Well I am not on here much anymore but there are many points that Bob makes that I have to agree with such as with translation of the Bible in different languages or other. Its more about giving the best translation possible, that I have to agree with.
Did the original translators have an agenda? Sure they did, it was to share God's word with the masses and the best way of the time was to use books as a medium for that. As for the original writings on the scrolls, the agenda was the same, to share God's word as God commanded the writer to write it hence it was inspired by God.
Now without going into a long explanation of individual passages I can sum it up into one thing that I was taught and still believe "Love the sinner, hate the sin" in that whether or not any sin that one commits or omits determines their eternal destination it is not my concern other than to warn, not judge, warn the person I love, the sinner, about the sin and by doing so you do it in love, not in judgment.
I have also watched time after time passages being taken out of context and its an easy thing to do, and to do it to justify something is even easier than that however when you read the whole of the passage and not just a particular phrase the meaning is so abundantly clear to even the most unstudied.
Now with all that said, I understand where Justin is coming from as well, as I used to think in that fashion, however after many years of study I found that thinking to be unfounded in its conception and Justin I mean no offense by that. I used to argue with people before my studies on the validity of Biblical translation ect....However in my studies I used various reference books, concordances, ect... and an open mind not to mention I let the words read to me rather than reading the words and the elemental truth emerged from that process.
I have not strayed from open mindedness and I dont degrade the life choices of anyone other than to inform them if they are doing something wrong or destructive, but I do so in love, not in judgment seems to be a distinction that is getting harder and harder for some to understand.
So are there really significant differences in translations? On the surface it may seem so, but deeper into the meaning of the word, well the meaning has not changed nor has really the context changed either, the meaning remains the same.
