: Obviously I proved my point in the typing of my own post. Transposed letters, misspacing, redundency and lack of proper punctuation... but the meaning is still there. I really should read them BEFORE hitting the submit button. : : I think the important thing here is to realize that it really doesn't matter what the letter says. The sense is the same regardless. No one should ever be taken that seriously in their speech. It is far too much of a burden to bear ad one only befitting lawyers... and we all know hwat depending on lawyers has led to. I may even quote myself differently. It just doesn't matter. In the case of the Bible, this is even more important. It has crossed many languages and many cultures. You just can't worry about it being letter exact to the original for one thing, none of us could read itin that case. And unless you believe there is some mystical code locked in the actual pattern of letters on the page, it makes no difference as long as the meaning is preserved. And I beleive that God has preserved the meaning for us through the guidance of His spirit and the inspiriation of many dedicated translators and transcribers. Of course there are bad translations, as would be expected. : : : : ***************** : : : : "HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LEARN HOW TO READ iF THEY CAN'T FiT iNSiDE THE BUiLDiNG?" : : : : Derek Zoolander : : : : : : I just checked out this quote line from Zoolander on the net and was blown away at how many different ways that the quote, which hangs on this skeleton (how can learn if can't fit inside building?) is rendered by different people. Can you imagine why we there are people who go to painstaking lengths to try and find the most reliable rendering of the Holy Scriptures? We can't even get a very popular movieline rendered w any consistency online. I have seen at least a dozen different versions of what Derek, the 'merman', actually said online. Let's see: : : : how can the children read if they can't fit into the building. d zoolander? : : : how can we teach them if they can't fit in the building? d zoolander? : : : how can the kids learn if we can't fit them inside the building? d zoolander? : : : well, how can the children learn to read if we can't get them in the building? d zoolander? : : : how will they read if they can't get into the building? d zoolander? : : : how will we teach them to read if we can't fit them into the building? d zoolander? : : : : : : do you get my drift. these are only a few. i wonder if the movie comes in different 'versions' for people w different beliefs or views on what the movie is actually about. just a thought. i think that it is very imporant to realize that nothing is untouched. even the holy scriptures have morphing text. : : : just an observation.
