Featured The Musings Of Mounce

Who are you quoting? What's up with the quotation marks? Don't use quotation marks unless you provide identification of the author.

 

When Jesus quoted from the Old Testament many times he went against your reasoning. I will chose the real Jesus instead of Y1.

 

Do all things really work for good? (Romans 8:28) Oct. 27,2016

I think the NIV gets it the most right."In all things God works for the good of those who love him."
It gets the word order right.

 

What is a 'Accurate' Translation? 6/12/2016

1. Please stop using the word 'literal' with reference to form. It simply is not what the English word means.
2. Can we become a little more nuanced in our discussion, recognizing that accuracy has to do with meaning.

 

Two Unusual Translations (Romans 5:6) April 30,2016

This explains the NIV's unusual "You see." The phrase does a great job of setting you up to see the entire paragraph as related to the proceding. "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly."

This verse also exposes the myth of word-for-word translation.

 

Lots Of Noise In Heaven (Luke 15:32)

I love the NIV's translation, "we had to celebrate and be glad." The father was under compulsion to respond with joy. He had to; it was the only way he could respond.

 

You are absurd. You don't get to put quotation marks around your words as if they are from some unknown author.

 

Your posts make no sense. Think before you post. You respond to posts of mine with no reference to my content.

 

Yes, that myth.

 

You didn't respond when I said Jesus did not quote from the O.T. word-for-word. Neither did Paul. Your position is senseless. You're trying to hang onto thin air.

Show me some word-for-word passages in any English translations. And I said translations --interlinears don't count as translations.

 

Y-1 --respond to the above. Don't do your typical avoidance act.

 

Did Jesus Hang On A Pole (Gal.3:3) Oct. 12,2014

...all translations use "tree" except for the NIV. But executed criminals were generally impaled on a pole, which explains the NIV translation. By saying "hung on a tree" it creates an image that most assuredly is incorrect.
