Bible Question:
i'm familiar with the strong's and understand the words used in the translation, my question is more for why was it changed ?what made the decision to change it even from the asb to nasb its been changed mainly in Matt 28:20 or any time it talks of an end to the world as to the first day or one day same question why was the change made? not how it is changed in comparison to kjv, what was the need if they can both can be used why use the one instead of first knowing it is the first?unless it's not the first excuse my puncuation or sharpness in choice in words |
Bible Answer: You are so right.They shouldn't change or alter any words. As much as I dislike reading the KJB I tend to believe it is more direct to proper meaning. Each subsequent Bible translation seems to take the translators ideas, right or wrong and amplifiy them. I have looked up more that 22000 greek words over my 28 year study of the Bible, digging for Truth. There is much error. Here is an interesting key to use when reading the Bible and searching for God. If when you are reading or hearing a teacher about God if it is the Truth it will feel wonderful. You see, all aspects of God are peace, joy, kindness, meekness, love etc.! If someone is telling you gloom and doom and pain and suffering etc. it can only be for a non-believer. All Truth from God produces feelings that are good,warm,loving etc.is for believers. Thats the God within you that you feel. One last thing, Jesus was the end of the world. Jesus was the end of time.(Luke 16:16, Matt11:13, Luke 24:24) All was fulfilled in Jesus when he came to earth. It is finished. After his death he returned to the earth at least six or seven times. Now Jesus is manifest in an earthen body again every time a human accepts him as Lord.Theres so much more, maybe in time. with Love, FTK |
