    You complained about one reference being a translation from Hebrew into English and the other being a translation of Greek into English, implying that an equivalency between the two English words does not necessarily mean an equivalency between the terms from which they were translated. Hence I mentioned maybe looking into the Greek translation of the Hebrew as a better way of determining if the words were equivalent. This ain't rocket surgery.

    Which would include me. If you didn't want to derail the thread by feigning victimhood, you shouldn't have feigned victimhood.

    Still makes no sense. Do you speak Greek? No.

    Is this going to be a habit with you, arguing over things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand while blaming me for the things you do??

    In the KJV the Hebrew word for "earth" is translated most often as "land". The Greek word, is translated as dry land (as opposed to the water), territory, country. Which is it? Context, context, context.

    Whereas you, on the other hand, make assumptions and claim them to be false without evidence.

    I responded to a statement you made. It is only off topic if your original statement was off topic . . . which would e an you are the one presenting nothing to do with the topic at hand and blaming me for it. Is this going to be a habit? Very meta.

    Anything that I have stated to be false has not been proven true. Witness all of your statements. You have provided zero evidence to support your silly claims and just seem to get angered when challenged. Not a winning debate tactic but then you continue to use false statements and assumptions to support your lack of truths. Extremely telling as to your capabilities.

    You do realize that you reference a "version" of a bible, thus admitting that there are other bibles that you are now claiming to be correct, right? So which version, changed over the years, is correct? Context, context, context.

    As a prime example of it, you should admit that.

    Read the original "version" of the bible, if you can. I know that you can't because it is either in Hebrew or Greek which require some knowledge to read. Just assuming what you wish to be true only goes to show just how lacking in truth and knowledge you truly are. A petulant child wishing to play with adults and getting his butt kicked with his every post.

    BTW, it would seem to you who is trying to say the wording has to be acceptable to a 21st century mind and the original words and meanings are worthless. So don't be surprised when your claims are judged to be worthless, especially considering the source.

    So you don't know what you are talking about so you attack me personally instead of really sticking to the topic. Typical.

    I did. You didn't. I told you what the words meant. And still you are trying to bluff your way out of an argument you won't win. You have yet to address the actual meat of the argument or bring up one fact related to it, you are simply playing internet tough guy by talking about me instead of the topic and arguing semantics.

    Now, come on back with some more personal attacks that have nothing to do with the topic.

    Scholars reportedly had great difficulty with the translation, as no version of the Bible has ever been translated into Koine Greek or biblical Hebrew before. Those behind the translation expressed their desire for even people who speak the original biblical languages to be able to experience the glory of the Word of God as rendered in the re-inspired Authorized Version.

    You have been taking verses out of context.
