Bible Note: To: BradK: EN H PNEW: B. W. Johnson, 1891, and Alexander Campbell, "The Living Oracles" (NT), 1826; and The Millennial Harbinger, Christian monthly magazine; 1830-70; were all: EN H PNEW. They changed "the wind blows" to "the Spirit breathes" (Jn 3.8). This was because of their belief in Majority Rule. This also applies to Acts 2.2; "a violent breath." Added to that is Acts 27.40; "raising the sail to the breath" (of Euros - vs 14). So then, consistency is dedication to the Lord God Almighty. Campbell changed, "baptize" to "immerse" (but "dip" is better); and from 12 members, in 1812, they became the 6th largest denomination in the United States in 1895. See: Gaustad's "History of Religion in America"; Vol 2, p. 92. Johnson corrected many errors in the translation in his Bible commentary. The Interlinear Bibles have corrected "forever" to read "into the ages." See: Heb 13.8. This is the result of Majority Rule. I suppose that all Bible translations embrace this principle to some extent; some more than others. So now, you are: EN H PNEW. sid |
