Bible Note: The Lockman Foundation has forgotten more about translating the Bible then I should ever hope to know. If I would send a message suggesting such a change I am afraid that the Lord would beat the socks off of me for being so arrogant. It would be a month before I could even use the PC again, much less get on the internet. I probably know just enough to be dangerious! You'll have to find someone else that enjoys pain, I’m not really into it that much, I still enjoy doses of grace now and then. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. I am less then a simple amateur when it comes to translating the Bible. There is more to it then knowing a little Koine Greek. There is so much that is idiomatic that it makes my head swim and with out the knowledge of the idioms one could be barking up the wrong tree, if you get my drift? CDBJ |
