Translating OT from Septuagint

[JonC]

We have infallible b ible, again, NO doctrines or practice is affected, do you think any version is perfect then?

Perfect for what?

That is the question at the heart of our argument.

 

[Yeshua1]

Thayer, like Dr George Winer, of the 3 NT Greek grammars, allowed his theology to influence his word definitions in his lexicon, many being quite subtle, and almost convincing to the untrained mind!

What wrong think did Thayer and Winer advance though, as Thayer seemed to give what the Greek stated, even if he might not have agreed with it!

 

[Yeshua1]

My point is that we do not have any of the originals. So by your standard we cannot have an inerrant Bible or an inspired Bible in ANY language. We just have a good guess. I don't think that's enough to base belief upon.

We have a perfect God, not a perfect Bible!

 

[Yeshua1]

Perfect for what?

That is the question at the heart of our argument.

For what Paul stated the scriptures were profitable for!

 

[Yeshua1]

So any translation based off of any Hebrew or Greek is infallible even if the Hebrew or Greek from which they are translated differ?

Are the translations of the Bible inspired?

 

[Yeshua1]

Perfect for what?

That is the question at the heart of our argument.

How does the translation process impact the inspiration, inerrancy, and infallibility of the Bible? | GotQuestions.org

We have a perfect God, not a perfect Bible!

You may. I have a perfect Bible BECAUSE I have a perfect God.

For what Paul stated the scriptures were profitable for!

How do you know? Paul may have never really said that....you don't have the originals.

That's why I asked perfect FOR WHAT? I may not have a perfect translation, but I do have God's perfect and inspired Word. I am so sorry that you don't.

Have you got Thayer and Winer

 

[Yeshua1]

Have you got Thayer and Winer

Have read them in the past, do not have either one today

I have Thayer and the 3 by Winer and there is no doubt that both are anti Trinity. Regardless of what anyone says on here about Thayer I know firsthand

 

[SavedByGrace]

This is where textual criticism comes into play, and great news is that ANY Translation based off of Hebrew.Greek and translated rightly would be infallible

Not really

 

[Yeshua1]

Not really

One can translate off the Critical GT, or Majority, or the TR and have still word of God into English

were they good ?

 

[SavedByGrace]

were they good ?

They are but as always we need the Holy Spirit to guide us

So which reading will be the Word of God in 1 Timothy 3.16 and 1 John 5. 7

One can translate off the Critical GT, or Majority, or the TR and have still word of God into English

Or Acts 8.37

Oh no. Things are getting interesting

How can you have the Word of God uninspired by God? Doesn't "word" in Word of God signify that it is comes from God and not man?

 

[rlvaughn]

Translations cannot be Inerrant, nor inspired, but are Infallible!

We veering further and further from the OP, but I would be interested for you to define your words:

• Inerrant
• Inspired
• Infallible

What do you mean by each of these? Thanks.
