ArchivedThe Bible is accurateBLACK: Quoted from sites From http://www.toolong.com/considerations.htm- GREEK TRANSLATION: In the Greek text the word (THEOS) and its derivatives, represents the God of the Bible. King James translators chose the word "God" spelled with a capital "G" for the New Testament representation of the Biblical God (YHWH), (ELOHIM). "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God (THEOS), and the Word was God (THEOS)." ......John 1:1 The same Greek word (THEOS) was also used to represent other gods. When spelled with a small "g" pagan gods or Satan himself is indicated. ".....the god (THEOS) of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not. ........2 Corinthians 4:4 SEPTUAGINT: The Hebrew text of the Old Testament was translated into Greek in the third century before Christ. The translation was known as the Septuagint. In early manuscripts the name of God (YHWH) was not translated into the Greek (THEOS); but remained in the Hebrew letters. SUMMARY: "God" spelled with a capital "G" means the God of the Bible. "LORD" spelled with all capitals means the God of the Bible. "god" spelled with a small "g" means Satanic pagan gods. EXCEPTION: The only exception to this rule is when presenting the inscriptions of the worshippers of pagan "gods." A capital "G" may be used as did their proclamations. What is determined to be the word of God is used by the manuscript evidence available. There is deep reasoning used to determine what is or what is not part of the word of God. For example, WHY DOES THE KJV DIFFER FROM THE NIV? From http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/bibleorigin.html- The reason the King James version differ from the NASV and the NIV in a number of readings is because it is translated from a different text-type than they are. A. The King James Version was translated from Erasmus' printed Greek New Testament which made use of only five Greek manuscripts the oldest of which dated to the 1,100 A.D. These manuscripts were examples of the Byzantine text-type. B. The NASV and the NIV make use of the United Bible Societies 4th Edition 1968 of the New Testament. This edition of the Greek New Testament relies more heavily on the Alexandrian text-type while making use of all 5,664 Greek manuscripts. The reasons that the NASV and NIV find the Alexandrian text-type more reliable are the following: 1. This text-type uses manuscripts date from 175-350 A.D. which includes most of the papyri, Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus. 2.The church fathers from 97-350 A.D. used this text-type when they quoted the New Testament. 3. The early translations of the New Testament used the Alexandrian text-type. |
