Herein you sound like a Mormon, Kevin. Belief
overrides understanding. That's OK as everyone does this from time to
time.

You misunderstand?
It is not a work of men but a work of God
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.

I do not see it as "perfectly translated" (by
men)
I see it as God's word (transmitted & preserved
by Him)

Which version do you consider, perfectly translated, Kevin?

Ahhhhhhh.....thanx for clearing the cobwebs,

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.
