Translation as art: NIV committee, eagle vs vulture, Blue Letter Bible

A long discussion of Bible translation as art rather than mechanics: a host's Cincinnati Bible College professor sat on the NIV committee where dozens of scholars could debate a single word; the hosts note modern translations render Matthew's birds as 'vulture' for end-times reasons while the KJV says 'eagle' though the word means eagle everywhere else. They recommend the free Blue Letter Bible app and its aged Strong's pronunciation reader, and a host confesses to preaching an entire sermon saying 'Ashura' poles after mishearing the app.
