Subject: Why is 2 Thess. 2:7 mis-translated? |
Bible Note: Searcher, thanks for the reasoning: “Translators have many reasons ... you need to ask them.” I believe I will. I was hoping to know this side of eternity. But, now that you mentioned the idea, someday, I will ask William Tyndale personally … “Sir, do you realize how much time people spent trying to decipher your choice of words from Greek to English? If you had only undergone Wycliffe’s Bible Translator’s training school, we won’t have near the fun.” :) I sure hope “Billy” Tyndale made to the same other side I’m going to, otherwise someone else will have to ask him, through all that smoke. |
