Subject: what about the K J V |
Bible Note: Hank: You make an excellent point, one with which I agree completely. Further, it seems to me that if one were to carry the false principle of solo Scriptura ("me and my Bible" as opposed to the true sola Scriptura, "Scripture only") to its logical conclusion -- i.e., if it were true that all I need is my Bible and the Holy Spirit and nothing else -- then why bother with any English translation? If ALL my understanding of the text is provided by the genie in the lamp (i.e., God), then if all I have is the Greek text (with no knowledge of Greek), then surely God will miraculously enable me to read Greek and I won't need ANY English translation.) No one in this thread has advocated solo Scriptura (me and my Bible), but this is a closely related issue and I took this opportunity to comment on it. kalos |
