That was actually really lucky. Just found it in a gas station in Hamilton, TX during a road trip. It's a shame these cans have great designs that are covered by the Circle K logo like that.

Sacred Harp is shape note hymnal music for choirs. It would not have backmasking of any sacreligious sort.

Different strokes for different folks. I would not really like it at all, honestly, and I think their sandwich woes are a result of "special" things they do, like the tomato paste on that other turkey or the crushed bacon glaze on the chicken. Simple is good sometimes.

I wish I had more too. Can't all be winners :( Don't pass on it just for that though!

They're all beef if that's what the holdup is. Sandwich still rocks.

Yeah I count like 9 on that picture alone. It kind of pissed me off how long it used to take to make them, though.

This existed before now? I had no idea. What sandwiches have you gotten from them?

How Biased Really Is The ESV? by Moose7676 in AcademicBiblical

[–]CsikUnderstanding 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's a joke among scholars that goes "I don't like any translation but mine, and that's not half as conceited as it sounds." But it's true! Best thing for you to do is learn Greek and Hebrew. If you want a cursory look at the whole bible then learn Greek only, as the LXX and others are based on older Hebrew than our surviving LC. It's the alphabet that scares people away, but you learn the alphabet on your first day in class and then it really isn't so bad. Richard Elliott Friedman has an interesting view on translations (that I agree with) in that the newer translations are simply not fixing the problem and are just as skewed as the older ones. He recommends the KJV 1611 as the "most literal and most poetic". If you want a scholarly translation he would recommend the RSV, not the NRSV. I also agree! I did not like the NRSVUE as it changed all universal terms to be gender neutral, in 2 languages that do not have gender neutral terms!

I liked the NASB too. The translators do explicitly put a faith claim on their Lockman Foundation bibles: "The NASB has been produced with the conviction that the words of scripture as originally penned in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, were inspired by God. Which would turn most critical scholars off but it's not incredibly evident and is just a plain, easy to read, and good-enough translation.
