HMMMmmm..
I'll have to conjure up a Crocodile Dundee type of, "That's not a knife...", dig - just to make him you proud to be right.
Really?
I've learned so much from my copy of the Septuagint. So; you read Greek; eh?
So many times Catholics cry about context; then they don't use it when they should.
What your poor, tortured soul sees as a 'dig', others might see as an admiring
statement of an individuals higher learning; for most of us with any knowledge at all
KNOWS the Septuagint is a GREEK translation of the OT.
And; since this whole thread is about TRANSLATIONS and the quality of them,
any person able to read the SOURCE language would be highly valued.
Oh well; iffn ya can't understand the Vulgate; one must rely upon a less accurate
English version.
Don't worry Elsie.

You’d probably diss someone too; if they were poking your cart drawing animal with a sharp stick!
A question that comes to my mind is what is the first born son of Mary? Do you believe this son of Mary was God in His deity, humanity, or both? Is He not the eternal God?
Incarnation...duh....something I put “In” my “Carnation” instant breakfast drink?
Incarnation....a nation that drives around “incars”?
Though I read that Arias and some early church folks had issues grappling with the issue...
I just take it literally...God in flesh....and I’ll trust to let God in three persons handle the details of how it all works. Jesus said before Abraham was, I am..(makes a nice rhyme in the English translations...the fact of which, at least a fact I personally believe, was no coincidence of occurrence!
To co-op a line from a Neil Diamond song...” Before Abraham...”(dada daah dadaah...) “I AM Christ cried...”(dada daah dadaah!)
Yup...the translations into English do say..”firstborn” not “only son”...don’t they?Hmmmmm...
Nah Elsie - everyone see’s your posts as fluff. If you want to be taken seriously, then read the article and respond to it with sense - you could have asked chuckles politely if he could read Greek and whether it was Koine greek
Oops! firstborn, not first born.
In John 14 we hear Jesus tell the disciples soon to be Apostles that ‘from now on you have seen the Father.’ The only place these men could see God The Father was where He was in their limits well ... as Jesus. And since we are told that The Father is Spirit and must be worshipped in spirit, we can deduce that God With Us is The Almighty God IN the human spirit of Jesus empowering His works. Had Jesus NOT had a human spirit He could not be tempted as we are. BUT GOD had His Spirit Life in the human spirit of Jesus.
Better get your seeing-eye dog some new glasses.
And just WHY would I do that?
He posted:
Why was Maccabees removed from the KJV and left out of later translations? It seems it was in the KJV as late as the 1800's then dropped. I've gotten 50 different answers but most make no sense. Everything from saving paper and ink to the British wanting to hide it from the unruly colonists talking revolution. What say you?
NOW the question becomes, "Was there an ultior motive?"
Ok, I'll take you to the veterinary ophthalmologist. be a good boy
Is this a dig?
They were anti-chrst Zionists! Is that when they started fluoridating the water and "creating money out of nothing?"
A Bible without the Apocrypha is like buying a book with an important section missing from it! Why would anyone in their right mind do that? The Apocryphal books are invaluable in my opinion and add important details to events in our Bibles.
You're a higher critic who doesn't even believe what happened in Genesis. Why do you need more books to not believe in?
Stop your antisemitism.
Zionists are not, as you call them, antichrist.
Jesus was the Son of God. A better question is if Christ is the Son of God, does this make Mary the Mother of God in that same sense?
Jesus was and is the Son of God not in the same sense that an earthly man is the father ie progenitor of a son.
Jesus is the Word of God, not a creation, but part of God in the same way your voice is part of you yet not you. Jesus is the Word of God, the means by which the ineffable father interacts with the material world.
Mary is the mother, the womb bearer of the Son, her creator, her God.
My mother didn’t create me, God did. The same for you.
