Bible Question:
I have been having a debate on another forum and need some facts about first Bible, which was it. Here is some dialog from discussion so if anybody has any help they can give me on what to say to this guy, feel free. 6.54 in reply to 6.47 Kate think as you will, that is your right. Fact there are hundreds more writings out there pretaining to God and Jesus. They were not cannonized by man. Then some was later taken away for expediency's sake. What is that all about? How does that not leave you with some doubt, was the first inspirations of Cannonization somehow wrong? Why is it the Catholic bible an earlier version a direct descendent from Peter , "the rock upon which my church shall be built" has a different set of Ten commandments than the KING JAMES VERSION? Who had the bible rewritten for political reasons despite what you have been told. Now the Jehovah , which is a false name , Witnesses are on their fourth bible. What the frell is their problem? Then you have all the rewrites of today into modern English so we can understand it. However if you take just the King James Version and compare meaning for meaning they are clouded. After so many rewrites how can each and every word of the bible be taken as inspired and which version is the inspired one and why. J.Robert Edwards. From: Norrie (NORRIEJ) Jan-15 10:48 am To: J. Robert Edwards (ROBJOTRNEW) (55 of 71) 6.55 in reply to 6.54 Eddie, the "Rock" that Jesus built His church wasn't Peter, it was the revelation that Jesus is the Son of God, He is who He claimed He was. From the time Satan beguiled Eve in garden, he has been trying to get man to turn from God and worship him. He does this by many means and one is perverting scripture. The reason the Cath have a different set of commandents is that they left out the graven images one because they have graven images coming out the wazoo. They just took the covet commandment and broke it into 2 to make it 10. That would be a good example of a perverted bible. 6.69 in reply to 6.55 Norrie your bible , I assume the King James version is as I quoted as to Peter. As to the other again the Catholic was the first bible so why is it wrong and yours right? I am not defending any bible, as such I am defending the inconsistences , and people thinking there's is the divine word of God , this is where all the wars come from. JRE. |
Bible Answer: Norrie To answer your question about the original Bible was written in Greek and later in Latin but the common man spoke other languages thus the church was able to control what man knew about the Bible. Eventually men started translating the Bible into the language of the common man and now the Bible is written virtually every language. Today new translations go back to newly discovered Greek and Latin manuscripts and begin their translation. Many people will try to infer the church manipulated the Bible to read what the church wanted it to say. That is not true, availability of the bible to common man determined how much man knew of the Bible and what liberties the church was able to take. When the printing press came into being and the cost of printing plummeted the Bible soon became available to all who desired. EdB |
