I don't think you should burn any Bible, whether it be a reliable translation or not. Every translation is only the Word of God as long as it agrees with the original text (whether you believe the best text to be the Peshitta, Peshitto, Byzantine, or Alexandrian). The vast majority of the translations we have are fantastic, so why would we not want to make use of these valuable resources? Each translation serves a certain purpose, some to be simply read, some to be studied. The New International Version or The Message would be more useful for reading than the New American Standard or the Amplified Bible, while the latter two translations would be better for study because of their being literal translations.Even though I prefer a literal translation, just because it is a literal translation does not make it more accurate.
I am familiar with The Testimony of Yeshua but I haven't used it yet. He seems to use the Tetragrammaton in places in which it doesn't appear, but I suppose that isn't really theological bias... <!-- s
