If I recall, there is a bit in there about not changing ONE WORD.

[cmj328]

Angels are persons. Are we supposed to fish for them too?

Estupido.

[Telepathic Intruder]

In Greek, the word for "man" is "anthropos,"

So is the word for "man" in English.

A new Spanish version of the Roman Catholic Bible is ditching the word “man” for “person.”

Neither is a Spanish word.

I’m of the impression that before Eve was formed, “Adam” did not have a penis. No need. ANd I believe he represented “mankind”, not a particular sex/gender, since there was no human sex/gender.

But then, I tend to treat the whole thing metaphore anyway. But I have always seen “fishers of men” to Fishers of people”

The word translated into the english “man” is strongs 444. Within the context of its usage in Matthew 4:19, “mankind” seems to be the better tranlsation than “man”.

This is a great resource to work out stuff like this:

I vote for “fishers of hombres”.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Another example of how some people feel compelled to be politically correct.

The word “man” in this context refers to all people, not just literally males. I think we all know that.

I recall Justin Trudeau once said we have to say “peoplekind” instead of “mankind” because apparently to that mindset, saying mankind is offensive to women.

Really, I think some people have too much time on their hands, if this sort of nonsense offends their sensibilities.

These people can’t comprehend “The Ascent of Man” by Jacob Bronowski because they will quibble about, what does he mean by “man”? What about women? Heck, what about the over 50 different gender identities discovered so far, and how do they fit into all of this?

The German version is using “fisher of fags” 🤪

[FlingWingFlyer]

I like fishers of El Guapo.

Javier Gogeaskoetxea

Basque name?

[Sans-Culotte]

In Greek, the word for "man" is "anthropos," which is used more than 500 times in the New Testament, including multiple instances where Jesus refers to Himself as the "Son of Man."

---SNIP---

Gogeaskoetxea said the original Greek text does not include gender for "anthropos," so the translation should also reflect a lack of gender with either "person or human being."

So, is Jesus now the "Son of a Person"?

[mountainfolk]

How about we just go back to THEE and THOU. Probably other substitutes for gender specific terms. The whole world has meandered along through the ages, knowing and not just assuming, that it took two genders to produce a baby. That baby itself would be gender specific, male or female. Granted that there was and is sometimes a malformation of gender in a newborn that has to be dealt with by those concerned. Now we have all of our govt involved in forcing Americans to abide by whatever the commie democrat party leaders put forth as the new norm for anything, however deviant, that is absurd and unscientific, and is downright insane. Me and Thee all are having to remind ourselves of reality ever single day. Lord save us all!

[T.B. Yoits]

...then it’s no longer a Catholic edition.

[Bob434]

And are they gonna take every masculine form of words english, Greek and Hebrew and change them too?

[Verginius Rufus]

The seven “extra” books of the Old Testament are considered part of the Bible not only by Catholics, but by all Christians other than Protestants, as far as I know...definitely by the Eastern Orthodox churches and by the Coptic Church and Ethiopian church.

[Flaming Conservative]

On the face of it, I don’t have a problem with this, as the Bible was obviously written to all mankind, not just men. (It’s hard to believe there are still neanderthals who think women are not to be included in Bible interpretation, but unfortunately, there are). However, since this may, instead of making THAT point, be an effort to make the Bible “woke”, I would object to THAT goal.

[alexander_busek]

In Greek, the word for "man" is "anthropos," which is used more than 500 times in the New Testament, including multiple instances where Jesus refers to Himself as the "Son of Man."

Obviously, Jesus was a sexist, and the Bible verse MUST be changed to "the Child of Person."

Maybe even "of Personx."

Oh, good grief.
