Subject: How are we to understand?

Bible Note: bravostarr, I am most appreciative of you input on this question. I agree wholeheartedly that we should rely on the original language in which the scriptures were written. I believe that when scholars retranslate as to make it easier for some to understand over and over again there is room for error.

Just a note, that even in the King James version there is a scripture that comes to mind that I feel is mistranslated as to one word, which in my opinion can change the whole meaning of the scripture is (Be careful).

Phil 4:6

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
KJV

NT:3309

merimnao (mer-im-nah'-o); from NT:3308; to be anxious about:

KJV - (be, have) care (-ful), take thought.

As you can see the word (careful) in Phil. 4:6 is very much far off base from the true meaning of the original meaning in the greek. The word careful is I feel contrary from the meaning of (anxious).

I would appreciate all to elaborate on this issue and thank you ahead of time.

In the Living Water of Truth of the Father,
