[QUOTE="Dove, post: 448488, member: 535"] No, Levon. They dont really disagree that much. Most of the disagreements is in secondary doctrines. Blatant errors are obvious and do a lot to draw a line between religion and tradition and the Spirit. I have several translations myself. My favorite currently is NKJV because I like the flow. Any serious study of scripture is going to require more than one translation, knowledge of the culture and times the book(going book by book as the bible is made up of many books from various authors) what the audience was and the writer. It pays to have lexicons so you can reference the native language be it the old Hebrew or Kione Greek. If someone is very serious about learning there are a lot of tools to learn with. If it's really an issue of "all these people say different things and translate it differently" you can decide by investigation. That's what I have done. I grew up in a Pentcostal version with tons of issues with this topic and earnest genuine study explained a lot. There is a lot of debate on eschatology....secondary doctrine. It's all clear enough if you have a passion to learn. Usually when people make this argument it's more of an excuse than anything. And the ones making it are typically pretty hostile about it and are saying it more to shut down a convo rather than to enhance it. No one who studies would say its shrouded in too much mystery for anyone to know......disagreements dont mean that it is. It just means this is a way to work to draw near to God, and it says if you draw near to God He will draw near to you. We are called to be as the Bereans who tested the teachings of Paul. I have come to view it as a living Word that is very relevant today even though it was written and canonized long ago. The non cannon books are interesting as well.....but a few cults are heavy into them. [/QUOTE]
