So you believe the the Bible, in it’s entirety originated in English in the current form? Basic biblical scholarship shows the profound changes and even errors introduced via translations over the years. I’m convinced God intends for us to read, absorb, contemplate, and act upon the MEANING of the words in Bible instead of focusing on the literal words. I know many fellow Christians who can tell me what the words ARE but not what they MEAN.
That’s not the point....If the original text was in Aramaic or Greek then the translation would be accurate. I do not believe they are trying to correct the translations to the original.
Ugh, inclusive language. I had a NIV, but now I won’t and I’ll probably go over wholeheartedly to the Douay-Rheims.
Any other alternatives? I used to use the NIV for standard citations outside of the apocrypha, but now I won’t anymore, which is a real shame. :(
