Subject: Is is right to call money a seed? |
Bible Note: You write: "what I think is the right way to test the translations and/or transliterations is to let scripture interpret scripture and study words into their original languages." It seems to me that more often than not we don't test the translations; instead, the translations test us and our "knowledge," whether those things are so. It takes a lot of learning or presumption to get a man so deep that he is qualified to second guess every verse of every translation. I'm not saying that every or any translation is infallible. However, when one questions a particular passage of a translation, often it is because that passage doesn't agree with that person's doctrine. Therefore, the individual feels the need to change the wording of the translation until it does support his/her doctrine. |
