Summary: Excellent Version; The Truth of God's Will
Review: Unfortunately the ever present paranoia of authenticity within the different translations of the Holy Scriptures will not only prove erroneous, but self depriving of the fullness of God's grace. Seeking the most genuine and authentic translation of the Scriptures is an impossible task and certainly not what Holy Scriptures wants us to do regardless of translation. God's promise of the Holy Spirit to those who receive Jesus; leading us to ALL TRUTH is the ultimate protection against the error of human translation or interpretation. Christians not having faith in this infallible plan leave themselves at the mercy of such paranoia, and worse yet indirectly not trusting in God's sovereign power to lead us to the Truth if we are sincerely seeking it (Him). We must remember that it is God's will and power that is sovereign to "reveal" the truth, and not mere print in a book. The "paraphrasing" of Scriptures in the NLT is necessary for the times, and in no way radically alters the important doctrine set forth by previous translations, which we so dearly embrace as true Christians. The bottom line is that the NLT is an execellent source to develop one's relationship and understanding of their Creator, thus may we all continue to glory on with joy, love, peace and fulfillment in the name of Jesus Christ; Lord & Savior of all who believe."Not by might nor by power, but by my SPIRIT, says the LORD ALMIGHTY." Zechariah 4:6
