1 | How best to translate Ps. 45:6? | Psalm | Ric | 565 | ||
Clearly the Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong again. I don't know if you know about their "Bible" the "New World Translation" or "NWT"? They (the Jehovah's Witnesses) change quite a few verses to suit their false teachings. Like in John 1:1 (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [NAS]), the NWT changes the text to read something like this; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a God." ..... That verse the JW's translate into their "Bible" is changed so that it reads like Jesus is not God. (sigh) Well, it sounds like the verse you quoted sounds like another "mis-translation", and most likely is that way to support their false gospel. I don't know if this helps any, but I see you are on the right track! In God's Grace, Ric |

2 | How best to translate Ps. 45:6? | Psalm | Sherrie56 | 119205 | ||
I went to the library here and looked up this very thing that you are talking about. It says our first thoughts should be that the Holy Bible was written in other languages first. Anyways....here is what it said.... John 1:1, RS: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [also KJ, JB, Dy, Kx, NAB]." NE reads "what God was, the Word was." Mo says "the Logos was divine." AT and Sd tell us "the Word was divine." The interlinear rendering of ED is "a god was the Word." NW reads "the Word was a god"; NTIV uses the same wording. What is it that these translators are seeing in the Greek text that moves some of them to refrain from saying "the Word was God"? The definite article (the) appears before the first occurrence of the·os´ (God) but not before the second. The articular (when the article appears) construction of the noun points to an identity, a personality, whereas a singular anarthrous (without the article) predicate noun before the verb (as the sentence is constructed in Greek) points to a quality about someone. So the text is not saying that the Word (Jesus) was the same as the God with whom he was but, rather, that the Word was godlike, divine, a god. This makes sence to me....but then it means I agree with my King James version...which actually says....the word was with God......hehehe...sherrie |
