, I was wanting a conservative Bible translated by competent translators which combined the translation methodologies of word for word translation (formal equivalence) and thought for thought (dynamic equivalence) in an optimal manner, but I didn't think there was such a mixed approach translation. Due to this discussion which I endeavored to keep cordial yet adequately express my objections, I found that such a translation exist and it is the [[Holman Christian Standard Bible]]. I am looking forward to examine this Bible.  Andy, I hope there are no hard feelings and I did endeavor to keep the discussion cordial, but I do feel that the Bible deserves to be translated well and I don't think the approach this project is taking will produce a well translated Bible.

::I did some preliminary research of the [[Holman Christian Standard Bible]] and figured if the Southern Baptists were involved in the translation, it would probably be a conservative translation. Conservapedia takes issue with the Bible (accuses it of having some liberal twists) and it appears as if Conservapedia's most serious charge against the Holman Christian Standard Bible mistranslating the Bible used a citation which is a dead link (the allegation that the daughter was dead already rather than near death). If anyone wants to better document the article, I would be interested in further investigating this matter. I couldn't readily find any citations easily about this matter.
