Subject: Satan said I will how many times? |
Bible Note: Glory Bound - In speaking of versions (translations) of the Bible, you wrote "...only a few are truly inspired..." Now, which translations are inspired, and just how does a translation become inspired and who inspires it? For example, you in your user profile list the KJV and the NIV as inspired versions. Is it your contention that God inspired these two versions and skipped over all others? The NASB, for instance, is considered by Bible scholars as a thoroughly reliable translation and possibly the most literally accurate one available today. And yet the NIV is inspired and the NASB is not, is that what you are saying? How can you possibly prove that ANY team of translators or that ANY translation is divinely inspired? And, to carry this supposition even further, would you say that certain translations into languages other than English are inspired while others are not? Are you the author of these value judgments or is someone else? Regardless of whose claim it is, what evidence can you produce to show that any TRANSLATION of the Scriptures is inspired? What are the criteria that you used to reach your judgment? When Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:16 that all Scripture is God breathed, was he speaking of the KJV and the NIV, or was he indeed speaking of something else entirely? --Hank |
