  • Translating God's Word
    Name:
    Translating God's Word
    Category: Science & Religion
    Status: Member
    Description: What do you look for in a Bible translation? Basically, there are two types: a literal (word for word) rendition and a dynamic equivalent (paraphrase or idiomatic). The first clings as closely as possible to the original language, that is, as much as idioms and word choice will allow. In contrast, the paraphrase is a “free” translation in which the translator seeks to express the original writer’s thoughts as he may interpret them rather than the exact words used in the text. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… This group’s primary concern is using good translations as well as using a variety of English translations. However, our discussions can cover any area that is Bible related and, or related to Bible study and research. Our two group texts are Proverbs 2:1-6 and John 17:3. Here are some of the areas of interest for this group. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. • Hermeneutics • History of Judaism • Textual Criticism • Bible Translation • Biblical Greek • Biblical Hebrew • Semantics • Exegesis • Doctrines • Archaeology • Bible Chronology • Theology • Inductive Bible Study • History of Christianity • History of Religion • How the Bible Came Down To Us • Customs and Culture • Study of Bible (Chapter by Chapter) ……………………………………………………………………………………………… This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you some ideas. If anyone disagrees with another, simply quote the person and give your logical reason as to why. Then site a web address or a source, which may be a very good one, also, it may be very informative, but it is up to you to read it and find out how the previous poster is not quite right and explain it to the rest of us. At the end of your explanation you may site that website as your source. …………………………………………………………………………………………….. There are enough hate boards out there tearing the throats of others out in the name of God ironically. That is not the case here. We are going to be Christlike and respect each other. We will pick the kindest of words when we disagree. Like: “I can appreciate where you are coming from, but I feel this…….. is the real reason for this….., do you see what I mean? The other may come back: “Yes, I see how you are getting where you are, but I must respectfully disagree because…. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Our goal is to do good research, keep digging and show loving kindness to others in the process. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. Your friend, Apologist
