Bible Note: Hi, RoS! You are correct in being assertive about engaging debates on the Word. We are called to be ready to answer about our belief in Christ Jesus. You make an excellent point about the translators choosing in error the wrong word, or putting emphasis on the wrong meaning. We must also understand that the Bible is not a historical book, full of dates, names, and chronicles. Also, we must take into consideration the people (customs and languages) and the period for which the various books were written (as direct recipients). Sadly, most of the non-believers, as well as some who profess to believe, think that they can deminish the Truth be applying mothern logic and rhetoric to what they perceive to be errors or gaps in the Bible. This is not to say that we should live in a vacuum: How then are they to call on him if they have not come to believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard of him? And how will they hear of him unless there is a preacher for them? And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As scripture says: How beautiful are the feet of the messenger of good news. (Romans 10:14-15) God Bless! |
