Bible Note: Tim I understand the arguments and at one point I would have agreed the "yet" wasn't all that important. However lately I see Christianity sliding into compromise on every front. It is becoming a series of, “that really doesn't mean that it could mean this”, type changes to scripture to suit whatever and whoever. I know God is calling His people to draw a line in the sand and say I go no further reducing scripture to could be's and maybe's. Either it is the word of God to be taken literally and lived, or it becomes whatever we choose to make it and live the way we want. As I go through this process I'm getting more and more disenchanted with the “oldest” text and see more and more value in the TR. While I don’t see a demon hiding behind every verse in the new translations I do see a specialnest (newly invented word) with the Textus Receptus. Therefore if it is all the same to everyone I will keep “yet’ in my Bible. To me it presents our Savior in the light He should be presented even if it does pose some manuscriptural or translational problems. EdB |
