Subject: Is BeDuhn correct on John 8:58? |
Bible Note: Qualifications may be necessary, but the proof is in the results. If not qualified, why have unbiased scholars praised this translation? Also, isn't it possible that highly qualified Greek scholars might succumb to bias and waste their talents, even misleading readers? That's what BeDuhn has found and documented. Why is it that Luke 10:21,22 is true? This is the way approved by God. Good motive, a pure heart - wouldn't you agree that this is what will cause God to bless one's efforts. "Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth." Who are those that He sanctifies by revealing truth? Those that are true disciples of Jesus - "no part of the world." (Jo 17:16,17) This is the form of worship that God accepts. (James 1:27; 4:4) This is how you identify true Christians, not by the number of letters behind one's name or the amount of money he's made off religion. |
