I'm no scholar, but I've bounced between a few versions over the years and reading them side by side has helped me catch things I'd skim past in just one. Translation arguments get heated fast, yet the heart of the message comes through in all of them for me. What keeps me grounded is "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105), whichever version is in my hands.

Amen to that!
You are 100% correct.
I even use a bible in a different language...
even THAT helps without having to run to the greek...
which none of us really understand anyway.

It seems we understand what we want to understand
and do not understand what we do not want to understand.

No matter the version.

Good question.
I thought he meant the LDS, but that would be the version that the Mormons use, as you've stated.
However, no other translations are derived from that one...so yes, good question.
Most probably he meant, the LSB - refers to the Legacy Standard Bible, a translation released in 2021 that is a revision of the New American Standard Bible (NASB). So if it is the LSB that he meant, his statement is false, as the modern version predate this Bible.

  • The NIV (1978) and ESV (2001) are independent translations that draw directly from ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts.
  • The NET (New English Translation, 2005) is also an independent translation focused on accuracy and readability.
  • The LSB itself is derived from the NASB (1995 edition), not the other way around.

I didn't know where to post this video but Bible versions have usually been debated so put it here for you to see what is coming out.

I'm not KJO; but, that change in Rev. 21:6 is horrendous (omitting Rev. 20:5 is bad too); and, entrusting textual criticism to A.I. is the epitome of unbelief!

.
The gold standard for the woke LGBT+ movement is the "Queen James" version. All references to homosexuality being sin have been removed....true story
Rather, it's the new (and copyrighted) versions that have removed those references.

You mean that God has written a Brand-New Bible so that we can just toss the old bibles into the WPB.

Or are you simply suggesting that there will soon be another translation for us to be mislead by.

Looking at different translations can be helpful ... but it should be remembered that the manuscripts modern versions are primarily based on (Sinaiticus & Vaticanus) omit the story of the woman caught in adultery, and the longer ending of Mark's Gospel.
For me, this means I have some reservations about the reliability of those manuscripts and modern versions of the Bible.
