1 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | Hank | 25999 | ||
Ed, I like your story about your experiences with your friend, the Greek Orthodox Priest....... I don't believe one gets to be a translator on the team of fine versions such as the the NASB or NKJV by taking a crash course in Hebrew or Greek -- something like "Greek Made Simple" or "Learn Greek in Only 15 Minutes a Day". These people who work on serious Bible translations aren't amateurs or hacks. They are seasoned and well-trained scholars who have a high view of Scripture. Consequently, to accuse them of manipulating Scripture to distort its meaning to suit their own agenda or mind-set is both ridiculous and ignorant, casting far more doubt on the credibility of the accuser than of the translators. --Hank | ||||||

"or "Learn Greek in Only 15 Minutes a Day"." Actually, you'd probably be amazed at the number of Greek words you already know (I'm working on compiling a list, last count I had about 30-40 words)! According to one of my NT profs (who when he referred us to the Bible we could tell that he was reading straight from the Greek) that if we practiced 15 minutes a day based on what we were taught we could do the same as he could. One of the bomnes I'd pick with most translators/translations is that even a modicum of research shows that they goofed in places. |
