Bible Note: Dear soul, you are experiencing the very same trials I experirnced in the beginning of my walk. Keep in mind, scripture states that if you ask, you will recieve. If it pertains to anything, this most assuredly pertains to the understanding of His word; our owners manual; Gods instruction manual for His creation. I have a number of translations. If you are a new, young Christian, or sinner wanting to learn His truth for yourself, I would recommend that you find a single translation which you are most comfortanle with, then research what you may not understand by reading how others translate a particular passage. Keep in mind that though they are not all worded exactly the same, all "good" translations will agree with one another. As an example, though the words children and sons mean different things in our language, where King James translates the Greek word as "sons," the NIV, (in my view) more accurately translates it as "children." In essence, the particular Greek word can be translated either way. KJ also translates the Greek word to seats, where NIV translates thrones, (or is it visa versa?) Anyway, they are both where someone rests their butt. The context in this particular passage in Revelation, would lead one to believe that it wouldn't be a royal butt; more than likely just a regular butt like yours or mine. I don't know about you, but it is doubtful that mine will ever rest on a throne. Big deal. The Greek word can be translated either way. The spirit will lead you if your faith and determination (perseverence) is there. God Bless |
