You're keerect....that IS an "English" translation of the Greek manuscripts.What DOES the Greek and Aramaic writing say?For that particular passage?What does that passage then actually say...in Greek or Aramaic?It's pretty clear that you personally do not approve of "the Bible" as being God's written word.That's okay....you don't have to.Nobody has to.The new testament was written by New Testament people,after Christ's death(if you believe that,that is).So their original manuscripts were written in Greek and "Aramaic"....the circumstances however were the witness of NEW TESTAMENT writers...people who walked with Jesus and saw His life and death firsthand,not aged old cagers.Meticulously written and handed down.Copied.Spread around the "known" world at that time.
I will ask this....and I'm not trying to be cutting or anything...just asking....WHAT is YOUR faith,or whatever it is,doing for YOU?I KNOW what mine is doing,and has done.I could tell you specifically the unending ongoing gifts I receive daily...but this page is WAY too small to list em!I could also write a list of the things I've been "delivered" from....there's not enough room here for that either.If you want me to...I will...gladly."They" didn't believe Noah either.Amazing...he survived,they...well...we all know the story.Course....none of that actually happened,we all know that also.And the physical evidence of a worldwide flood...that doesn't exist either.Who knew?....we've been duped AGAIN!!!!
"surely you see the problem"...ummm..yup...I'm pretty sure I see it .
Just fer shi%s and giggles...the "original" manuscripts for the modern bible were Aramaic,in the old testament,and Greek/hebrew(interestingly enough,considering it was the Hebrews who rejected Christ)...yet they wrote about His being the Son of God,and well...you know...all that "fiction"
Repeat after me.."they DID NOT find seashells on top of Mount Ararat...or any of the NOW present Mountaintops around the world"....
Or this one..."The bible CAN'T be God's word...that'd mean I need to "bow down" to a greater authority".
Or THIS one..."You won't surely die"....hmmmm....I wonder why people are consistently and faithfully DYING at this very second.Don't they get it?They got promised they wouldn't...if only they would just...well,it's just a bunch of hooey anyway...right?
Or this here phrase...just written by some old coot with too much time on his hands..."There IS a way that seems right unto a man,but the end thereof is death"....Poor old guy....what a loser
Sometimes I just go into the bathroom,you know...look in the mirror....I can't help but say "YOU'RE killin me!"
