The 2nd edition of the NET has been announced, and some of the changes are rather disappointing, such as Gen 3:5. The first ed reads:
For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like divine beings who know good and evil.
The second ed reads:
For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
Anyone who can read Hebrew can tell you that the 1st edition is correct while the new edition is simply wrong (the text refers to plural divine beings, not God singularly). Why the change and others like this? Here is one of the explanations:
Important key passages were revised to make the translation more consistent and acceptable with the mainstream of evangelical views and thus more acceptable in the church.
So basically the NET is going down the New World Translation road, perverting biblical texts to support a perverse (here, Evangelical Protestant) theology.
