Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) - Dr. Abner Chou, Dr. William Varner, & Jason Beals - Q1 - 2023

[@annamo6927]

I am a member of a King James only church but I read (secretly) the LSB all the time! I really enjoy it👍 My pastor is a TR only believer, and he is a good man and pastor and I respect him so that I don't fuss in the church about translations.

[@NoProb4Rob]

You are wise to have kept it too yourself. When I was saved in 1990, long before the internet, I was in a church which wasn't KJV only but close to it, and our church associated with other churches/pastors who were KJV only. I began to read the NKJV, comparing it to the KJV. It took me a long time to trust another translation. What helped me was our church statement of faith, which we accept upon becoming members. It states that we believe the original manuscripts written by Moses, David, Paul etc were inspired. I respect that you honour your pastor headship and church's unity.

[@sepehrnafezi6572]

I am very happy of having this wonderful bible in my life. And Learning from it in my whole lifetime. Thank you 🙏🏻 for everything you did. ❤

[@geraldreineke1348]

i have used the NASB for many years and now locking at the LSB Bible I like it one other Bible I often look at is the good old KJV the Lord saved me way back in September1969 i am not a preacher or teacher as such but i have done both now with the LSB Bible I am enjoying the clear understanding of it

[@davidrobinson5180]

Abner is brilliant. And he is at his best when he is in teaching/explaining mode.

[@jhowdle]

Yeah I love to look at the footnotes to see optional wordings, variants or any other * helping understand the text better. Appreciate the attention to detail for all who were involved in this project.

[@Beafree1975]

I just ordered both the two column and the reference bibles. The NASB pre 1995 edition with the Thees and thous was the one I was using. I used it for many years until I switched to ESV because that is what our church is using. I've always missed the NASB. I love what the LSB is done with the NASB and can't wait to get my hands on them.

[@aaron3890]

Dr. Chou's comments around 39:00 on the distinction between titles for God and His name were excellent!

[@sterlingvanderwerker2856]

Good men helping Christians, and notably all men, to better understand the Scriptures. I am glad we sent both our daughters to TMC,.. (AKA TMU ;-)

[@MotoBmx01r]

I appreciate all the information and feel that the work done with the LSB is honorable and the quality of the Bibles excellent. I just purchased the Reference Bible with footnotes edition and am excited to own it. Not only that but I hope my Church would adopt it instead of the KJV that we currently use. However, it could cause a problem I suspect so I haven't even suggested it -due to reverence for Christ.

[@max-ip8xg]

Waiting on the study Bible for sure this November yea!!

[@mdb831]

Macarthur Study LSB is a must.

[@blueflame7638]

Waiting for it still as well :)

[@Matthew-307]

They got it on preorder rn.

[@max-ip8xg]

AMEN WAITING until 11/24!! ☝️✝️♥️📖♥️🙏🏻

[@julifer9211]

The fact that we only have 200 plus likes and millions of christians is not a good sign... It's been 3 months... I'm giving my like 🔥❤️🙏 glory to God!!! Praise be to God the living one 🙏

[@craigime]

most Christians don't even know about this translation

[@curated_euphoria_experience]

maybe because they didnt even get the name jacob right after their mission statement "The interpreter, teacher, and pastor have the goal of understanding what the text means, the translator is to provide them with what the text says. Consistently, the goal of this translation is to be a window into the original text. Within that goal, this revision has focused upon accuracy and consistency."

[@red58impala]

Interesting conversations. I think I'll be purchasing the prayer scripture book soon. I could use a little assistance in that area. Two editions I'd love to see become available at some point: First, an audio Bible. I love to listen to the audio of whatever Bible I'm reading. It helps me stay focused. Two, I'd love to see a nice reader's edition. A simple single-column paragraph format with no chapter/verse numbers, notes, references, etc... Just a nice clean text to sit down and read. Crossway made a really nice set as did Bibliotheca. I like them because I don't get distracted by the chapter/verse numbers and I tend to spend more time reading instead of setting arbitrary limits based on numbers of chapters/verses to read.

[@DipsyDoodleDaisy]

I can completely relate. Listening while reading along is extremely helpful. ☺️

[@afterdarkness-light]

Agree on both points!

[@ejwoods2457]

I’ve been using the LSB daily since November 2022. I’m currently using for a read the Bible in a year reading plan, but I also use more than that. I already have 3 hard copies. 😂 My brown Shamar Goatskin copy is a treasure to me. I’ve been utilizing the Scripture journals as well and I really find them useful for doing good exegesis and exposition. The consistency and concordance of the translation has assisted me in understanding numerous times where other translations did not. 1 Corinthians 2:10-14 is a great example. No other translation does what you guys do with “the depths of God” and it brings a lot of clarity to the text.

[@SAMCHICLA]

When will the LSB study Bible with the red letter edition be available?

[@elisdeen8611]

The double column which you brought out with footnotes would sell like pancakes.

[@JoshuaTheLeast]

I would like to switch to the lsb translation but I feel like the design and marketing of the translation are a problem thus far. 1. Most of the Bible’s available are too big and lack footnotes or references. 2. Although the price you pay for what you receive as in quality is very reasonable, I’d prefer less cost even if it means lower quality paper and binding and more affordability. 3. Accessibility. The translation needs to be accessible at multiple retailers and currently this seems limited and this is a problem that compounds the cost and reluctance of new users. I’d most like to see a compact reference bible in the 8 point type set if possible or a Two column reference that’s thin and easy to carry and use. I know everyone has their preferences but I hope someone can use this feedback. I love the translation but I don’t feel like it’s in a format that would invite me to use it everyday because I have other bibles in translations that are just easier to carry to a bible study or to carry to work and read on a lunch break. Finally, I will say that my favorite bibles, the ones I find myself using more than the rest seem to be thin, paper with a rougher texture because the pages are easier to turn. My intention is not to criticize or attack the workman, I sincerely desire this translation to succeed, so I pray that my feedback as a singular consumer may be of some use to you. God bless.

