Featured What are the specific biblical instructions concerning translating God’s words into other languages

So, folks, JD731 has called us "apostate," he called one poster "dishonest," he has not said that Bible translators are "careless with the Word of God" and "corrupted by being numb" (don't know what that's supposed to mean).

So, who's mean???

 

We are blessed to have him on any thread. His experience is extremely valuable.

 

Well, Romans 2:1 comes to mind, and does not exclude any of us. ". . . Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. . . ."

 

I'm simply answering your direct attacks against me and others. You know, it's not about you, either.

 

Thank you for the kind words.

 

Yes, you "mentioned" Bible translators: "careless with the Word of God" and "corrupted by being numb." You didn't say "English." You didn't say "missionary translators." You simply said translators.

You know, this whole thread, you've been making general, ambiguous statements and attacks, and then crowing about the great points you've made. In the meantime, you refuse to answer cogent points made by me and others.

I'd say this thread was a total bust.

Please answer before this thread is closed.

 

You are balanced, cogent, patient with us less than educated purveyors of translation theory. I appreciate you.
