I discovered an interesting exchange in this long-dead thread; and having no patience to read every tedious word of its many pages - I am wondering whether anyone else picked up on this:
From message #16.
quote:
David unfamous - "Surely it would be a piece of cake to create the new edition [of the Bible] in every language spoken by every person on the globe. I mean, why produce a book in just one language after that Babel incident?"
Joralex - "New version not necessary - original version is perfectly fine for its intended purpose."
I checked and found that Jorge has not answered messages since sometime in March. Guess he
can't handle the truth. I would have loved to ask him about the so-called "original version."
He goes on to assert that the Bible is good enough "as it is."
So, I am wondering, Which version is good enough "as it is"?
Is it the "original version" (which no one alive has ever seen nor ever will)?
OR, Is it one of the more than 100 "as is"
English versions which have been produced because no one really knows what the "original" meant to say?
Yeah, that's reliable! If God's intention was to spread mass confusion.
