Bible Note: I like it because it is amusing. It stops you cold in your tacks with a quick read. It is a good example of how we need to be attentive, not just surface readers. I do not see it as a contradiction. It does not perplex me at all and my faith is strong. But that is not what this is about. It is about scriptures, not beliefs. Regarding translations, they can easily flex to handle obvious issues like this. I wonder how the original text reads. Unfortunately, I can't find the text in the Septuagint to see how similar they are. I can't translate Hebrew. I appreciate your offer to coach though. Again, sorry for the "folly". |
