Bible Question:
Regarding the NASB translation of the Bible: Can you give me your views and supporting sources on the accuracy of it to the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts? Recently, I was told that the translators of the modern Bibles intentionally left out the article "a" in the verse John 1:1 (ie. the famous God vs "a god" translation arguement) Unfortunately, not being a Greek/Hebrew scholar, I had no convincing response to give him, so responded that I would not acccept his assertion of intentional omission by the NASB translators anymore than he would accept my assertion that his NWT was inaccurate. Pretty weak huh? What say ye on this matter? If any of you can translate Greek or Hebrew I am very interested in hearing your input. Thank you, In Christ and loving Him, Edie |
Bible Answer: Thank you to all who responded to this question!! Tho' I have no understanding of Greek nor probably ever will have any grasp of it (It's all Greek to me- ooooh, I know, bad joke), I have gained insight into God's Word and why I believe as I do! After all that is what this is all about. The challenges put to me by the JWs have been turned into a blessing by our ONE True God the Father, God The Son and God the Holy Spirit.
