I am Curious

[OneLight]

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

She is, and so are others.  We also know a person by their fruits.

which post are you responding to?

 

why does she need defending?

I don't want an answer from you.  As I said, I have come to know you by your fruits since you have been here.  I will allow His Spirit to show me the truth of scripture, for His truth is in those who are His.

.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

Everyone who doesn't agree with you is in error according to you.

That doesn't make much of an impression.

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.

But what if theyre defensive because they have the literal truth, or at least what they think it is, and your trying to spread a false truth? Many false prophets will tell you to your face "this is the literal Gospel truth" 

Fact is none of us will have everything 100% right on this earth. We may seek the truth but as long as we're on this earth we won't get it all right. And someone says I know the full literal truth of thebi le it can be assumed that they're lying.

Hi patriot,

I agree in that at the moment we all do not fully know the truth, however........

`However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into ALL TRUTH;......` (John 16: 13)

And that will be, I believe, when the Holy Spirit has guided the Body of Christ to the unity of faith. (Eph. 4: 13) And obviously only the Holy Spirit can & will do this.

Something to look forward to, ay. Marilyn.
