[QUOTE="denbo88, post: 14607, member: 428"] [b]Re: Christianity[/b] I think I can contribute something [i][u]badly[/u][/i] needed in this thread. There is a lot of discussion about "translation errors" in the Bible. I cringed again and again at the inaccuracies as I read what many here have said on this and other points, But I'll just start with this point. Keep in mind that there are many "[u]manuscripts[/u]" from which "[u]versions[/u]" are translated through the years. Manuscripts may have some variations between copies on word selection or interpretation at the time. Incidently, Hebrew scribes were highly regarded as accurate transcribers. My point is that extant manuscripts in our possession today are not all exactly the same. So for someone wanting to put together a new version of the Bible, they have to select the manuscripts that they feel are closest to the original ones. Some are more highly regarded that others for their veracity and selected first when a new version is authorized by an underwriting group. [u]Versions are an attempt to put the scriptures in more of a venacular language[/u]. How would you like to still be reading it in Hebrew, Greek, Latin or Middle English? I think not. There [i]were[/i] versions of the Bible that were influenced by politics of the time or it's patrons. The King James Version from about 1604 is an example and for all practical purposes is a government publication. It was rejected by many people because it denyed the common people the marginal notes they so valued in the earlier Geneva Bible, the bible of the Pilgrams, John Bunyon ([u]Pilgram's Progress[/u]), and Shakespere, first published in 1560. Also there are versions [i]based on versions[/i]. The Revised Standard Version for instance, is merely an update of the King James Version (they did not go back to the original manuscripts). One thing though is very apparent on this thread. Some of you have issues about God, religion, and have used this phony issue of translation errors to bash religion and people of faith. Faith has never been a problem of the intellect, but of the will. [/QUOTE]
