The New Covenant

[jenny1972]

what do you mean some of the words were "lost" in translation ? dont you think that if translating means that Gods Word will not be translated perfectly then it shouldnt be translated at all ? a change in 1 word or removal of words can change the entire understanding of the intended message . Isnt adding to or taking away of Gods Word spoken against in the bible?

I did not say they were lost to translation, I said, "lost to us...," because there are some words we still can't translate into English or should I say out of Hebrew.
You're thinking of the warning in Revelation and that was for that book alone. Though I will say we should never add to or take away from His word. The idea that a few words that we do not know can change the entire message of God is ridiculous. I've read many books that have been printed with words missing or wrong words printed and have always been able to see what was meant in the book and the books message came trough loud and clear.

"lost to us" is the same thing as lost in translation thats what your saying the words cannot be translated and yes it absolutely can change an entire concept even 1 missing word and why would you accept anything short of absolute perfection if this is really Gods Word you should keep it perfect every single word and not add or subtract from it it might have once been Gods Word but has been corrupted many times over if it ever was inspired by God . what was written in the original greek is worth study if it is from God but the translations are worth nothing at all and cannot be trusted after 2000 years of translation and adding and subtracting to meet the agenda of the political catholic church throughout the ages .
