“The light shone on a face imprinted with more odd and unwholesome tales than a warehouse full of Bibles.”
“Many who read their Bibles make the great mistake of confining all their reading to certain portions of the Bible which they enjoy. In this way they get no knowledge of the Bible as a whole. They miss altogether many of the most important phases of Bible truth.”
“The Bible has been through at least half a dozen translations by the time you read it. Plus, when the word of God is infected by the hand of man, that is, written down, it is tainted.”
“luther, he ruined the bible by translating it into their own language.”
“As the Italian proverb says, 'Translators are traitors.' At some level we all are traitors to the text, saying a little less than the Greek says (thus leaving some meaning behind) or a little more (when trying to clarify). Under- and over-translation.A good reason to learn Greek and Hebrew, and an even better reason to read more than one translation.”