[@terencealbertmcbain8041]

Thinking that I will need to purchase the5 new LSB for sure.

[@thabomotsoene6111]

Would like to have LSB bible too, I'm in South Africa🇿🇦

[@sarahjesusisgod]

Please make the five solas edition in a color besides black like a British tan or a nice green that doesn’t get mistaken for black but isn’t primary green either. Purple is also nice.😊

[@lykagonzales4152]

💞

[@BrassyTack]

Why have previous LSB editions prior to the ICR =not= included footnotes?? As the translators point here, they are integral to the translation.

[@paulkeith4837]

I love the LSB but I have a few suggestions. Where do I make them? Also, my Korean made Goatskin ICR is NOT EVEN CLOSE to my ALLAN and other Goat Skin bibles. I still love the translation and recommend it to to others.

[@TheSlaveofJesusChrist]

I only ask that “only begotten” be updated to “only” or “unique,” since they are the accurate translations of monogenēs. Aside from that, it's the best translation we have.

[@Beafree]

Honestly it would always Irritate me to see LORD then read in the foot notes "YHWH" I would always think "If that's what its supposed to be there then why isn't it?!" So when I heard that the LSB had switched that change I was sold. I have already put in an order for a LSB bible.

[@joelhamilton6720]

I would like to here more from the other older men

[@GordonA-Jr]

How do you know when ordering a new LSB, say the handy size, that it is a first edition or one with the new refinements?

[@jakeham4017]

Plan for LSB study bible?

[@max-ip8xg]

Yes 11/24

[@MattWard-ct1fc]

Please release an Interleaved Edition with cross references.

[@Giancarlo_1997]

how heavy is the bible compared to the MacArthur study bible premier collection NASB95?

[@elisdeen8611]

Think Quintel.

[@luckssj]

How does this LSB compare to KJV?

[@cameronsnodgrass5883]

The immature teenage boy inside of me couldn’t help but let out a little chuckle at 33:47 when the term “crop duster” is mentioned. But the definition for what it is makes a lot more sense for what that term/word is used for in reference of these modern times😂

[@mgp-bct7723]

When the study 📖 Bible is going to come out?

[@max-ip8xg]

11/24

[@dovonovich]

I’d appreciate a red letter edition sometime (of the ICR). Keep up the great work!

[@craigime]

it needs a bigger font... at least a 12 point font

[@MotoBmx01r]

They do offer a Giant Print Edition

[@connermarone]

Did you all not put Elohim for God for a reason? In the OT?

[@craigime]

cuz it means God?

[@SaneNoMore]

Just what you want to hear about a translation being introduced, “We are under strict deadlines”…. SMH.

[@HearGodsWord]

Do you have a problem with deadlines?

[@mynameispablo164]

Yeah... five or so translators rushed it out in under a year. Not the sort of standards which which will really leave a legacy.

[@SaneNoMore]

@@HearGodsWord I have a problem with biblical translators being rushed. Their work is entirely too important to not give them all the time they need to insure the work is of the highest standards possible.

[@HearGodsWord]

@@SaneNoMore there are always timescales and deadlines when it comes to publishing. I didn't hear any of them mention rushing. 🤷

[@SaneNoMore]

@@HearGodsWord In several previous videos they mention multiple times the long hours, lack of sleep and general stress of doing this on top of their normal schedules. I am enjoying the translation and have purchased 2 premium versions (the first edition and this one) but still I think it’s always a bad idea to rush translations.

[@hammerbarca6]

Calvinism is exported (exegeted) out of it! Not imported 🤪

[@Matthew-307]

One thing they got wrong in this video; outside column references ARE DEFINITELY a sin. 😂😂😂

[@kylec8950]

Add more variant readings, BYZ Text/TR (should have used the BYZ as the base text). More editions with the footnotes and but more literal readings in the actual text! It's annoying the same old mistranslations (burnt offering, grain tribute, atonement, world, etc) of the same words occur but hey, no translation is perfect. Not interested in hearing MacArthur's heretical dispensationalism in my bible either. Still my favorite translation- keep going!

[@lawrencestanley8989]

Heretical Dispensationalism? Have you taken the time to read his book, "Christ's Prophetic Plans?" In it, he Biblically supports the position that he and so many others hold to.

[@kylec8950]

@@lawrencestanley8989 No I have not and would never reduce myself to it. Dispensationalism, classic dispensationalism at least IS a heresy for it postpones Christ reign, divides God's people into two-instead of the one new man the Scripture's plainly teach. Teaches that God blesses Israel according to the flesh, even though they openly deny him- totally opposed to the Scriptures and other unbibically teachings.

[@lawrencestanley8989]

@@kylec8950 Ah, then yours is the position of willful ignorance.

[@kylec8950]

Um no. I literally just told you why I'm not interested in the diapensational heresy.

[@lawrencestanley8989]

@@kylec8950 Right. Whatever it was that you described, it isn't Dispensationalism...
