Quote:Then it shouldn't use the word "replenished" then? Should it?You guys always ask why there are so many different bibles.. This is why. Because of who and how the word is 'interpreted.' Most main stream bibles are 'literal' tranlations. meaning if a word written in the orginal is recognized as a given word in english then it is translated literally even if the interpreted meaning may give a different meaning than what ther orginal intended. That is why we have: study bibles, abridged, various dominationally specific bibles, and easy to read versions.
Thats the wrong word to use.
Litterally translated bibles or traditional bibles, require more than just a casual reading for a deeper understanding.
As I understand it the original version of the bible, assuming it is indeed the original, could be interpreted many different ways even if read in its native language.
Do you deny this?
