    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    Most of Exodus 20:2-17 & Deuteronomy 5:6-21 with major differences in Black (KJV) -- Exd 20:2 ¶ I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Deu 5:6 ¶ I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    In a TR-based translation like the KJV, Mark 9:44, 46, 48 are identical -- 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

    Not of Brethren background. My Darby is a complete OT & NT with a cheap vinyl cover, very small print, and no notes.

    Can a Bible translation be a work of the Devil??

    Maybe not? The KJV also says that "for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God" (Exodus 20:5). And it implies that there are other gods by stating "have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3); an individual god would be "a god" among the "other" collective gods. Also see "a God" in Genesis...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    The translational difference of "God" & "LORD" between Psalm 66:1 & 100:1 is justified by the Hebrew, but otherwise the same in English (KJV) -- Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Sometimes I'll hear a line in a song or a quote...

    Can a Bible translation be a work of the Devil??

    Examples of lies in the KJV (or any accurate Bible text) would be King Herod lying to the magi about wanting to worship the Christ babe, Peter's three denials, Satan's "thou shalt not surely die", etc.

    Does It REALLY matter Which Greek text translating From Into English?

    Whether TR, Majority (Byz), or UBS/NA, all printed critical Greek texts are human compilations. It is my feeling that probably none of them have completely captured all of the original text. However, the Majority tradition may have captured more authentic readings than others simply due to the...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    Two examples of (virtually) identical verses within the same book are Judges 17:6 & 21:25 (KJV) -- In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes. In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did [that which was] right in his...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    Genealogies tend to be repetitive. For example, Noah's sons are given in the exact sequence of Ham, Shem, and Japeth (KJV) -- Gen 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Gen 6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Gen 7:13 In...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    How about the two matching verses of Psalm 96:4 & I Chronicles 16:25 (KJV) -- For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods. For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also [is] to be feared above all gods. And another entire psalm...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    Duplicate proverbs are Proverbs 14:12 & 16:25 (KJV) -- There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death. I copy all the verses independantly so that I...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    Found it! It was Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, 31 (KJV) -- Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! Oh that [men] would...

    I should also suggest that it is unnecessary to provide NT quotations of the Old Testament. Those are already well documented.

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    I know there is a Psalm that repeats the same verse several times within itself, but I can't find it just now. Ironically, a new one to me just leapt off the pages at 106 & 107! After a quick computer search, I found more matching verses -- 1Ch 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is]...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    Proverbs 19:25 & Proverb 21:11 doesn't really qualify; but it is still interesting -- Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge. When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is...

    Here are a few lengthy passages (including entire chapters): II Kings 18:13-20:11 & Isaiah 36:1-38:8, and II Kings 24:18-25:30 & Jeremiah 52. (too long, you'll have to look them up yourself) _____________________________________________________ II Chronicles 36:22-23 above & Ezra...

    Repetition & Redundancy in the Scriptures

    I'll get us started. Here is an example of some nearly identical verses from Psalm 42 & Psalm 43 (KJV) -- 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance. 42:11 Why art thou...
