Re: [TruthTalk] Belief

Kevin's meaning?   1. 'I do not see it as... Therefore it might be imperfectly translated   2. 'I see it as ...It is sufficiently representative of that which is necessary for 'salvation'.   3. It ain't perfect but, it is sufficient. Therefore, so are most, if not all, other translations.   It's a far cry from what you've said in the past. It's a step in the right direction, Kevin.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Deegan To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: June 21, 2005 06:53 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Belief I do not see it as "perfectly translated" (by men) I see it as God's word (transmitted & preserved by Him) KJV Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: DAVEH:   Which version do you consider, perfectly translated, Kevin?   Kevin Deegan wrote: I hold the PERFECT Word of God in my hands.
