Why should the German bishops care, given their eagerness to toss out the moral, marital, sexual and sacramental teachings of the Church?
The "final test"? How did they come up with that?
Death, judgement, Heaven and Hell. Nobody gets a free pass.
This alternate translation is not horrible. In many cases, those who want the Bible rewritten have no case. In this verse, their translation seems as good as the more familiar version, in terms of the literal word-by-word meaning.
I would have to study the subtleties to understand the original context and meaning of the phrase, as opposed to the more clear meanings of the words. I’m not saying they are right, but they are far less obviously wrong than usual, and they may be correct.
The rest of the sentence is “but deliver us from evil” so why would anything need to be changed?
Christ's instruction should be simple enough to understand. When we say, "lead us not into temptation," we're simply asking God to help us choose right from wrong, good from bad, God from Satan. It is God, our leader, who leads this enterprise, therefore we ask him to "lead us" thus. A seven-year-old CCD student can understand this perfectly, yet the leader of the world's Catholics can't seem to get it!
