Bible Note: Taleb, I think your example from real life (in this case, your own life experience) is powerful evidence that today's heralds of God's truth need to take heed that they present that truth in the vernacular of the man in skid row, the soccer mom, the clerk at the check-out counter -- not just to the learned, the scholarly, the elite. I think preachers and teachers of the Word who insist on using a "literary" translation exclusively, be it the King James or another, are exhibiting a foolish consistency which Emerson called the hobgoblin of small minds. --Hank |
