Guest Butero Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 18 minutes ago, OldSchool2 said: It does no such thing. "Modern American English relies heavily on present continuous tense verb forms instead of the more mundane present tense. In fact, the simple present tense is only regularly used in one way - to reflect an ongoing, regular activity." And make no mistake, this is about modern English, a language you are now reading. The issue is not about modern English. That is what defenders of the new translations want us to believe, but the issue is about changes to the original meaning, and even leaving some established verses out of the text. It is also about the foundation they began with. The modern translations rely on the Alexandrian and Egyptian text, rather than the text that was trusted by the early church. Bad foundation leads to a bad translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
