No Dave, I don't have a 'problem' with those
passages. Every translation is an interpretation. That'd include the KJV.
I meant for you to explain how you adjudicate
'insofar as..".

I have no serious problem with any translation.
Some on TT have a very, very serious problem with most
translations. DAVEH: Take a look at Mt
9:13 in both the NIV and the KJV. Does it seem to you that they are
significantly different in the way they have been translated? Or,
try comparing Mk 11:26. Does something seem peculiar about one of
these translations, Lance?
However Dave, I'd still appreciate your
expanded explanation of that
quotation. DAVE: ???? You want more
than I gave you, Lance? I'm not sure what more to say. What
did I fail to mention?

Re: [TruthTalk] Belief
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.
