Bible Note: Ed, I like your story about your experiences with your friend, the Greek Orthodox Priest....... I don't believe one gets to be a translator on the team of fine versions such as the the NASB or NKJV by taking a crash course in Hebrew or Greek -- something like "Greek Made Simple" or "Learn Greek in Only 15 Minutes a Day". These people who work on serious Bible translations aren't amateurs or hacks. They are seasoned and well-trained scholars who have a high view of Scripture. Consequently, to accuse them of manipulating Scripture to distort its meaning to suit their own agenda or mind-set is both ridiculous and ignorant, casting far more doubt on the credibility of the accuser than of the translators. --Hank |
