LSB, NASB 2020, NASB 1995: Three-Way Comparisons in Psalm 65 and Mark 4

December 18, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

With the recent release of the LSB text of Psalm 65,  we now have an opportunity to examine the LSB’s handling of an Old Testament passage in addition to the earlier release of the entire Gospel of Mark. Psalm 65 Within Psalm 65, a line-by-line glance through the highlights reveals that only a handful of […]

Legacy Standard Bible Gospel of Mark: Initial Observations

November 20, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

Wake up and smell the coffee. Wait, does John MacArthur drink coffee? Wake up and smell the…uh…Postum? Are the rest of you drinking Postum? There’s a new Bible translation coming, and it’s looking really promising. Unfortunately, the only major engagement the Legacy Standard Bible is getting from social media is from King James onlyists. Can we […]

NASB 2020 Review, Part 2 — Direct Comparisons in John, Hebrews, and Psalms

November 11, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

In part 1 of this NASB 2020 review, I dove a bit into major passages concerning gender, the Greek term doulos (slave), and the Hebrew term hesed, which is mostly translated as “lovingkindness” in the NASB 1995. In the time between part 1 and now, my wife gave birth to our fourth child (hence the delay) and the […]

NASB 2020 Review (and GIVEAWAY!), part 1 — Gender, Slaves, and Lovingkindness

October 16, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

I now have two copies of the recently released NASB 2020. I’ll give you a short preview of the physical editions, and then we’ll dig into the translation. The Lockman Foundation is selling two primary offerings: the Large Print Ultrathin edition and the Giant Print edition. I initially made the mistake of ordering the Giant […]

Lexham English Bible: Outdoing the NASB?

May 4, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

In my previous post, which concerned John MacArthur’s announcement of the new Legacy Standard Bible translation and the ever-impending NASB 2020 update, one point that seemed to gain much attention was the existence of the Lexham English Bible, a translation that already includes the distinctives John MacArthur touted in his announcement of the LSB: YHWH […]

Some Thoughts on the Legacy Standard Bible

April 15, 2020 by Garrett O’Hara

ESV meme with celebrity faces including Harambe and Charles Finney

Update (20 November 2020): I’ve posted my initial observations of the LSB Gospel of Mark here. If you haven’t seen the news by means of a video update from John MacArthur for his church (skip to 7:20 in the video above), there’s a new translation in the works called the Legacy Standard Bible. It promises […]

No Remorse: STTA!

“Convicted Payday Loan Mogul Scott Tucker Has Absolutely No Remorse,” declares a headline on Jalopnik. What did this guy do? Why does he have no remorse?

Psalm 119:17-20 — Open My Eyes!

Welcome to another pSaturday Psalm! This week we enter a new octet. Psalm 119:17 starts with the letter “Gimel.” One thing I realized for those who memorize this passage of scripture — when you’ve finished you’ll know the Hebrew alphabet! This octet continues the themes we’ve already seen in this psalm and drives home a key […]

Unfathomable Submission: STTA!

Something To Think About! When we study the Bible, we need to be very cautious about assuming things not stated in the text. Our best wisdom will fail us if we rely on it too much. But God has given us minds which are capable of intelligently asking questions of the text and using logic […]

Humans > Animals

I once made the mistake of commenting on Facebook when a local news station posted an article about animals being left behind during a hurricane. My comment was something along the lines of how unfortunate it was for those animals (dogs, cats and various other pets) but at least there weren’t people left behind. The […]
