To: Elsie; chuckles
I called your posts as "lame attempts at humour" - they aren't in the last bit humorous.

your little digs at chuckles are just "sez you"

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

A little dig?

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.
