Subject: Translating 'Tradition' |
Bible Note: This is a weak observation because I am referring to Scripture's positive use of the word TRADITION. The word tradition (paradosis) occurs 12 times in the New Testament, thrice positively. 1 Cor 11:2 2 Thess 2:15 2 Thess 3:6 These are all positive examples. Am I to take it that you opine that tradition is proscribed by the New Testament. Furthermore, it is very common for Protestant and Evangelical Bibles (but not the NASB) to translate 'paradosis' as tradition where tradition is critiqued and something else where Tradition is spoken of positively. Which is bent. And a sure sign that some translators don't like what Scripture is teaching so they need to cheat. 1 Cor 11:2 NIV I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the TEACHINGS, just as I passed them on to you. Mark 7:5 NIV So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the TRADITION of the elders instead of eating their food with 'unclean' hands?" 1 Cor 11:2 KJV Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ORDINANCES, as I delivered them to you. Mark 7:5 KJV Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the TRADITION of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? And with no dishonestly, our trustworthy host: 1 Cor 11:2 NASB Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the TRADITIONS, just as I delivered them to you. Mark 7:5 NASB The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the TRADITION of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?" What say ye of this foul play? |
