Subject: How inspired is the NAS Bible today? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, Once again, we are very close to agreement on this issue, as we both feel that God has "preserved" His Word. It seems to me that you are saying that a translator puts the original text in a new language, as opposed to a commentator who tries to explain the text. However, if God is not involved in the translation process, then isn't the translator also just trying to take an idea expressed in Greek or Hebrew and "explain" it in English (or whatever). That just seems to be to close to the same thing. In order for it to make sense to me that the Bible is more authoritative than a commentary, I think that God must have been inspiring the translation process. It also seems to me that God inspiring the copy/translation process is the only thing that could have stopped the "telephone game" phenomenum. |
