do you guys realize that many of the problems you have with the bible are a result of bad translations?
here is a MECHANICAL TRANSLATION of Genesis 11:4-6. (mechanical meaning, this is what the Hebrew in the text LITERALLY SAYS in HEBREW.)
Gen 11:4 and~they(m)~will~Say !(ms)~Provide we~will~Build to~us City and~Tower and~Head~him in~the~Sky~s2 and~we~will~Do to~us Title Otherwise we~will~Scatter.abroad Upon Face~s All the~Land
Gen 11:5 and~he~will~Go.down YHWH [He exists] to~>~See At the~City and~At the~Tower Which they~did~Build Son~s the~Human
Gen 11:6 and~he~will~Say YHWH [He exists] Though People Unit and~Lip Unit to~All~them(m) and~This >~make~Pierce~them(m) to~>~Do and~Now Not he~will~be~Fence.in from~them(m) All Which they(m)~will~Plot to~>~Do
(see how translating hebrew requires INTERPRETATION?)
the King James Version says there is (were) unicorns, not the hebrew.
@ 1st response - Exodus 10:1:
"Exo 10:1 and~he~will~SAY "YHWH he~will~BE" TO "Mosheh PLUCKED-OUT" !(ms)~COME TO "Paroh GREAT-HOUSE" GIVEN-THAT I I~did~make~BE-HEAVY AT HEART~him and~AT HEART SERVANT~s~him to~THAT >~SET-DOWN~me SIGN~s~me THESE in~WITHIN~him"
@ daniel - the new testament was written in GREEK, and is much more like english. the old testament was in Hebrew and looks like the above samples.
@athiest cat - God didnt traslate the 20+ bible translations we have in english. thats just ENGLISH. God gave man authority on earth, and doesnt do every little thing for us. the people who follow the spirit of Jesus have no problems breezing through what some struggle with. but there are reasons for the things some struggle with.
