1 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | Hank | 24983 | ||
Steve, a.k.a. Indiana Jones! Excellent point: Self-made linguistic "experts" who, after having lent a desultory consultation to a Hebrew or Greek lexicon, advertise themselves as scholars are flatly ridiculous. Genuine scholars spend decades in research and study and, even then, will be the first to admit they haven't yet learned it all. I agree with you entirely: it's far better for most of us to leave the scholarship up to the scholars and ourselves reap the rewards of their work as it is given to us in a number of excellent modern translations into our native tongue. --Hank | ||||||
2 | what about the K J V | Rev 3:10 | Bob Y. | 24986 | ||
I think that all of you have a very good line of thinking in this area. I am by no stretch of the imagination a scholar of any kind. I prefer the more contemporary language found in the NKJV and NASB, because it's easier for my simple mind to grasp, yet are still accurate translations. I have a friend who majored in ancient Greek in college and reads a Greek New Testament. He tells me that these translations (of course refering to KJV also) are very accurate. I use all the study aids I can, but only to gain a better understanding and I rely on the Holy Spirit to put it all together for me. God bless all of you, Bob |
