Yes, because you don't read greek, and he does. If you had read what he posted, you would have seen right away that it wasn't the same verse.I didn't even look at it.
Heman often reposts the exact same thing over and over again.
I didn't know he changed one.
Why don't you just quote our English Bibles? You prefer YOUR translation?Yes, because you don't read greek, and he does. If you had read what he posted, you would have seen right away that it wasn't the same verse.

I usually do quote english bibles. I generally use the NIV, NASB, or ESV.Why don't you just quote our English Bibles? You prefer YOUR translation?
If you prefer, I will just quote the original greek. You can use whatever translator you like.Why don't you just quote our English Bibles? You prefer YOUR translation?

And consider this, There is a billion dollar industry committed to keeping people in the dark about hell, and they are the ones translating four different words all as hell, and sometimes substituting other words when translating sheol as "hell" would get too embarrassing. The church industry would lose billions of dollars if people found out that they didn't have to pay to stay out of "hell".If you prefer, I will just quote the original greek. You can use whatever translator you like.
When you guys quote 4 different words all as "hell", something is fishy. That should tell you something. What are you trying to hide by this phony baloney? So when the bible says gehenna, I say gehenna. When the bible says hades, I say hades. I can't read hebrew, but I know that sheol is translated as hell about half the time and grave the rest of the time, depending on the whim of the translator. What are these people trying to hide? So yes, I prefer the original language most of the time, what you call "YOUR translation." I'm not hiding anything at all, I want the truth to come out.

He got it Timothew, yep, he sure did, right after you translated it for him! LOL
What the Bible does NOT say is "To BE absent from the body IS TO BE present with the Lord". There is not even one verse in all of scripture that says that - yet many Christians today will blindly follow pastors that get up claim that such a verse exists!
You and Dollarsbill were going on and on about how Heman and I didn't know any greek, and we didn't know what we were talking about, and all the english translations disagree with us. This was spread over three different threads. When Heman proved that we did know what we were talking about and you didn't, the news of that needed to put in each of the three threads where you guys made your false accusations. Next time, be careful about what you say so that you won't have to get put down.this is a copy post from this forum:

I told you Heman duplicates posts alot.
