“but still if God wanted to use non Christians to give us a better translation then so be it. God could use Catholics”
I was complaining about the footnotes in the NAB, not the text itself.
Yeah I understand, I was thinking though of my past very brief involvement with the Authorized King James only people who would burn other Bibles because those supposedly bad translations don't use the same exact wording that the AKJV does which they believe is the inspired word of God word for word.
Pointing to what your getting at though I've got several study Bibles with commentary on each page, most of them I would rate as a 3 out of 5 star Bibles as far as the side notes go, and maybe one or two as 4 or 5 star Bibles. The Puritans prefer the Geneva Bible over the AKJV but eventually had to settle on using the AKJV because it was the only one they could get their hands on in the new country or old one. Fortunately we don't live in those days anymore.
