Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord art with thee, Bless art thou among women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. {Luke, I, 28}
Would that be from Luke 1:
"28 And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."
In the 1984 New International Version translation, yes - http://bible.cc/luke/1-28.htm - but that is a very new, controversial and certainly not TRADITIONAL translation.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Today’s_New_International_Versionfor comments like “It is explicitly Protestant like its predecessor;...” and the very simple and obvious issue of gender confusion. Modernists love this translation - I know that many denominations do not.
That’s from a Protestant Bible.
From the Douay-Rheims it says....
“26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.”
Sorry if you have a bad translation.
I appreciate your postings, you know your Bible.
Can you explain to me why FreeRepublic posts so many Catholic and Mormon teachings on the religion forum?
I get the feeling Evangelicals aren’t given the same consideration. Is this my imagination?
