A Doctrine of Translation

Contrary to this disinformation, Baptists are distinctive in that they do not allow "speaking in tongues" in our assemblies. Do not let those pushing gnostic knowledge promote confusion and disharmony. Being gifted in language skills is certainly a benefit to those seeking to understand the original languages of God's word, and then translate accurately the intended message. But exclusivity is no where to be found. It is a worldly driven power grab!

 

for ANY Bible translation to be "perfect", as you suggest, it would have to be 100% Inspired by God the Holy Spirit, on the same level that the Original Autographs were. There are some who are KJVO (you?), and hold that this translation is perfect and even inspired by God, and hold this equally to the Originals. By your own reasoning you condenm all the other translations, like the NASB, ESV, NKJV, etc, to being the mere works of men! There is NO basis or evidence to even suggest that the KJV, or any other translation, is "perfect", as there are variants in the texts that they use as their basis. Some, like the KJV used the TR, while others used the UBS or N-A texts to translate from for the NT. If you can compare these you will see that there are differences in the readings, like John 1:18; 3:13; Acts 8:37; 20:28; 1 Corinthians 10:9; 15:47; Colossians 2:2; 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 5:7; Jude 5, etc, all of which are important Doctrinal texts. It is the science of textual studies that determines which is the correct reading, and not just because I like what it might say! You will have to have a good working knowledge of the original languages, like Hebrew and Greek, as well as access the the manuscripts, versions, Partistic works, and texts, to be able to determine which reading should be accepted as the original, and more to the point, why!

 

That is your "special knowledge" not mine...

 

Cite a specific verse, please. Speaking in an unknown to the speaker language is miraculous. Your view claiming exclusivity is unbiblical nonsense. Baptists do not believe in "translator priests."

 

you are making a fool of yourself here, as your understanding of the Greek prepositions are WRONG! If you don't know Greek, especially the Grammar, not Strongs concordance, then you should not make these rather silly statements!

 

Once again you have gone off the reservation.Gnostic knowledge?
You deny Archangel dismantled your strange postings?
Do I have to look that up in the archives?
JoJ has been used of God in a special way having given himself to Kingdom service along with his wife, for more than half his life ,and continues on training others.
Your foul misguided attack has no merit and is to be rejected as puerile.

 

is that considered to be the best TR text then now available for use?

 

Nas and Esv are very good translations.... as are Kjv/Nkjv!

 

Does one even need to be Christian though to be a notable textual critic?

 

One can assemble and put together a decent Greek text with out even being saved? As know Thayers made a really good NT Greek lexicon for its time, even though was a unitarian!

 

One can know the Greek and Hebrew and ones own language. and yet miss the various nuances that make for really good translation!

 

Just think that there is much more that goes into into this then our friend Van would allow for!

 

They can be copies of the originals and still be scripturas to , but not in inherit inspiration!

 

The tongues in operation at Pentacost were actual languages bearing witness to Jesus Christ, the tongue in the local assembles were?
