I've been around a while, and 90% of the people online, as far as "Christians" go, believe the exact same thing (or don't believe is more like it) as you. They doubt God's words, refuse to believe God preserved them in one volume, and claim that we cannot access the pure word of God today. You're completely unoriginal, un-"maverick"-like, and sadly mistaken in your LACK OF FAITH IN GOD. Again, you're wasting your time and ours. We have more important things to do...like shovel snow or check our email. |

Just what is "the source" of the material used to translate the Afrikkans Bible? Correct me if I am wrong, but with Alexandria being closer to South Africa than Antioch, I'm guessing a lot of it came with Origin's fingerprints all over it. fundy |

A region's proximity to Egypt has little to do with its bias as far as its translation of the Bible goes; the whole of Israel is much closer to Egypt than Asia Minor, yet we don't call the Apostles corrupt as a result.
Oak != pistachio. (!= means "is not equal to") The Book says Oak, and it was an Oak tree. Why anyone would want to differ from that is beyond me, other than someone is setting himself up as an authority over the written word of God. |

http://www.pbase.com/beekeeper/work If you knew anything about pistachio trees, you would not have posted the above. A terebinth tree commonly gets over 30 feet, despite what you can come up with by trolling the internet. I make my living by dealing with trees, including various pistachios. We use them commonly here on the Central Coast of California, as well as oaks, and I prefer eating my lunch under terebinth trees. I am happy that you prefer the word oak. And I will leave you with that. |

OH PHULEEEESE!!...well, I asked for it, you corrected me..but I was being SARCASTIC! Still, it was a good attempt to avoid answering the question... what is "the source" the Afrikaaner translators went to after rejecting the KJB? fundy |

And you're not much for history, right? A little FOX NEWS at night? Tell me why should a group of translators care one way or another what a bunch of Englishmen did? Do you think that the Gothic version was based on the KJV? If so, why? If not why? Sould the Afrikaner translators have referenced the TR and MH texts, or would you prefer that they (remember their people didn't speak English) have used the KJV??? Please let fundy answer this post rather than covering for him. Thanks. |

Hi Folks,
Quote:
Overall, I always find such discussions interesting, often I find the "scholars" went a bit haywire in the late 1800s or in the 1900s, changing the existing view using sloppy reasoning. Or with a langugae fascination with Ugaritic or Akkadian or other cognates, which are extremely unreliable and tend to lead to faulty concepts and translations. The fact that you got a little snippy about a simple post is, however, makes me wonder again, as in Revelation 22:19, what is your underlying motive and heart about the purity of the Bible. As for the Afrikaans Bible, you might simply point out that the old Afrikaans Bibles are Received Text base, from about the 1930s, while in recent times they have the corrupt critical text behind new editions. Probably the early Afrikaans Bible is generally quite good, although they are unlikely to have brought any special insight into ancient Hebrew to account for any particular divergences from the King James Bible. Returning to terebinths, unlike oak it does seem that the common understanding is a small or moderate-sized shrub-like tree. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Terebinth Terebinth It is a small deciduous tree or large shrub growing to 10 m tall. The leaves are compound, 10-20 cm long, odd pinnate with five to eleven opposite glossy oval leaflets, the leaflets 2-6 cm long and 1-3 cm broad. The flowers are reddish-purple, appearing with the new leaves in early spring. The fruit consists of small, globular drupes 5-7 mm long, red to black when ripe. All parts of the plant have a strong resinous smell. There really is a ton more material about this for consideration, for those interested. Of course the explanation above, as you point out, is not a mandate for all terebinths, however with the word having lots of nuance in the Hebrew, it is again a decent consideration.
