MV`s compared to JW`s NWT

What do you have to say about this verse?


Acts 18:24(ESV) Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures.

 

The original koine work is graphe (hos kai tas loipas graphas), which is what the greek Jews used to refer to as the revered writings of Judaism, generally known to us as the books of the Old Testament. Most of the NT at that time had not yet been penned, and none of it has been widely circulated.

 

Until that day arrives when we speak Skapekearian English, all Christians are entitled to a translation that is written in their native language. Since my language is contemporary English, I shall read a translation in contemporary English.

 

i also seem to recall that the Scripture that says "outta Egypt have i called my son" was applied to someone else who was "competent in the Scriptures."

 

My native language is Tennessee southern draaawwallll. But I sure don't want my bible to read like I talk. Know whut ah mean ya'll? :laugh:

 

Standard contemporary English is the goal.(However, the ESV doesn't use standard English ironically.)

 

But,would you agree that God called what Apollos had in EGYPT Scripture,despite of geographical proximity?

 

My southern accent isn't standard? It should be! :laugh:

 

despite?

maybe becos of!

in Luke 4:16-28, the Alexandrian Bible that Jesus read out of is deemed this Scripture!

assurance n comfort for Bible believers everywhere, but that's unlikely to quell the Edenic hiss fr the KJBOs.

 

Shore duz :smilewinkgrin:

 

KJVO 1 makes claim then KJVO 2 quotes KJVO 1 then KJVO 3 quotes KJVO 2 ... KJVO N quotes KJVO N-1 and finally KJVO 1 quotes KJVO N completing the circle. The claim is now fact and cannot be disputed. :type:

 

Pure speculation and opinion

More guesswork and opinion. The fact that these terms were also used to address ordinary men and animals shoot that theory out of the water.

Now your sounding Catholic. William Tyndale yearned to translate the Bible into simple English so that the unlearned ploughboy could read and understand the scriptures in his own language as well as the educated priests. You stand with the priests in declaring that the Bible must use higher speech than the ploughboy speaks. Maybe you are part of the Jesuit conspiracy. :smilewinkgrin:

 

If it would help you understand the scriptures better I am sure it would be alright.

 

Its been tried (Cotton Patch Version).

 

Forgot about that one.

 

Perhaps you jest, but unfortunately it seems to be true. I have looked for the evidence and I can't find it.

I can't find reliable specific documentation that the early church had "great reverence" for their manuscripts of the Scriptures. Is that supposed to mean they practiced relic worship? How did they always know "early" that the manuscripts that they had were scripture? (I'm thinking about Philemon, for example)

I can't find reliable specific documentation that when a copies of the Scriptures became tattered and worn, they were "carefully copied and then burned". Who started this practice? The Jews didn't do this with their damaged holy writ.

I can't find reliable specific documentation that "certain sects" within early Christians preserved their manuscripts regardless of condition. Which cults? Name them, please. Why did they practice this? Was it because the Scriptures were precious to them and difficult to replace?

 

It would be jesting if it were not so true. I have tried to research many KJVO claims and the only documentation I can find for many claims are KJVO's quoting other KJVO's. I simply cannot find any supporting evidence outside of KJVO Websites.

 

Now THAT is the most accurate representation of the basis of the KJVO doctrine I have ever seen!
