And how about the Douay-Rheims? It's OLDER than the KJV (just by a couple of years, but still . . . )
ya bunch of lazy bums. Learn new testament greek and hebrew, or don't pretend that you care about the niceties of G-d's Word.
You can't understand the Koran if you don't know Syrio-Aramaic as well as Arabic.
New Testament:
Logos, in John means Word, but also Reason, and Meaning.
Love refers to any one of 7 different kind of love. Hardly ever is romantic love considered.
In Isaiah, there is no virgin birth prophecied, if you read the Hebrew.
And indeed the Channellor Rheims Version, Confraternity Version, Jerusalem Bible and Community Bible are all Catholic versions, as well.
The Roman Catholic Douay-Rheims translation was written AFTER the Tyndale, Coverdale, Great, and Geneva bibles (on which the KJV depended) (not to mention Wycliffe's 15th Century version, published before the Roman Catholic Archbishop dug up and burned his body)...all done by Protestants--often at risk of being burned alive by the servants of Rome.
Clearly a Catholic English bible was a Johny-come-lately, probably done to try to prove certain Roman doctrines--attempting to keep the Bible in their full control.
Which version? The 1752 version? The 1899 version? Or the original 1610?
It's OLDER than the KJV
I'll raise you a Geneva Bible (1587).
