Let's see - your post #94 "So; you read Greek; eh?" is a good example

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.

In the 1500's, some Roman Catholics had argued for an one-perfect-translation-only view [the Latin Vulgate]. They claimed the Latin Vulgate was perfect and even superior to God's Word in the original languages. This view was represented by a 1582 book entitled A Discovery of the Manifold Corruptions of the Holy Scriptures by the Heretics of our Day by Gregory Martin, one of the Roman Catholic translators of the Rheims.

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
