I am Curious

[archaeologist55]

what exactly is the point of this? Do you really thing anyone will say anything besides they want the truth? You really think someone, who honestly, wants a lie, is going to answer this poll honestly?

if they are honest, they will answer honestly.

i have found throughout the years that people really do not want the truth so yes there is a point to this. how many people will be honest, is the question.

 

Are you saying that if people do not vote that they are dishonest?

And if they don't answer at all?  What does that say?

 

 

 

 

that they didn't answer for the most part

no one is twisting your arm to answer or respond so why get your knickers in a twist over this thread

That's good, because I don't feel my arm being twisted at all, and I don't think I have knickers.

.May I get a list of " pure translations " and actual God-inspired text ? 

I have never heard that there is such a  thing as a "pure translation."   I am not even sure what that is supposed to mean..

Here's a step towards a Revelation from the Father in heaven.....

Titus 1:15 ► Parallel Verses New International Version To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. New Living Translation Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. English Standard Version To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. Berean Study Bible To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled. Berean Literal Bible To the pure all things are pure; but to those being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Instead, both their mind and conscience are defiled. New American Standard Bible  To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. King James Bible Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Holman Christian Standard Bible To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled.  International Standard Version Everything is clean to those who are clean, but nothing is clean to those who are corrupt and unbelieving. Indeed, their very way of thinking and their consciences have been corrupted.  NET Bible All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted. Aramaic Bible in Plain English For to the pure everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but their mind and conscience is defiled.

 

 

 

While this is a beautiful verse, it's context has nothing to do with bible translations which, by their very nature, cannot perfectly capture all that is contained and communicated in the original languages.  This is a simply statement of fact that all properly educated translaters know.

 

 

you would be in error on that

I understand Archeologists point maybe? .... when some self-professed Christians are given the literal truth of the Bible some will make excuses or get defensive rather than accept it, particularly if it means an opinion or lifestyle change is in order.

i think we can see some of it in this thread as well. there are comments that make one suspicious and if we look at the Christmas or communion thread, you can see more of it

What do YOU define as Truth, Archaeologist?  And, if you can define it, are you in possession of it?

That's a pretty crude and unChistlike comment to make to a woman, Archaeologist.  Maybe you need to study that Bible just a little harder?

Who wants the truth?

Depends on what the truth is to them doesn't it?

The truth from Christ, is it the truth about me? Is He wanting me to know who I really am, and what my words and actions really are? So that I may have a better appreciation of His saving grace?

Or do I prefer to know some technical or doctrinal theory?

no it isn't and just because you have 25,000 posts it doesn't make you the boss of others.

  What does the number of my posts have to do with you being crude?  Defensiveness does not deter me. Now....about that Truth.  Do you have it or not?

[archaeologist55]

i am not being crude and i bet you have trouble being silent in the church

I'm not noisy in church but I AM quite outspoken outside of it.  Still waiting for the Truth, Archaeologist.  you like to give your opinions, as I do, and I'm sure you have an answer. 

of course I do but since I am leaving tomorrow I will keep it to myself.

so far I haven't lied or misrepresented the Bible or God so you need to be the judge of my words
