Bible Note: Hank: Isn't it amazing? On this Study BIBLE Forum, all one has to do is point out that "All Scripture is inspired by God", and the next thing you know, the forum is bombarded by posts rebuking, reproving and correcting the one who made this point. I give up! I really do! Moreover, here is another instance where the Scriptures in the original languages can allegedly be improved upon. According to the logic of some, the ancient texts are incomplete and flawed not only because they fail to capitalize pronouns, but also because they did not place the words of Christ in red. I have nothing against red letter Bibles. In fact, I personally prefer a red letter Bible. But does anyone ever consider this: that in the Hebrew and Greek texts we cannot always be certain where a quotation ends (since these texts do not contain quotation marks)? Therefore, the risk of error increases when one decides which words to print in red and which to print in black. Grace to you, Kalos |
