Bible Question:
Hi to all, I recall awhile back when alot of people were not happy with the new translation of the NIV bible. If I remember correctly there was quite a contraversy going on regarding this matter as to some certain scriptures and certain variations. Even certain one were willing to even to throw the original NIV away. My question to all is this- If certain Bibles are being retranslated ever so often, then how are we to know which translation even remotely comes closests to the Original Language in which it was written to get the closests to the correct interpretation? Your thoughts please! SERENETIME |
Bible Answer: Greetings Serenetime! Good question! Unfortunately, most people can't read Greek and/or Hebrew. Therefore, most will have to rely on trusted Biblical scholars and public reviews of the new translations. I think that new translations are important. Language changes over time and a translation which made sense in one generation may not make any sense for another generation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
