I have no serious problem with any translation.
Some on TT have a very, very serious problem with most
translations.
However Dave, I'd still appreciate your expanded
explanation of that quotation.

DAVEH: Ahhhhhhh.....thanx for clearing the cobwebs,
Lance!
Was there not just recently a big discussion
on TT about the accuracy of some of the Bible translations. There was a
little concern about the JW green Bible. And in previous years we've
discussed how the NIV version dropped a few passages that are found in the
KJV. Just why do we have so many versions of the Bible, if someone
didn't think there was a problem with the existing versions?
Surely they can't all be translated correctly.....do you
disagree?
Furthermore, when two Christians determine
doctrines differently from the same source, does that not cause one to ponder
why? Could it be the translations are not adequately conveying
what God wants understood? I don't view that as being a weakness of God,
but rather a weakness of the translation. Is that a reasonable
stance?
So Lance, I would ask you (or any TTer) if
you believe any particular translation of the Bible is 100% accurate. If
the answer is yes, may I assume you would then also believe that the other
translations are less than 100% accurate? Now, if the answer is you do
not believe a particular translation is 100% accurate, then would you take my
position and accept the Bible to be the word of God as far as it it translated
correctly?
I would sure be interested to
know if any TTers really do believe a given translation is 100%
accurate. And if you fear reprisal from other TTers for whatever
comments you might have, post it to me off-Forum. As you know, I will
not mock or denigrate your comments....I'm sincerely interested in knowing
your beliefs.

DAVEH: I'm not the sharpest point of doctrine
here, Lance. Spell it out. It's way to early for the fog in my
crystal ball to clear to the point I can read your mind....

DAVEH: You forgot to include the single one
doctrinal statement, Kevin.....
We believe the Bible to be
the word of God as far as it is translated
correctly; from the 8th Article of Faith
as found in the
PofGP
