1 | True Disciples - eternal importance | Luke 14:26 | newoldstock | 101464 | ||
Dear Aixen,the NASB puts Mark 9-20 in brackets and both it and the NIV note that "the earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20". I usually use the NKJV or the KJ and did not notice this before. I am also not so sure that the context limits these verses just to the 12 Apostles and their converts. Just so that all of you understand me, however, I do believe and have faith in the Bible as the Word of God. But mainly we must have faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. Thanks for your answers. God Bless. Jim | ||||||
2 | True Disciples - eternal importance | Luke 14:26 | Aixen7z4 | 101472 | ||
Dear Jim: I use many translations and I usually take them as a whole and do not focus on the differences among them. (I like the NLT best and have noticed very few problems with it. I suppose I should say here that I also appreciate the NASB for its renowned accuracy and the Amplified for its shades of meaning). Somewhere on this forum I think we have discussed the importance of missing passages and of variations among the ancient manuscripts. I just thank God we have them all, and I use them all (1 Cor 3:22). We have also considered the apparent fact that signs and miracles and wonders were for those early disciples and their audiences. We have considered it a possibility that they are being used of God today in virgin territory, where the Gospel is being preached for the first time. You might want to review those discussions by searching on the relevant words. |
