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 | ||||||

False accusers, masters of deceit, are truly ridiculous and ignorant! Hank: I agree with you fully. I just cringe whenever I see some Internet Lone Ranger Bible teacher and self-appointed expert going around accusing the translators (real Greek scholars) of manipulating Scripture to distort its meaning. It makes me wonder: how does it glorify God, further his kingdom or edify anyone to go around casting doubt upon the reliability of our trusted English translations -- e.g., KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV? Maybe these false accusers, these agents of doubt, are the ones who themselves are out for profit or to draw attention to themselves. Sounds like the false teachers against whom we are often warned in the New Testament. |
