Why do we need translations at all?

"εν τουτω τω σκηνωματι", "in this tabernacle". "Skinoma" is literally "tent", a form of dwelling in liturgical use since Moses. They put manna in there, by the way, in prefigurment of the Catholic tabernacles. There is not shortage of Baptist houses of worship called "tabernacle". Did they, too, name their church after their bodies?

Giv it up!

You’re sowing confusion where the truth is simple:

Tabernacle is a dwelling place for something.

Peter was dwelling temporarily in his Earthly body, so he called it his tabernacle. That is obvious from the context.

Catholics must twist everything from the simple to the convoluted to cover their anti-scriptural pagan doctrines.

Christians don’t really need to worry too much about translation issues, because we have the Holy Spirit guiding our understanding, which is why Protestant doctrine is so very consistant, while catholics, lacking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, must pretend that they are following their catechism and blame their apostasy on the scriptures that they never read, yielding millions of different doctrines from diocease to diocease, and parish to parish as they all muddle in their confusion.

Let's not be silly. I posted verses, and footnotes, from two different Catholic Bibles which you choose to ignore.

2 PETER 1:

RSV St. Ignatius Edition - 13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body, * to arouse you by way of reminder,
14 since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

Nab
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," (8) to stir you up by a reminder,
14 since I know that I will soon have to put it aside, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.

Note (8) [13] Tent: a biblical image for transitory human life (Isaiah 38:12 <../isaiah/isaiah38.htm>), here combined with a verb that suggests not folding or packing up a tent but its being discarded in death (cf 2 Cor 5:1-4 <../2corinthians/2corinthians5.htm>).

Perhaps annalex is a more reliable source than official Catholic Bibles.
