I took a walk down our road this morning and saw this.

The problem really isn't with "modern translations" but with the modern English language. In modern English, the meaning of 'you' (whether it is signal or plural) is generally understood within the context of the message. You've brought this up in posts repeatedly. Translations are imperfect...

Synopsis: An interview of a former senior administrator of the Social Security System that recognized antiquated system but was afraid to change it. Now he's fearful that that this administration will destroy what many generations of bureaucracy built. Rob

Colossians is rich in its declaration of the richness and sufficiency of Christ. The ESV labels Colossians 1:15-23, The Preeminence of Christ. The NIV titles the same verses, The Supremacy of the Son of God. The NET gives the label The Supremacy of Christ to Colossians 1:15-20. And The...

Interesting Alan Dale Gross. I still am quite skeptical. I found a source of the quote: ... God is indeed present in Esther, but He is “hidden.” This venerable understanding of the book can be found already in the Talmud. In b. Ḥul. 139a the question is posed, “Where is Esther (אסתר) indicated...

1 Corinthians 4:13 (AV 1873) being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 1 Corinthians 4:13 (NKJV) being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now. 1...

The last time I renewed my Passport I realized the government knows more about me than I do. Rob

Reminds me of a passage in Chaim Potok's classic novel, The Chosen. I picked up a signed copy years ago; he lived in Merion, Pennsylvania, not far from a bookstore I frequented. One of the main character's father is a tsadik, more than a simple Rabbi, a Righteous One. In this passage he...

Two things brought this thread to my attention today: (1) Tomorrow my church begins a series of new electives prior to the service on Sunday; one of them is on FASTING. (2) An article in the Logos Bible Blog last month was on FASTING: "How to Fast For God: What Fasting Is, Why it Matters &...

President Trump says he will pardon Pete Rose [LINK] "Over the next few weeks I will be signing a complete pardon of Pete Rose, who shouldn’t have been gambling on baseball, but only bet on his team winning," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Major League Baseball didn’t have the courage or...

Battling childhood cancer for a second time by Kaitlyn Hughes in the Duquesne Duke Publication (Feb 27, 2025)

Honestly, I've NEVER never had to buy eggs! They just magically appear in the fridge! It's totally amazing!!! ((My wife does the shopping. She says the Amish eggs are cheaper but still pricey.)) The Amish live by their own rules, I've given up trying to figure out their rules. Many of the...

My, times have changed! As a public school elementary student in Cincinnati, Ohio, we were brought to a number of different places of worship...I don't think a mosque was one of them though, maybe??? We also sang the first verse of My Country Tis Of Thee each morning... and recited the pledge...

We buy eggs from the farmer down the street from us. Free range chickens - they look quite healthy; in the cool weather the chickens are out in the field. We bring our own egg containers and exchange it for one filled with eggs. They are not too cheap... the Amish are a shrewd business people...

Genesis 12:1-3 The Torah: The Five Books of Moses. The New JPS Translation (1962) The LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your native land and from your father's house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, And I will bless you; I will make your name great, And you...

I have no personal knowledge of Farsi (none, nothing, totally ignorant...). But "The KJV Store" recommends the Farsi (Persian) Contemporary Translation ‎[International Bible Society, 1995] LINK I could only guess that it was translated from a textus receptus. Though oddly enough, it is...

This is taking an idea and running it far beyond its intended purpose. TEKTON (Gr. τέκτων) is used only twice in the NT, the first time in describing the profession of Jesus father, Joseph (Matt. 13:55), and the second time to describe the profession of Jesus (Mark 6:3). The profession...

I'm curious, why then would you insert yourself into a thread discussing the English Standard Version?
