I have removed other threads on this topic because of a lack of charity. Remember, charity is of utmost importance to us here because threads can quickly end up becoming very uncharitable with the anonymity of the Internet.
Feel free to discuss translations, biblical history and scripture but please post charitably and do not attack Catholics or Catholic clergy.
Released on March 9, 2011, the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) is the culmination of nearly 20 years of work by a group of nearly 100 scholars and theologians, including bishops, revisers and editors. The NABRE includes a newly revised translation of the entire Old Testament (including the Book of Psalms) along with the 1986 edition of the New Testament.
The NABRE is a formal equivalent translation of Sacred Scripture, sponsored by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, using the best manuscripts available. Work on most books of the Old Testament by forty revisers and a board of eight editors began in 1994 and was completed in 2001. The 1991 revision of the Psalter, the work of thirty revisers and six editors, was further revised by seven revisers and two editors between 2009 and 2010. Work on the New Testament, begun in 1978 and completed in 1986, was the work of thirteen revisers and five editors.

The 1970 version of Isaiah 7:14 says “the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.”
Even if the translation can be argued to be more accurate, of what value is the phrase “the young woman shall be with child” in the verse?The new text refers to “the young woman” instead. It elaborates that the original Hebrew word, almah, may or may not signify a virgin.

Is it any wonder why people are leaving the religion in droves?
I hope this is better worded mr bay. As i don’t want to get this posted deleted as well.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Maybe sspx are onto something?

No amount of man-hours, scholarly effort, or credentials will ever move me away from the truth of the fulfillment of the words of the prophet Isaiah, made manifest in the very being of the Lord’s Handmaid. Mary, Virgin Queen of Heaven, can be none other than what she is…and always will be. Blessed be Her name…ever Virgin Mother of God…

there’s not many issues i get heated over but this is definitely one of them…
I’m reading the old 1986 version now and it is ridiculous in its need to cast doubt on any traditional Catholic understanding.
I remember a couple of years ago in a Catholic University with a feminist anti-Catholic (Catholic) Theology professor who when asked why the contemporary Jewish rabbi experts of 200 B.C. translated the word ‘almah’ as ‘virgin’ into the Septuagint, she replied …

- maybe they didn’t know the Greek words for ‘young girl.’
