Bible Note: Hello, Aixen - You concluded your post with the words "...not on making it (Scripture) literally perfect. Even if Christendom had in its possession a "literally perfect" translation ...even if it were translated from the original autographs (an impossibility, of course) ...and even if there were but one "authorized" translation permitted in each of the several languages on our globe ...even if all these conditions existed, I submit that there would be divisions still. There would be the persistent parsing of words and phrases ...there would still be those who insist that baptism is a synonym of regeneration ...that world in John 3:16 means the elect ...that all and whoever and everyone are restrictive and exclusive terms: they neither mean what they say nor say what they mean ...that we mortals still have the right to put God in the dock and force Him to give to him who "names it and claims it" radiant physical health and financial prosperty. ...... Admixed into all this ebullient chatter about God voting for the Authorized Version I see a pale glimmer of a tendency to lean to the letter of the law in preference to the spirit thereof. --Hank |
