Can Jewish law be fulfilled?

[astarath]

Sorry Smokydot so you are still claiming that the NIV holds more true to the Greek then the other 9 versions before it on the list. Do you have a study to show this?

Your personal situation was explained previously in a post by you. . .

Now that's impressive, courageous rudeness.

My assumption that you had just mindlessly blurted something out was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you would clarify that you meant nothing offensive. In doing the opposite, you've demonstrated that you can go lower than you've already gone.

You'll make it to China in just a few days at the rate you're going.:yes:

Let's see now, is that polite, as you allege?

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

And beautiful with a stunning intellect and a charming sense of humor. Athletic, too and with a good business sense.

And he has exclusive rights to insert Greek words despite grammar and syntax.... and he gets dibs on misinterpretation as well.

Just for poops and giggles, I looked up the Nestle article on wiki and they rate the NIV translation 10th out of 20 translations in their faithfulness to the text. The KJV was # 20.
(near the bottom of the page)
Novum Testamentum Graece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another red herring. . .

It's already been explained to you that the NIV has never claimed to be a word-for-word translation, but a faithful communication of the meaning of the writers,
taking into account thought patterns and syntax of the two languages.

 

[smokydot]

I did not acknowledge their infalliability or omnipotence.

Absolutely true statement. . .with absolutely no relevance or bearing on the issue of your ready approval of their scholarship.

Besides, I was just saying that sometimes what they translated didn't make sense to me, and it made more sense once I had their text.

"It's already been explained to you that the NIV has never claimed to be a word-for-word translation"

Exactly. But to rip apart the accuracy of the Bible from a translation based on interpretive translation you might as well go all out and grab the Message.

Sorry, Astarath, you got it wrong. . .read it again. . .what part of "the NIV is not a word-for-word translation of the Greek" do you not understand?

 

[astarath]

No I got that but for you to dig into the text of scripture especially when reverting back to the greek for context the NIV is about as useful as the Message as they are more based on idea and less based on text.

What does that mean?

Angellous has already adknowledged the excellence of its scholarship here ---> http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/2277276-post680.html. . .it's a mute issue.

I prefer the NIV to many other versions, and that's where we will have to leave it.

 

[astarath]

i am not saying the scholars behind the translation arent well...scholarly neither do I discount Eugene Peterson and his interpretation of the text. But both stand as interpretation. For text criticism you need look at the text not another criticism.

But at least you know his acknowledged game. . .and the why of all the useless posts, which are just red herrings to distract from the issue at hand.

The issue hasn't been at hand for a long time, it has deteriorate to name calling with no winner.

So can the law be fulfilled?

Your personal situation was explained previously in a post by you. . .

I don't remember saying that I didn't have children before. I certainly don't remember saying so in this thread.

I do remember saying that I was married, and was since divorced. That comes up in discussion from time to time, especially when I explain the Jewish view on divorce.

So can the law be fulfilled?

To fulfill the law one has to live their entire life without breaking the law once, for if you break the law once, you are a breaker of the law and not a fulfuller of it.

Only one man was able to do that, His name is Jesus of Nazaret.

 

[Harmonious]

So can the law be fulfilled?

By one person, such that it doesn't need to be fulfilled anymore?

No.

By people on a continuous basis?

Yes.
