Q:I actually got a HCSB the other day, I quite like it. I agree that the MSG is jacked up, not as much as I initially thought it was (it puts some verses and concepts across nicely), but for the most part it's kinda stupid and really misconstrues so many language features and the meaning of the text. Definitely not a Bible to read for deep thought and study (I had someone try use it to argue a theological point once - amusingly wrong). I mostly use the ESV or the NASB, as I prefer a meatier read
I agree. Everyone is opinionated when it comes to Bible translations! I stick primarily with ESV and NASB and I have to say I favor the NASB in many ways but the ESV has many more resources to compliment it and my church is standardized on the ESV, so that’s my go-to translation.
