Taking Questions on Genesis

[Bungle_Bear]

There has to be a perfect Translation on the earth.

Why?

If It isn't the King James, which is It?

Why not La Bible du Semeur? Or 新改訳聖書?

Adding and changing words, then calling it a "better translation" doesn't cut it.

Not even if it's true?

 

[AV1611VET]

Why?

Because God is the Author.

If someone repainted the Mona Lisa with a smile, would it be a better painting?

By definition a translation is a copy of another source in different words. The document being copied would more accurately reflect the original intent than the translated copy.

And by the way, the source of the KJV was an arbitrary selection of one of many inaccurate copies of a copy of a copy of the most accurate originals.

But we digress.

Possibly. It would be if the model had indeed been smiling.

Please respond to the rest of my post. I'm interested how you conclude Jacobean English to be more accurate than any other language.

Was Jacob's ladder a wormhole?

If it was, I saw another one , a lot of them, in the fertile soil in the back yard garden !

Why ? I mean why it "has to be" a translation ?
Are not the 'original' in Jerusalem and in Ethiopia 'perfect' ? Identical for over 2000 years. No change.
Then, of course, TODAY, where does YHWH write TORAH? In stone again ? Or in living regenerate born again hearts ?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

No, 'twould still be an idol, actually worse than worthless, based on greed, acquisition of the worm-filled flesh and carnal minds of men, temptations toward corruption of all little children all their lives...

Why are you interested ?

Given that sex outside marriage is a sin, were animals married before the fall? Why aren't they married now?

Funny. Biblically animal behavior is representative of the behavior of the gentiles, who are outside of the grace and knowledge of God, and likened to "brute (brutish) beasts".

I think instead of relying on a 'perfect translation', you should study the original.

hint: YHWH needed, His Revelation in Spirit to spirit.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

The King James Bible is #7.

 

[AV1611VET]

The original went the way of the periodic table.

And for the record, did you mean the "autographs," instead of the "original"?

Where can someone learn of this ? Who else agrees or where or who taught you this ?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

The original went the way of the periodic table.

The periodic table , the original one, is still available , and all the editions that followed. (I think/expect)

I actually am studying Hebrew. It's fascinating and reveals new dimensions to the scriptures.

What I meant was, they corroded to dust.

Ah, so they have that in common with people.....
