Hello!
So I am currently attending a 1689 confessional church that uses the New American Standard Bible 95 (NASB95) as their main teaching and pew Bible, yet I struggle with the text. I've been told its because I need to embrace the struggle and plow though it, but I find that the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) has been a breath of fresh air.
I grew up with the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) and have a majority of my Bible memory from that translation. I love the update, but I feel guilty for using it instead of the NASB95 as my main since its what the church uses.
I know many of you might think this is a childish issue, and that using mutiple translations is wise, and I do. I just want a home base for reading, teaching, and memorizing. What are your thoughts on the CSB and is it trustworthy for Reformed teaching?
Thank you!
