Bible Note: Wayne Wayne believe me I’m not trying to be argumentative or anything less than helpful. I’m just interested in your question. Doesn't the fact you ask the question say you also know the answer? I read the survey and every verse was one based on Old English expressions or colloquialisms that are not commonly used today. In all modern translations (except the NASB) they have been rewritten to make them more understandable. The NASB in it’s pursuit of excellence must have realized the word divorce would also be incorrect since the actual marriage had not yet be consummated. Therefore they choose the word set they used with the asterisk for further clarification. Additionally the survey provides the literal interpretation which in most cases is the different than the intended meaning. This would be called leading and is known to corrupt surveys. By supplying the obvious answer it effects people two ways. In one case, people like me “devious” say it must have a more than the obvious meaning therefore I would use B. For the less devious they see an answer that makes sense and use A. Therefore both cases would be wrong because in truth neither knew the right answer. Example “What does this phrase to send her away” away mean to you? A. It means he was going to send her to some other place B. Something else. C. I don’t know Your survey if even needed would be better to supply either no answer or both the correct and the incorrect interpretation. If I'm being a pain just say so and I'll shut up. I'm just very curious over what your doing. EdB |
