The Greek that Scripture was inspired in is nothing but trash to you?
Well, you certainly are entitled to your opinion but I’d consider the original Greek far better to build a doctrine on than a translation in another language.
Rome’s whole argument for Peter being the rock is based on a translation and it’s beyond ironic that Catholics disallow Scripture in the Greek, from the ancient manuscripts that we have, and build it instead on the English translation, which is really not as precise.
How hypocritical.
.
The Greek translations were obviously not “inspired.”
They were a wrecking ball swung through the Hebrew gospels, likely under the direction of Eusebius, who was trying to make Constantine the Messiah.
How hypocritical.
“The Greek that Scripture was inspired in is nothing but trash to you?”
Not exactly but the scripture John 1:42 is self explanatory.
which is by interpretation, A stone.
Cephas is rock in both Hebrew and Aramaic but stone in Greek
and exactly the same thing.
It is farther translated to Peter but it is not possible to change the object by changing the name.
Maybe you should consider this.
Matthew 18:18
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
I have no doubt you will come up with excuses, don`t you get it? if you believed anything Jesus said you would have no need of trying to change what he said.
It is like you said every one has a right to their own opinion but the most undependable people in the world is those who will base their opinion on bias toward those who believe different.
Many protestants only holds the view you seem to because of your bias against the Catholic Church, that is not a very good way to understand scripture.
“and build it instead on the English translation, which is really not as precise.”
The great majority of scholars believe that Jesus and his followers spoke in either Hebrew or Aramaic and the majority of them believe it was Aramaic.
In John 1:42 Jesus plainly spoke in one of them when he used the word Cephas other wise Cephas would not be there since the Scripture was wrote in Greek.
So if you want to know what Jesus really said go to Hebrew or Aramaic, Cephas is rock and a thousand different translations is not going to make it anything else.
But i have no doubt you know all of this but you just can not get away from this bias B.S.
