Subject: New translation promotes fornication |
Bible Note: Well, Kalos, I certainly agree with John MacArthur, a confession that will impress Dr. MacArthur, no doubt! :-) ..... While it may be true, as MacArthur suggests, that some dynamic equivalents are better than others, they fall short of being 'good enough.' A paraphrase is still a paraphrase, no matter what other fancy name one chooses to give it, and a paraphrase is a counterfeit, nothing more and nothing less. The "Good as New" -- a ridiculous title for a translation, by the way -- is a sterling example of how far afield a paraphrase can go. The only reason I can think of to consider purchasing a copy of this sacrilegious farce would be for the exquisite pleasure of putting a torch to it and watching it burn. --Hank |
