Lots of people seem to disagree. They Know that their interpretation
of their version of the Bible is the right one.

Anyway, since this discussion began, I started playing with MacSword. It
is fantastic for this sort of thing.

Stop kidding around. We all know He spoke Latin.

Did the Old King James live in the times of Jesus? I am not an expert
in the British History, indeed.

Is there an effective translation of this joke for either the Roman
Catholic tradition or Spanish language in general? Some traditional
translation that sounds Right for traditionalists? The switch away
from Latin may be recent enough to confuse things here.

It's funny how natural it is for many people to assume God's language
includes Thee and Thou, as that was how English was spoken when the
King James Bible was translated.


It's funny how language changes. When Isaac Asimov's Foundation
Trilogy was re-released, he resisted the temptation to re-write it
better. But one thing he changed was the word "atomic" to "nuclear".
Our language had changed since he wrote it.

Dear Howard, thank you very much for your post.

Being a native Spanish speaking person, I am not familiar with the
language particularities of any English translation of the Bible. But
I was very curious how a Bible cultivated person, like our friend
above, could said that the "King James Version" (or "Translation") of
the Bible was preferred by Jesus himself. It seemed to me an
inconsistency.

But I agree with you, In Spanish, I prefer the Bibles that use a
language that it is "modern" (that means "understandable" for today's
readers), "serious" (that means not adapted, for "marketing" or
"pastoral" reasons, to jargons or similar that they were foreign to
the spirit of the original human writers), with a lot of "fidelity" (I
don't know if this is the correct word in English, but surely you
understand me) to the textual meaning of the original languages, and
"neutral" (without any artificial favoritism to the Dogmas of any
specific Christian denomination).


Thanks

That's why I'd be a member of The Church of the Blind Men and The
Elephant if there were one.

Well, on further reflection it's not that it's too mainstream, it's that
I'm too late to get in on the merchandising. I currently corner the
market on merchandise for The Church of the Blind Men and The
Elephant.

Not for me, thanks. The problem is that the CFSM worldview is no more
compelling than that of other churches, which is to say, not compelling
at all.

OK, maybe the CFSM worldview is a _little_ _bit_ more credible than
that of most churches, but still not as compelling as that of my own
"church," which also has a web site.
