The King James Bible, the Bible of the great revivals of England and America still has it the way God intended it.
“And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive our debtors.
Tatian had the King James text way before the 1611 edition was authorized.
>>>What’s the point of changing this?<<<
The Catholic church, and the fundamental churches all want to claim final authority over the Bible, instead of letting the Bible be the Final Authority over them.
Francis the Argentine bishop doesn’t have the authority to rewrite Scripture. Period. Full stop. End of story.
“The Lord does NOT really lead us into temptation”
If putting a beautiful fruit tree in the middle of the garden of Eden and saying “you can eat from anything except for this” wasn’t temptation, I don’t know what is. GOD set that up. God tests people all through the scriptures, even Jesus himself - His forty days in the wilderness. God may very well test people, but there is a way out (or a choice NOT to give in) as well.
God doesn’t seem to be much into this coddling, self-esteem protecting, participation trophy view of life being perpetrated these days. Life was very difficult in ancient times and it was dealt with as such.
More awkward wording from people who cannot “hear” the words in English. Which flows from the mouth; which one sings to the ears? The new version does not change a darned thing...and yet it sounds “mumbly.”
Then we’d be saying it in Aramaic. But I understand your point.
Is this post the Anti-Christ?
Furthermore, IIRC, Jesus, Himself prefaced it with this command:,
~~~~~~~~~~~~
What human is so arrogant as to veto that commandment?
I learned that prayer when I was barely out of the crib, and at NO TIME did I EVER think that it was saying God might lead me into temptation.
Like a typical Jesuit he thinks we’re all STOOOOPID.
The word translated “temptation” really means “a trial” or a “testing”...in the sense that gold or silver is tested for purity. It’s proofed. We should be asking in prayer that we don’t need to be proofed or tested...that our Christian lives should be succeeding and that in order to do that keep Satan from us.
Aww. The popester being publicly “cute” again, I see.
A caricature of his-selfness by now, means no faithful Catholic is even listening.
“Who is it that he’s serving?” has become a necessary question for us.
Like politicians...just plays with words...doesn’t seem to want to do his REAL job.
control and another little way to anger people.
“The Pope has no right to change scripture.”
It’s a translation - not scripture itself. He’s not changing the Greek nor is he attempting to.
Exactly... The original texts have been translated many times over.... King James obviously was the most known in the english speaking world... but hardly was it the original text.
I thought they were getting rid of “Father” too. They are going to do more damage INSIDE the church than the infidels on the outside!
He can go punt. I’ll say the prayer the way I was taught it 65 years ago.
