Subject: True Disciples - eternal importance |
Bible Note: Dear Jim: I use many translations and I usually take them as a whole and do not focus on the differences among them. (I like the NLT best and have noticed very few problems with it. I suppose I should say here that I also appreciate the NASB for its renowned accuracy and the Amplified for its shades of meaning). Somewhere on this forum I think we have discussed the importance of missing passages and of variations among the ancient manuscripts. I just thank God we have them all, and I use them all (1 Cor 3:22). We have also considered the apparent fact that signs and miracles and wonders were for those early disciples and their audiences. We have considered it a possibility that they are being used of God today in virgin territory, where the Gospel is being preached for the first time. You might want to review those discussions by searching on the relevant words. |
