What do you mean by "liked"? The christian expert didn't "like" their translation, because it was inauthentic.
> it’s that there is ambiguity
ok, then doesn't this undercut your claim that the bible says women must merry their rapists?
> Your knowledge of .. is quite poor.
You decided to make an entirely different point about the bible. In fact you previously implied the bible was the word of god, why is it my knowledge that is poor?
> the reason you like one expert over another
how do you figure? what do you know about me? how are you able to judge two experts; you haven't responded at all in the meat of the issue, the post about the Hebrew KJB is based on, just repeating "experts experts experts" like it's some damming logic puzzle - it's not, experts can be wrong, biased, or not experts at all.
> This is an example of picking and choosing..
like picking "1 + 1 = 2" over "1 + 1 = 3"? you have to demonstrate I picked one interpretation because of personal bias rather than merit, which you haven't. Rather, it is ironically your bias, waiting to make this point, that has resulted in you interpreting things this way.
- synetic 3y agoA person who believes the bible is the word of god has to decide what they mean by bible. They have to decide on which translation to use, then which version: coptic, catholic, protestant, orthodox - they each differ on what the books of the bible are. Once they decide which collection of words constitute “the word or god” they have to decide on what they mean. The criteria used to decide this usually, mostly boils down to which one is the most palatable to them personally. You and others believe NIV is a bad translation but the people who made the translation believe otherwise. All of this, including everything I wrote above, results in ambiguity and confusion for the masses. If god does exist then he is profoundly incompetent at delivering his message. He is a moron who is very bad at writing clear instructions and is incredibly immoral given the laws he had the Israelites follow. All versions and translations of the bible contain immoral rules and are poorly written and unclear.
