Bible Note: "Now your saying all the translators that worked on the KJV, NJKV, NASB, NIV, RSV, and NLT and thousands of others are either idiots or in cahoots to bring forth a mistranslation of this passage." I said no such thing about anyone. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." ---- "Your also saying the majority of commentators many of which also held degrees in Greek are either also mistaken or also in cahoots to insure this lie was perpetuated." Actually I show that there are a number of scholars in the field who do have it correctly. Most of the sources I refer to quite obviously didn't do enough research into the issue (they, like all of us, assumed that they knew what the verse was talking about)--in a different field one said "Do you really think think that for what they are paying me that I'm going to read more than one book on the subject?" ---- "Further more your saying only Sabbatarians have discovered the true meaning of this passage and any that contradict it are wrong. (sounds a little cultic)." Whether those who studied this and found out what it says are sabbatarians or not I don't know; I didn't ask, I just went by the facts. Anyone who doesn't go by the facts will most likely be wrong--after all, what are the odds of finding the right answer when one doesn't look at the facts in the first place? ---- "Paul and the other Apostles recognized Sunday as the Lord’s day and therefore the day upon which to worship Him." The problem is that there is no evidence to support that claim. --- "I know God’s word is swift and divides marrow from bone, therefore more than capable of saying what it means and meaning what it says." You have got that right. So let's look at a couple of words that Paul wrote here in Col. 2:16: "brosei" means "eating" not what you eat but the act. "posei" means "drinking" not what you eat but the act of drinking. "kai" usually means "and" not "or" a fact that the RSV, the NRSV, the NAB, the Amplified Bible, Authentic New Testament, Cassirer New Testament, Holy Bible in Modern English, Jewish New Testament, New Evangelical Translation, Noli New Testament, Restoration of Original Sacred Name Bible, Williams New Testament translations have correctly. |
