A barrage? I would have been excited to see. But could not access my account back east. Seems Yahoo wants me to PAY for that service now. But I only have one active email account now. So they are probably floating somewhere in hyper space. sob.
I'll send you an email and check it against the addy you have in your address book. It is probably one that was deactivated. Then SEND THEM AGAIN!
For Clash and Plmkrzy:
My take on "dynamic equivalence"? It's a valid way of enhancing the understanding of readers. The various methods of translation, including this one, ultra-literal and middle-of-the-road, have their good and not-so-good points. To get a good understanding of certain Bible passages, I've found it helpful to consult a variety of translations, as well as translation commentaries, lexicons, wordbooks and so forth. Good translation is a real art, and as with all art, there are any number of opinions about what translations are good.

I have a question to Alan if this doesn't sound to medioker.
Not to sure if I will ask this clearly enough but, is there any particular reason why some interpret "prophetic" scripture as "literal"?
IF you like whacked out translations the NWT is awesome.
I forgot all about this thread already. Alan never responded...guess my question was too stupid for him? oh well
