1 | God can use woman in the ministry? | Gal 3:28 | reformedreader | 3617 | ||
Hank, It would greatly depend upon what the difference actually is and, like you said, opinion or heavily skewed sectarian bias might cause one to see a particular translation as suspect when it really isn't. Sam Hughey |

Sam, I appreciate your comment. Let me attempt to make my point clearer by recasting the sentence. Given the situation in which one translation stands in opposition to all the others on some crucial issue, wouldn't you agree that that particular translation might well be suspect? My point is that it seems to me highly unlikely that all the other scholars of all the other translations would have erred so miserably. Doesn't that make sense to you? If all history books but one say that George Washington was the first U.S. President, and the one refuted them by saying Abraham Lincoln was, what are we to beleve? Hank | ||||||

Thanks Hank, I will agree that the lone translation, standing in stark contradiction to a widely trusted and accepted orthodox translation by reputable and unquestionable translators would be considered suspect of error. I would also say that vague and ambiguous dialogue concerning non-specific error can be equally suspect. So, could you be a little more specific as to what you are talking about? By the way, George Washington was not the first President the US had. He was the first President of the US under the Constitution. There were several other Presidents over the colonies which would become the US and were considered the US by many even prior to the Constitution. Is this the type of "suspect" error to which you were referring? Sam Hughey |
