1 | Please explain the Trinity. | John 1:1 | ethan | 29649 | ||
Hi joe. Hey man i was there and thats what happened i am sorry to blow your world apart. i have to agree with you about the greek is much richer but you miss the point. which is how many words does it take in english to describe one word in Greek??? and visa vera you will find that the english language is a lot more precise to explain to the very detail of how even the Letters come to gether to make certain sounds, let alone the multi meanings of just one word in greek. but i guess it is all greek to me. Bless you. | ||||||

Ethan Since you were in the Mormon chat room what did they say exactly? What did they say about the name of Jesus and how do they feel it is corrupted? Did anyone ask the speaker why if the Mormons think the name is corrupted they still used the name Jesus in their official church name? Did anyone ask why if the name is corrupted they have the name of Jesus in their book of Mormon. Also like you said Greek is Greek to you so I wouldn't repeat what you said about English being more descriptive/precise than Greek. I don't doubt someone told you that but they like you are wrong.

What they said was that because the name of Jesus is really yeshua or some thing like that and the Name JESUS as we know is Corrupted because it has changed from the original. Thats all nothing more and everyone jumped down my neck because mormons said something to me that others dont agree with.the facts were, that is what was said. And the latter if our language is not more descriptive than Greek or any others why does it take so many ENGLISH words to describe one word in Greek. we say shoe then we ask what type of shoe? what color? What size? what Shape? male? female? . we have built our language according to our minds. for we all see in pictures and each person sees a different shoe. that is why the english language is more descriptive. i was being sarky to joe. But what one hates in others is normally in ones self. what i was saying is why does it take a lot of words in english to describe a Greek word and one greek word can mean many english words. to me that is descriptive in english terms. may be i must be using the wrong word or words to describe descriptive or pricise. Bless you. |

Greetings Ethan! At the risk of speaking for others, but may I address what I think the problem is? I don't think anyone is upset because of what you heard. I think they are upset because one person on a chat room does not speak for the entire Mormon cult. Concerning your point about English, you own illustrations demonstrates that Greek is far more descriptive than English. :-) One Greek word can say more than 20 English words! Why? Because there is so much more meaning packed into a Greek word. It is a fascinating language for precisely this reason! I hope you have a great New Year! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I heard the reason Greek is more prescise is different words convey precise meaning, like define agape love. Even love in English isn't defined, I love my car, I love cake, I love my child, I love my man, I love TV, I love that red dress-none of this is agape. :) | ||||||

yes we can define the way love is used by our expression. Jesus asked Peter three time do you love me with Gods love and Peter replied yes i love you as a friend three times. in that respect to do the same in english more PRECISE words have to be used and in english we are able to explain in greater detail. We know that you are not going to love your car the same way you love your man and you love your child in a different way from your man. well that is why we can go into depth with the english. If we didnt have the benchmark of the english language we would not understand the complexity of the other languages. The way english works is that we can. There is more than one word for love in the greek as well, which covers, from God to sex in erotic circmstances. i think four. i know that the greek is a very rich language i never disputed that.Due to the english language because it can be so precise, explains and breaks down the greek etc. so that we gain a fuller understanding of it. that is my point. We have the capability in english to pull down words to their core and put them back to gether to understand all the other languages because in the english we have named everything on the earth. that has not happened in the Greek or Hebrew as God had said to Adam, although Adam named all the animals. Bless you. |

What do you mean? Are you saying that Spanish Bible is translated from English instead of original language? I would think they should all go back to original language, otherwise, there's too much room for error. | ||||||

YEP! you had better check your source. why do you think there is so many differnt versions? King James is english. the old testement was first translated into greek because of Alexander the Great conquering the world. So that the Christians had the old testement to read. i have been told, i have not been able to prove this as yet, the the amplified, the NIV and the King james, OLD, are the only three versions that are translated from the original. all others are mens translations in a differnt train of thought.from what i dont know . Which can be Good because we all see God in a different aspect because Psalms 18:25,26 God is all things to all people. but if you look at the front of the bible it should tell you how it was translated and by whom. Bless you. so if you are really worried you can prove me wrong. but please give me proof.LOL :) |
