Biblical Christianity 101, a study of the book of Romans

[jenny1972]

" again no... I Never said the bible was mis translated EVER. I SAID YOUR USE OF MODERN ENGLISH IS INCOMPLETE WHEN READING ANYTHING TRANSLATED!
Have you NEVER taken a foreign language course ever? In any translation you loose 10 to 30% of what is being communicated. Because certain elements will not translate. Hence the term lost in translation. Things like grammar, verbage, syntax, cultural, social sayings and idioms. You ever speak to someone who is just learning English and they may have the words right but they are in the wrong 'tense'(Past/Present) Show masculine properties when they are speaking of a female, or the words are in the wrong order? "


...... and therefore it is not perfectly translated when it is translated to another language you use word substitutes much of the time because the translators have no choice but to do that  right ?  well that would be sufficient for less important writings but if it is the Word of God thats pretty important right so every single word should be exact and not be compromised in the slightest as even a slight mistranslation of one word can change an entire concept (do not add or subtract from the Word remember?) so if it couldnt be translated perfectly there should have never been an attempt to do it and people instead should have kept the original and learned greek

yes like i said modern christianity at the very least is not correct because it does not follow the original greek christians do not investigate the original noone does that they just listen to their preacher who has it wrong because the book he learned from and his teachers are wrong its been a long long time since people went by the original greek translation . thats what corruption is

corruption: the process by which something, typically a word or expression, is changed from its original use or meaning to one that is regarded as erroneous or debased.

What are you talking about?!?! Maybe take a honest look at just this thread. I have quoted the greek many many times to establish clarity in this thread. You may have come from a church of snake handlers, but MOST Christian movements push the greek translation over any other.

i have been to many different modern churches and none have pulled out a greek bible and translated from a greek bible to english , people either use the KJV or modern english translated bible

drich do you interpret all of the bible literally or do you just pick and choose what is literal and what isnt literal?

With a prolonged study of the koine greek, Should also comes a study of OT Jewish literary styles as well as a study in historical recordings. Once one can identify which styles of recording/writting is being utilized then identifying "a story" over what is meant to be taken literal  is not difficult.

well i agree with you on that but convincing christians that they need to do that is another story

Sex is a choice, sexuality isn't.

Very good!

Sex outside of a sanctified marriage is a sin, sexuality in of itself is not.

so married gay couples who have sex are no longer sinning then right ?
