Surely the copies that translators use these days are a lot older than either of those men? What are the other examples?



It might just be me not being used to looking for paradoxes, but I...

If you want to compare translations, www.biblegateway.net is a good place to look. They have most of the major translations there.

Edited doesn't always mean abridged. I'm not sure about Dickens, but I know with Jane Austen there are multiple early versions of the text, manuscripts, idiosyncratic spellings, editions published...

I'm going to be working from the more recent posts back to the beginning of the thread, and apologies in advance for the length and lateness of this post:

I agree that the Bible is ambiguous about...

I also wear ugg boots indoors in winter, and I have some outdoor boots with fur on the inside too which are great. Other than that, sandals or sports shoes depending on the weather. I also have to...

I'm also currently reading Chaucer, some of the Cantebury Tales (when at school) and a translation of the Decameron (when at home). Similar period and format, though different languages, so that's...

The second last year in high school used to be called 'fifth form', so it sounds like some sort of school dance.

Tomorrow When the War Began, by John Marsden. There are several sequals but I haven't read any further than the 3rd.

I think it's just his way of having a go at certain people who sacked him from a job at a custom house (or something like that). The edition I read had another introduction explaining all that, but...

I finished it this morning, not having read War and Peace. I liked it, but I felt that there was a lot there which I was missing because I didn't have the necessary knowledge of the background (which...

Awful. I've only read House of the Spirits (it's not like I'd volutarily pick up another one of hers), and I thought:

1. It was boring (I thought).
2. It was badly written.
3. Its account of...

Hey, I don't believe in infant baptism either! I was just saying that in europe at Bunyan's time (and for that matter in most of the christian world today) it was the norm of the established church,...

I've read Pilgrim's Progress in an abridged version, I started the original a few years ago but got stuck, what with the 17th century language and all . . . I'll probably try it again when I get...

Helen Burns in Jane Eyre?

Verse: 'Now we see as in a glass, darkly, then we shall see face to face' (from 1 Corinthians 13). And the 'he has set eternity in the hearts of men' in Ecclesiastes.

You have it completely wrong! I think everybody is born a mix.

Both? I've heard this argued from both christian and non-christian viewpoints, but being a christian myself I'll only give that one for now. I think that there is a mixture of both good and evil in...

I agree that how you live is the best way to communicate what you believe, to any age group. I don't think making mistakes is too much of a problem, because it shows that christians are really...

The only one of her books that I've read is We The Living, I enjoyed it, but I didn't immediately want to rush out and read more (unlike some other people I know). I didn't find it too much of an...

Assuming 'veni, vidi, vici' is the correct text, 'I came, I saw, I conquered' is right. -i is the 1st person singular past perfect tense ending. 'He came, he saw, he conquered' would be 'venit,...
