RE>>Brian, what makes you think that the Greeks were the "last word" in translation of the Bible?<< The new Testament was originally written in Greek and translated into Hebrew (after more than 100 years if I remember right) The Old testament was originally written in Hebrew then translated into Greek by "70" Jewish Scholars who knew Greek before Christ came during Captivity. That is why it better to check Greek versions to see what the words mean than to trust English to understand English is horrible There is no gender even the French have gender... Also what does this statement mean ?? He put his hand in his pocket Did Average Joe put his own hand in his own pocket ! Did Joe put his hand in Maouse's pocket. Did Joe put Maouse's hand in your Pocket. There's more..... You see the statement uses He and His but we are left guessing the meaning of those terms. English if you ask anyone who studies language is one of the worse. Let's not even talk about the spelling ! RE>>I have read that the Greeks made quite a few errors in their translations.<< The most reliable manuscript are in Greek and Hebrew.. RE>>you can pontificate all you want,<< Thanks Joe :-} RE>>the Dead Sea scrolls<< Dead Sea Scrolls are written in a Hebrew form that is barely understood. It is taking quite a bit of effort. Some of the words are common Hebrew while some are too oldeth ! RE>> I haven't seen anyone else around here that agrees with you.<< Do you know how many people agreed with Noah before the flood.. God alone ! Be careful how you judge God's truth it is not the popular stuff you can hear on any T.V. set. RE>>. In your mind, are we all damned to hell? << If I thought that I would not waste my time "toying" with you... Toying would be all it was.. like the Atheists on these threads. I do not know who is written in the Lamb's Book of Life I can only guess.. Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. There is the other "whosoever" 3 men died. 1 went out cursing Christ and ended up in Hell 2 went out confessing Christ but only 1 went to heaven .. Possible ? Math 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
