So Saved7 got some nice Ideas about the Bible and I can share some Ideas about the continuity of Fractals in the Bible, I agree with him about Yeshua (*Jesus the Messiah) is the Final Truth and the Beginning and the end of the story unto beginning-less Eternity, here are some examples of Evolving scripture and Scripture still being Written, and at the same time may End (Correct me if I'm wrong) the Conflict, Confusion and Argument of if the Authority of the Word of Scripture was Written by the Infallible/Unchangeable/Eternal Word of God or if the Scripture was Written by Fallible Man. Let's take a look see and Think it out together (Which means, understand my word's and then understand your word's):
New King James Version (NKJV):
Quote:
Psalm 29 Praise to God in His Holiness and Majesty A Psalm of David. 29 Give[a] unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, Give unto the Lord glory and strength. 2 Give unto the Lord the glory [c]due to His name; Worship the Lord in the [d]beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars, Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the Lord [e]divides the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, And the Lord sits as King forever. 11 The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace
Let's see how I think I see the Fractal continues or evolves with the modern english unto the New International Version:
Quote:
Psalm 29 A psalm of David. 1 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his[a] holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. 5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning. 8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert; the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks[c] and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. 11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Footnotes Psalm 29:2 Or Lord with the splendor of Psalm 29:6 That is, Mount Hermon Psalm 29:9 Or Lord makes the deer give birth
See or think some change's? Or have you ever seen the Original Hebrew Version? Is that the one which God wrote or Man wrote? or was it Man Who wrote? Which one did God write? Or which one did Man write?
You see the debate about the strict idea that The Authority of the Bible is not right to be changeable is both true and not true, in a purely Moral/Ethical way. I think some translations should be authentically, basely and honestly hold true to the original word as the translator understands and believes the Hebrew meaning to be, but I think some creative upgrades can be implied, now that we have access to the original (as best we kept it to be known as the same as was written thousands of years ago , which your invited to add evidence and opinions of this in this thread.)
I think we can be inspired at the most by the Bible, be creative, add new worded translations of Scripture, and books that we know where written on modern times, must be honest about that, which brings up the point of Scripture still being written today, I've heard an audio CD which I listened to many times over and really kept me through hard times, of a book called "What's so amazing about grace?" written by Phillip Yancey, Wonderful Modern Christian book that I would encourage you to find, the beginning of the book talk's about a Prostitute who was selling her 2 year old daughter to men who wanted kinky (not "cute" Kinky, but "Evil" Kinky) Sex, she talked to a women for help of what she should do to get out of this life style, the women said "Have you ever tried going to a Church?" the Prostitute responded "Go to a Church!? Don't I already feel bad enough!?",,,which he leaves you thinking and start to understand stories of if the Grace of Christ can cover all sins.
To me that's the Bible Being written today, like a Continuous Evolving Fractal unto today, all about Yeshua (*Jesus). Can you see with me that the debate of who, how, when, why, what if it was written by Man or God is a Fallible and Pointless Discussion? is this subject to me as much to you over emphasized? The Bible Should have Various Available Changed Translations and we should accept new Scripture written today like Phillip Yancey's book, I don't even think Phillip Yancey agrees with me. But we Should also keep reading the most original available version and not say every new Christian or any other book about anything at all is Scripture.
You have to learn Hebrew and Greek if you wanna say you read and believe it's the original word of God, Unchanged and Authentic, why can't you? you lazy? are you mentally challenged? I don't have to learn those language's even though I would like to, because I'm ok with the various English versions, I trust the translator tried to get them accurate, the various versions with some Difference and some the same, and I think that's beautiful! I enjoy reading the various changes in them, it gives such a different flavor of the same Crushed Ice Slushy, I'm sure if I learned Hebrew or Greek I'd get a real great taste! Maybe I will learn them someday, I'm not too old though I might die young, I got time to expand my collection of Bibles!
Any thought's dear Shroomery?
Edit: Many Translations of the Bible here at Bible Gateway.com,,,not in Hebrew/Greek though..
