Top Comments of this video!! :3
I'm not angry or freaked out over the title of your video, which as always, is great!
My thought though is we tend to have these "translation wars", with everyone picking their favorite translation, which is perfectly fine.
But what tends to happen then is some people more or less belittle or put down another translation, and is that what we should be doing in fellowship with one another?
We are so blessed in this nation with our many fine and scholarly translations. We can have these comparisons. But in other parts of the world, this isn't nearly the case. They are just happy to read God's Word.
And in my opinion, pride enters the arena, as we sometimes tend to be critical of a certain translation which, that for someone, is their preferred one that brings them joy in reading the Bible.
It's fantastic that, with all of these choices, you are educating us with the strengths and history of a certain translation. I am certainly enjoying these videos.
My only suggestion is that you more frame it as "a comparison between this and that" or "reasons why you might prefer this over that".
Using words like "better than" or similar, although a great attention grabber, is better left unused.
Just my opinion though. I hope everyone has a great weekend and God Bless!!=)

Tim, that Phillies hoodie is straight fire bro. Where'd you pick that up? I like that you did dueling segments on this topic. This is kind of like the Schuyler vs Allan debate....passionate feelings, good points made by both sides, but in the end, this is not a winnable debate, just good fun opinionating. Keep up the good work.

It's strange, but I've always encountered people who where negative toward the nasb for various reasons. When I was younger I didn't live in an area with Christian bookstores and most people would have a kjv/NKJV or niv. Whenever people mentioned nasb they talked like it was so hard to understand and everyone always told young people then the niv was clear, read it. Then one day I picked up an nasb and it just clicked with me. I feel like esv iw almost distracting. But it's always seemed strange to me how often I've encountered some pretty negative views of the translation.

Love this so much because I was wondering why being I grew up on KJV and it were hard for me to understand and then I got into the NKJV and I love love that translation but I’m draw to the ESV and I didn’t know why but this video explains why and as I read my NKJV I have a ESV side by side and they use the same language usage as the KJV just in English which is why I have grown a love for the ESV. Thank you for this video and your right it is widely used

Thanks for this video.I LOVE the ESV.I actually have the very first edition of the ESV, before it was first updated, though I have the latest editions too.That's how long I have been using it, and I have never regretted it.As for the notion that it leans toward Calvinism, that is NOT true.I am not a Calvinist, and I have been using it for years, but I do not plan to ever become a Calvinist because of using the ESV, or for any other reason.For as long as I have used it, I have yet to find the places where it actually supports Calvinism.The fact is that you can use just about any Bible version to support just about any theological view point if you really want to.Calvinists did not start to exist when the ESV came along.Some use the NASB, and even the NKJV.Not that I have anything against Calvinists.I rather admire their devotion to the word of God.The ESV is a very scholarly, accurate translation, which is why I think Calvinists are drawn to it.The bottom line is that people from all theological persuasions use the ESV.As usual, your insights with regard to these matters are highly appreciated sir.God bless you.

I've used the ESV at times, but still prefer my NKJV. I use the NASB occasionally, but used to (years ago) use it exclusively. Recently bought an updated NASB and use it now, sometimes just for reading mostly. Is there that much difference between the old NASB and the recent new one? Just wondering, because I haven't noticed a huge difference?

I like both ESV and NASB. I am studying the ESV study Bible from Crossway, but my next purchase for reading will be the Schuyler Quentel NASB 1995 Bible. I also often read them side by side using Bible app or Blue Letter Bible where I can see the Greek. Thanks for both of these comparison videos.

Great review. I'll be waiting for your correction video. 😆
One thing I'll definitely agree on is the editions. Crossway has the greatest catalog of any publisher/translation. I wish and hope Nasb would follow suit. The amount of options for the ESV is amazing. But other than that, we all know NASB is the greatest English translation ever 😊❤️
