One of the pitfalls of the Bible. It has been translated so much that there are differences between what you might read and our common usage of the language. I don't try to make out like I understand it all, but I am aware that my reading might not be correct all of the time. I have had people try to explain parts of it when I did not believe their interpretation. miles


Your ignorance of the translations is showing. All the Bibles I have were translated directly from the available Hebrew and Greek documents. That is except the Living Bible. That one is a paraphrase of the King James; which was translated from the original languages.
