- David: If you have to use Hebrew and/or Greek to make your doctrinal point, your point is WRONG
- David What I mean is that if the English of the King James Bible doesn't evoke the point you are trying to make, your point is WRONG. Only an ignorant person doesn't realize that you can tamper with the translation of the scriptures to MAKE them say whatever you want. The Jews say that every Hebrew letter has 7 meanings, and every word has 70 meanings. While I am not agreeing with this saying literally, it makes my point. I just saw one of these Bible-corrupters use the Hebrew and Greek to eliminate the deity of Jesus Christ. Other heretics use it to get rid of hell.
The fact is, once one crosses the line from reverence for and trembling at God's words, to adjusting/changing them to fit one's ideas, one cannot be corrected by the Bible, because the Bible is no longer the authority - one's opinion of what the Bible "should" say has become the authority
- Salty Why?
- David you don't believe in an infallible Bible, anyway, so there's no point in me explaining it to you, since you think God was too incompetent to give us his words in English in EXACTLY the way he wants us to have them.
Salty Is the Greek Text infallible
- David there's no such thing as "the" Greek text.
