The man who helped launch the New American Standard Version of the Bible had this to say about the NASV before he died: "I must, under God, renounce every attachment to the New American Standard Version. I’m afraid I’m in trouble with the Lord...We laid the groundwork; I wrote the format; I helped interview some of the translators; I wrote the preface...I’m in trouble; I can’t refute these arguments; it’s wrong, frighteningly wrong, and what am I going to do about it? "When questions began to reach me at first, I was quite offended...I used to laugh with others...However, in attempting to answer, I began to sense that something was not right with the New American Standard Version. I can no longer ignore these criticisms I am hearing and I can’t refute them...the deletions are absolutely frightening...there are so many...Are we so naïve that we do not suspect satanic deception in all of this? "Upon investigation, I wrote my very dear friend, Mr. Lockman, explaining that I was forced to renounce all attachment to the NASV. The product is grievous to my heart and helps to complicate matters in these already troublous times...I don’t want anything to do with it. The finest leaders that we have today...haven’t gone into it [corrupted Greek test,] just as I hadn’t gone into it...that’s how easily one can be deceived... "[Y]ou can say the Authorized Version [KJV] is absolutely correct. How correct? 100% correct!...I believe the Spirit of God led the translators of the Authorized Version. If you must stand against everyone else, stand..." ref: New Age Bible Versions by G.A. Riplinger; AV Publications, Ararat VA [800-435-4535]
