“Christians suing one another”… ”Hostile Corporate take-over”… Church as a business… what more needs to be said?

That thread sounds like something I would enjoy!

Helpful Rob, thank you! I’ve always been concerned about liberal influence in the scriptures (and more recently Woke/LBGT), but I’m also concerned the other way with conservative folks trying to “help scripture out” as well. Sometimes resistance and back-lashes dont help in the long run. This...

I still have my first and second additions that were printed in Romania before Thomas Nelson bought it! And true with your comments on dynamic translations. The net is about as dynamic as I’m willing to go… Though I do use the new living translation with my children.

He believes in determinism of every meticulous thing that happens in the world- divine determinism. That is hypercalvinism. The problem with Pinks take on 1 Jn 2 is his inability to factor in the context nor the grammar of the possessive “our”. The world of creation does not sin. The world...

The question is not what a hypercalvinist thinks, its what does the word or phrase mean in context. For the KJV, but not the Nasb95. And the reason they are not is that it is referrant back to “propitiation for our sins”. The greek is not required to duplicate the noun again. The context is...

BTW I love the NET bible and it is one of the resources that helped me key in on this recent change in english translation.

I agree. You can still be young earth and use the present tense. The question is really why are translators doing this and is it appropriate?

This never used to be a debate, though. Additionally, rules of Hebrew have indicators for when you would use the pluperfect tense… and these are not met in Gen 2:19. As you point out, it does seem that the LSB and others have used theology to affect their translation, which I think is...

Just to add, why do you think the new translations are going with this reading?

Oh, I am not assuming conflict between 1 & 2, but the old earthers point to this to say so. Thanks for your post!

Hey there, was hoping to start a discussion on the verse Genesis 2:19. The pericope is 2:15-25 talking about the creation of Adam, Animals, then Eve. The NASB95, NET, and KJV render the verb “to form” as present tense. New translations like the LSB, ESV and NIV render the verb as past tense...

Yeah, finding a church that feels like family is hard. When we found ours we stuck! I feel for you. Edit; finding one where God is moving on top of community can be hard also. Sometimes you have to be the one bringing vision of what it can be and lead people into it by example

Saying it to yourself also… lol. You dont really come here to persuade people do you? Youd actually have to engage in dialogue to do that.
