Bible Note: To: Mark: You are very free with your criticism. But I am not offended. Tell me as a potential friend, "How many complete books of the Bible have you translated?" I have completed Assembly (Ecclesiastes), and Joel, and Romans, and First John; and most of Matthew; besides editing Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation in my commentaries. If you have never translated a big book; give it a try! You will be shocked at the knowledge and wisdom required for this task. First of all, years of study must precede such an adventure. But then, teachers are all fallible men of earth; and so, you must "wrestle with God" in prayer, to find many answers. In love, Sid |
