The Hebrew Text Of The OT -OR- The Septuagint; Which Does GOD Prefer?
by FireNBandits inthe nt writers, when they quote the ot, mainly do so from the lxx, the septuagint.
a majority of the ot quotations in the nt are in fact from the septuagint, only a minority from hebrew.
when the nt writers do use a hebrew text it generally isnt the masoretic text, but another form of the hebrew text.

The NWT of John 1:1; Some Questions For Leolaia and Narkissos
by FireNBandits into get right to the point, acts 12:22 and 28:6 both contain an anarthrous occurence of "theos" or a derivative, depending on one's textual base.
in both instances these verses are rightfully rendered "a god" and not "god.
" why, then, the mainstream christian problem with the same anarthrous construction in john 1:1 being translated in the nwt as "the word was a god"?

by FireNBandits infinally, someone in holland (where floods weigh heavily on the collective subconscious) has built a 1/5 scale model of noah's ark.

More On Pharisees
by FireNBandits in"pharisee" is one of those nt words that english translators of the bible, beginning with wycliffe, decided to transliterate rather than translate, just as they did "baptism" and "apostle" and other words.
given the meaning of pharisee i can only conclude that the reasoning behind this decision was to hide the meaning of the word.
to avoid stepping on the toes of the pharisees of their own time.

have you ever wondered what the modern equivalent of a pharisee wearing a phylactery is?
