Egads. "Successful in all he does" isn't even a literal translation, it's an interpretation by the "translators". The standard you cite is therefore bogus but hey, if it can be wielded like a club...
It's not that hard to look up using rudimentary tools. Strong's concordance or even a comparison of parallel translations should be enough for anyone to say "Hmmm, somethin' not precise here.. the wording is all over the map.. perhaps I should do some homework.."
On Judgment Day a lot of folks are going to be saying, "But the Bible said...". Kind of like the people who will insist that they heard the truth from CNN.
Sad, but true.
People naturally want to correct what is perceived as an error by the other party. Once a certain level of disagreement arises however, especially when you realize how far the gulf of separation is, it's best to move on.
The time spent isn't wasted, as long as it isn't allowed to descend to only shouting and name calling. Others will read the "discussion" and it will benefit their understanding, and some like yourself, add to it in ways that contribute to a better understanding by all.
When I see a "discussion" about the Bible turn into an argument, I always think of 2 Timothy 2:
"23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will."
Thank you for contributing. :-)
