Synopsis

The LSB is the Legacy Standard Bible, a brand new English Bible Translation. The LSB raises some controversial questions. This new version never calls God "Lord" in the Old Testament. The translators chose to use the Hebrew name of God. The name they chose was Yahweh. But, is God's Hebrew name Yahweh or Jehovah, as the King James Version says. The translators also chose to consistently call Christians and the Lord Jesus Christ "slaves," rather than "servants" as the KJV calls them. Which is right? What are the right translations? Yahweh? Jehovah? Slave? Servant? Does it really matter? So what if we call God by the wrong name? Does He care? Should you care? Are you a servant or are you a slave? These things are immensely important. God's name is to be praised, but what if we praise the wrong name? Are we really praising God or someone else? We had better know for sure. The answer to these questions can make a big difference in our worship and our service.  

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Steve Combs is an ordained minister. He spent his early years in Kentucky, Virginia, and finally Ohio. He was not raised in a Christian home. He had some Christian influence from his grandmother, but that had little effect on him. Due to discussions with a Baptist preacher and a Sunday School teacher, who visited his home, he began to read the Bible. The Word of God had its effect. He came under strong conviction of his sins. A friend invited him to a nearby church during revival meetings, where he heard the gospel preached. God showed him that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid for his sins when he died on the cross and, afterward, rose physically from the dead. He believed it with all his heart and, as a result, he was born spiritually into the family of God and saved from condemnation for his sins. Since then there have been major transformations to his life. God called him to preach and enabled a backward shy individual suffering from an inferiority complex to stand before crowds and confidently proclaim the Word of God. God gave him a business background as a CPA and God put him in several ministry positions. He has served as a Bible Institute teacher and Dean, a youth pastor, assistant pastor, and a senior pastor. He holds a Doctor of Theology from Covington Theological Seminary. Currently Steve Combs is Assistant Director and a Global Translation Advisor for Bearing Precious Seed Global/ Global Bible Translators, www.bpsglobal.com. BPS Global starts and assists Bible translation projects around the world. He is married and has four married children.
