Robin Hass: It would not be unheard of for two Pentecostals or two Baptists or two whatevers to disagree over the interpretation of a given word, phrase or verse. And a King James Only person would tell you that the original Greek is wrong; that the only perfect Bible is the KJV. That it is more perfect than the original language texts from which it was translated. Some people can't even agree on the meaning of English words, let alone Greek or Hebrew ones. Also, there are some people who believe that while the "experts" are fallible, somehow they themselves are infallible. No one is automatically right -- no one except the self-appointed Lone Ranger internet Bible experts (a claim I do not make for myself). Often when one person does not agree with another it isn't because he can't; it's because he won't. This may not be the answer you were looking for, but this is what came to mind when I considered your question. I'm not thinking or implying that any of this is true of you. Just stating my observations. Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi Kalos, I guess I would kind of fall into that category because there are some translations that I don’t put a lot of stock in; namely because of certain verses that are twisted. I think all of the translations that I use have their good point, but I pretty much stick to about four that I like. Some I feel have changed the wording from the old KJV just to be different, so they can claim to be different, even if it made more sense the way it was. Using the other translations is a great help but I have memorized everything, verse wise, from the KJV; I guess it’s the old dog and the new trick concept. Have a great day, CDBJ |
