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

[Rippon]

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

Those are very harsh words;not irenic in the least.

 

[Jerome]

I know.

Who, oh who, would be so NASTY towards another Bible translator?

Any guesses?

 

[Jerome]

It's from the preface of Beza and Calvin's Bible de Genève.

The competing version the Geneva elders tried to smear as a work of the Devil is this man's:

Here it is again:

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 Sebastian Castellio'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.

Sick.

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.

When you read the context, what did it say?

 

[Askjo]

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

Intellectually dishonest.

Of course, you probably know that.

When the Scripture said THIS, you can't say THERE.

 

[Askjo]

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

Agree! You did not say, "That's what the CONTEXT teaches.

You asked how he got saved and I answered.

Well, almost 10 pages and no one has proven that a Bible translation is a work of the devil, although we can agree that there are some less than sterling examples out there of Bible translation work.

So I guess that means we can finally lay this old 'God only has one Bible' stuff to rest and get back to living and using (and in some cases, abusing:smilewinkgrin our Bibles instead of debating them.

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

Is there another way to be saved?

What is another way to be saved?

No answer??

I asked if there was another way to be saved than by grace through faith.

No answer?

There's at lease ONE "translation" that clearly has the devil's backing-the JWs' "New World Translation". In 1950, one Freddie Franz(who would later become big kahoona of the watchtower) and his buddy George gangas, a Greek Cypriot, sat down with the British Revised Version and re-worded(not re-translated) it to fit JW doctrines, re-named it, since its copyright was expired, and told their fellow JWs, "Here's YOUR Bible!"

As for Askjo, just Ask Jo to provide SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT for KJVO and watch him out-waffle Bisquick or go silent.

Talk about very little value in 10 pages.
