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

[Amy.G]

Was it really in his chariot? I'd guess it would be hard to read anything in a bouncing chariot. I'd say he stopped and got out.

Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

 

[Jerome]

The ESV is essentially the Revised Standard Version tweaked a bit for evangelicals.

Many preachers denounced the RSV as a work of the Devil when the National Council of Churches introduced it in the mid twentieth cenury.

Some Fundamentalists preachers burned the RSV in public. They apparently thought they were doing something godly. At least they didn't attempt to burn the translators!

No - nor is he saved in verse 37 in the KJV. He was saved when he believed. When he stated it, that was after the belief occurred. Without verse 37, we see in verse 38 that the eunuch was baptized so it's obvious he was saved.

Are you saying that his testimony did not show him by his own statement (v 37)? Are you saying that he got saved by baptizing without v 37?

See verse 36 -- The Ethiopian eunuch asked Philip the question THEN ESV omitted verse 37 -- WHERE IS Philip's ANSWER to his question???

None of the ESV translators were from Alexandria, as far as I can tell, and the charges of "gnosticism" were proven false on this board two years ago-

The horse is dead, Askjo.

Did I say that they are from Alexandria?

 

[Askjo]

He got saved in his chariot. The Bible is clear on that no matter what translation you use.

How did he get saved?

How did he get saved?

by grace through faith.....

You like beatings, don't you? :laugh:

Your exact words were-

ESV translators omitted it not because of manuscript evidence/history, but because of Alexandrian Gnostic's interest.

So you implied that the ESV translators were Alexandrian Gnostics.

And you still have no proof as the old thread shows.

 

[Mexdeaf]

by grace through faith.....

Perfect answer.

Thanks.

Am I saved when someone asks me if I believe or is it at the time when I believe?

Nowhere in verses 26 -39 said, "by grace through faith." Where did you get that phrase on vv 26 - 39?

Wrong again! I did not say that they were Alexandrian Gnostics. I said, "Alexandrian Gnostics' interest." They FOLLOWED Alexandrian Gnostic's interest!

Is there another way to be saved?

No proof? You rejected the history.

What is another way to be saved?

So, I take it that unless you are using the KJV, you can't use Scripture to back up Scripture.

Nice double standard. I'm sure it serves you well as you tilt at windmills.

 

[rbell]

No proof? You rejected the history.

And you rejected the idea of proving Scripture through other Scripture.

Intellectually dishonest.

Of course, you probably know that.

Assumes facts not in evidence.

 

[Jerome]

Anyone know which translation merited these irenic words in a competing translation's preface?

Satan has found as many translators as there are frivolous and impudent minds; and he will probably find even more, unless God give them pause before it is too late. If the reader asks me for an example, let me refer to [translator's name]'s translation of the Bible. . . . We therefore regard it as a conscientious duty to break the silence we have hitherto kept, and to warn all Christians against this man, the chosen of Satan.

That's what the Bible teaches. Did you not know that?
