yeah but by your logic if a bible is a bible who are you to tell the JWs that their NWT isn’t a bible?

Praised be Jesus Christ!
I would recommend the Douay Rhiems version, its the English Translation of the Vulgate, the NAB is the United State’s Lectionary text, not my favourite translation though, the RSV-CE is very readable, but based on protestant KJV 1611.

RSF:
A little history: we were the LA Angels for decades in the Pacific Coast League…then along came that carpetbagger from Brooklyn.
When they moved to Anaheim, the Orange County Register conducted a poll for the new name: it was OVERWHELMINGLY for Anaheim. The Old Cowboy thought California would be better (he was paying the bills). Disney Corp had it right (when they owned the Mighty Ducks, too) but that Arizona carpetbagger ('Artie" Moreno) comes from advertising and you know the rest.
The Angels won one world series in (to '07) 46 years.
How MANY stretches of 46 years have the Buffalo-Boston Beaneaters NOT won a world series?
We fans love our ANAHEIM Angels (at home games there are hundreds wearing ‘Anaheim’ away jerseys). And I lived in Tustin in Orange County, NOT Anaheim.

Thanks for the history lesson Mr. Southwell.
We won the first world series in the first year of the world series existence. It took you 46x longer. Glad to see you finally got going slow poke. And we won it in 2007. I think you meant 2002 when you beat the Giants. But maybe deep down you really are a Sox fan at heart.
Soooo, you mentioned the RSV-CE. I find that I like the lack of notes on most editions primarily so I can picture things for myself. For devotional reading more so than for study. Yet, I appreciate how you can buy types of RSV-CE with good notes as well. But you usually have to buy volumes and can’t buy a complete study version that is just one tome. Any thoughts?

The serious part first.
I saw an old movie on TV some time ago about a RedSox fan who put love for a girl before his love of the RedSox. Can you remember what it was called?

For the GNT I would consider NA27 (UBS 4th Rev Ed), edited by Kurt Aland, Matthew Black, Johannes Karavidopoulos, Carlo Martini and Bruce Metzger, the best. Thus English translations closest to this are to be preferred.

There are none. I and several others have already addressed his complaints. He hates them because they don’t directly support Catholic doctrine, although none of them ever deny Church teaching. He just uses vitriol like “lies” without really proving how they “lie”. None of them “lie”. They’re just not easily useful to prove Catholic doctrine. But it would do everyone a disservice to slant translations according to doctrine.
He hates “presence” instead of “person” when the Greek word first and foremost means “face”.
He insists in “supersubstantial” when the Greek and even our Latin liturgy uses “daily”.
And John 3:16 is just a plain rendering of the Greek, which isn’t easy to translate into English exactly.
And he just plain ignores the Holy Father’s encyclical on the advancement of original language translations. He ignores the fact that the Pope uses the RSV in his English writings, or that the CDF, the Inquisition itself, used it for the Catechism. He ignores the fact that Pope Pius XII attached the stigma of levity and sloth to Bible researchers (not readers, mind you) who deliberately refuse to work with the original languages. All of these are proof that the Church prefers the original languages to better understand the word of God, and that she has no problem with his hated translation, and even prefers it in her doctrinal teachings in English.
But the worst part about this poster is his spiritual pride with which he looks down on those who do not agree with him, and in not-so-veiled manners implies that the rest who do not agree with him are spiritually undereducated or inferior. He presents himself as more holy and knowledgeable than the Pope and the Holy See, and clearly needs a lesson in humility.
I have no problem with him holding his views. But to set himself up above those who don’t share those views is just plain disgusting behavior.

Heya Fitzy,
If I am right you are thinking of a Farrelly Brothers movie called… what was it…It had drew barrymore and jimmy fallon…Fever Pitch. That never would have happened. At the end of the movie I wanted my money back. It was horrible, but I think originally based on an old english movie about a soccer fan.
As for your bible picks that was an interesting 3 to choose from. What exactly made you choose them? The closeness to NA27? Honestly I’m not sure what that is. LOL.
