Subject: Do you own a TNIV? |
Bible Note: Thank-you for your reply, Makarios, nice to hear from you again. I like the versions that you sent along w/the requested info. As you see, what concerns me with any translation is how they react to Jesus. If you noticed, I included a paraphrased version that tells us Jesus is a reflection of God's Glory. This is I feel, inaccurate. It is telling me that Jesus is to the moon as God is to the sun, (the moon does not give off any light of it's own, but reflects from another source). Other translations I like use the words Refulgence, or Effulgence (of God's Glory), which means a brilliant radiance from within. This is something I use to test different versions, but I enjoyed paraphrased versions when I first started studying God's Word and did not care what others thought. I am a firm believer in the very best Bible in print is the one that you will read. This plants the seed and the Holy Spirit will nurture the seed for growth as God sees fit. again, Thank you kindly, Peace and Blessings to you, too, brother. Tim |
