DAVEH: Wow....did you actually read them?
To me they are certainly contrastingly different. If they don't
bother you....I am very surprised, Lance.

No Dave, I don't have a 'problem' with those

I meant for you to explain how you adjudicate
'insofar as..".

I have no serious problem with any

translations. DAVEH: Take a look at
Mt 9:13 in both the NIV and the KJV. Does it seem to you that they
are significantly different in the way they have been
translated? Or, try comparing Mk 11:26. Does
something seem peculiar about one of these translations, Lance?
However Dave, I'd still appreciate your
expanded explanation of that
quotation. DAVE: ???? You
want more than I gave you, Lance? I'm not sure what more to
say. What did I fail to mention?

DAVEH: Ahhhhhhh.....thanx for clearing
the cobwebs, Lance!
Was there not just
recently a big discussion on TT about the accuracy of some of the
Bible translations. There was a little concern about the JW
green Bible. And in previous years we've discussed how the NIV
version dropped a few passages that are found in the
KJV. Just why do we have so many versions of the Bible,
if someone didn't think there was a problem with the existing
versions? Surely they can't all be translated
correctly.....do you disagree?
Furthermore, when two Christians determine doctrines differently
from the same source, does that not cause one to ponder
why? Could it be the translations are not adequately
conveying what God wants understood? I don't view that as
being a weakness of God, but rather a weakness of the
translation. Is that a reasonable
stance?
So Lance, I would ask you (or any
TTer) if you believe any particular translation of the Bible is 100%
accurate. If the answer is yes, may I assume you would then
also believe that the other translations are less than 100%
accurate? Now, if the answer is you do not believe a
particular translation is 100% accurate, then would you take my
position and accept the Bible to be the word of God as far as it it
translated correctly?
I would sure
be interested to know if any TTers really do believe a given
translation is 100% accurate. And if you fear reprisal
from other TTers for whatever comments you might have, post it to me
off-Forum. As you know, I will not mock or denigrate your
comments....I'm sincerely interested in knowing your
beliefs.
