To the issue of women, let me say this, Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. In my humble view, if men loved their wives as the Word says, no woman would have a reason to worry that if they submitted that they would be hurt by their husband, if you know somebody loves you with Godly love, they are not going to abuse or violate the trust of the woman. Marriage is a partnership, the man includes and discusses decisions with his wife, and while the husband does have the final say, yet he values his wife opinion and takes it into account seriously. In a Godly biblical marriage, the wife has nothing to fear from being submissive.

[@ericsmith5919]

That's a very convenient position, for the one receiving the submission.

[@Luum81]

I think, double check this, that the word submissive is not meant in the way we hold it today. This submissive is more along the lines of perhaps a lower ranked officer acknowledging the seniority and leadership of a higher ranked one while still having their say and speaking up. Probably a clumsy way of putting it but that's the best I can come up with at the moment.

[@gruv2nz]

I noticed in the new NIV version that everywhere it says "man" or "mankind" they replaced it with "people". And everywhere it says "dear brothers", they replaced it with "dear brothers and sisters". I don't know if that's good or not, but it's starting to drift from the original connotation in my opinion. I don't like it that much.

[@elisefoad2326]

Though I haven't seen the New NIV, based on your examples, that variation is more to do with changes in language usage over time than with trying to manipulate the word of God. Historically "man" could be used to mean a individual male person or it could be a reference to the whole of humanity. In the same way "brother" was used to refer to a male sibling, a male relative in general or it could be used to refer to anyobe you have dealings with. Modern English doesn't do this so much, and with the recent focus on gender awareness and associated agendas has largely fallen out of favour altogether. By making these adjustments would be to keep the text correct in line with modern usage of language. E.g. if the scripture were: man shall not live by bread alone ... the scipture was never intended for only men and changing "man" to "people" keeps the passage in line with modern usage of language. Historucally, this has been done previously in other ways in transaltions like the NIV when grandson has been substitute for son's son, or changing measures to modern equivalents. Changes we need to be aware of are those that change the meaning of the scripture. These are dangerous and against scripture and the truth of God

​@@garrygrahamI use the NLT myself, and have read KJV, NKJV and NIV. I even tried diving into The Message Bible but that one was far too wishy-washy. Which version do you believe is 'the one'?

[@garrygraham]

@ there is no 'one'. But there are a range of better versions. Word-for-word translations tend to be more reliable, e.g. KJV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, NET, LSB. Modern versions like ESV, NET and ESV tend to be better because they have had access to early manuscripts discovered after the old translations like the KJV were written. Thought-for-thought versions like NLT might be nice for easy reading but no good for study. And there are serious issues with many, including the NLT. Paraphrases like the Message and Passion 'translation' are of little value for understanding Scripture.

Just as nature shows us countless expressions of divine beauty, humanity's varied viewpoints can enrich our understanding of each other and the sacred. True connection comes from listening with an open heart - moving beyond surface opinions to understand each person's deeper story. We don't need to agree on everything to respect and care for one another. Perhaps this acceptance of our differences, guided by faith, is what allows genuine love to flourish.

7:15 ouch! Or should I say, touché!

We sinned in Adam? The Bible says: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that "all" "have sinned:" - Romans 5:12

Sounds like this version would fit the "woke" culture which we are thoroughly aware is so unlike the Kingdom of Heaven. So will avoid this NIV translation.

Careful whose influence you accept and/or who you admire.

[@janae6524]

Trying to reconcile their beliefs onto The Word instead of allowing The Word to change their beliefs. This is disturbing.

[@AutocorrectPrimer]

Why should anyone be surprised by this. Zondervan used to brag that it bought the Church of Satan's printing pressed to print the NIV. We must understand that the Bible tells us that Satan will discuss himself as an angel of light.

Salvation comes by revelation, I remember I used to read the Bible before being saved and used it as a weapon, but when the H Spirit opens your eyes you open your mouth to confess the Lord and He gives us a new heart,He will lead his sheep's and we will listen.

Love the video but the ESV is nearly as bad. It's hard to believe we're in 2025, and still only one Bible in the English language. Praise God for the King James translators.

[@markdurdle7710]

KJV is a fairly good translation for it’s time, but it isn’t perfect. With the way some things are translated, it is clear they had their king in mind and maybe thinking how he would react to certain verses. For example John 14:2 doesn’t actually say mansions in the original text.

[@CAHiredGun]

@markdurdle7710 The example provided is not a valid one. In Early Modern English, "mansion" carried the meaning of: "An individual habitation or apartment within a large house or group of buildings." Thus, "In my Father's house are many mansions." It is correctly translated into EME, and is done so more specifically than is possible in modern English, which is often the case in the KJV. The fundamental difference between the KJV and modern versions, however, and the one that gives the KJV precedence over the overwhelming majority of modern translations, is the fact that the KJV is translating a completely different textual basis (the Traditional/Received Text of the Reformation) from modern Bibles (the Critical Text of 19th century theological liberalism).

Thanks a lot for doing this.. appreciate it so much!

[@jimhodge7257]

Thank you for spreading the truth and warning us of this

[@ranjitfmanuel]

Shame on Zondervan

[@philosophicallogic]

This was really educational, thank you for sharing their perspective with us, it's definitely not a study Bible I would want to get.

[@nickspitzley8539]

Thanks, sister, for the review. This is concerning for sure.

[@EddieFox]

Couldn't be worse than the Queen James bible?? The bible is a superbly designed machine that only works if each and every word is authenticity and accurately produced with no 'helpful man made commentaries' to confuse. God means what He says and says what He means. Period.
