I am new to these issues. I recently came under conviction regarding the various translations so I began reading my Bible (King James) and found in Acts 26:14 where Jesus spoke to Paul in the "Hebrew tongue" and said to myself BUT Luke wrote this in Greek! This led me to be convinced that through the power of the Holy Ghost it is possible to have an "inspired translation". It is not a secondary inspiration or extra- Biblical but exactly, perfectly, super-naturally translated into another language.
From Acts 2 and other places I believe that God, through the power of the Holy Ghost and the gift of tongues translated His Word into every language in the World. I believe tongues was not just a sign for unbelievers but a translation tool of God's Word. These facts I am convinced of BUT what I don't know is what are the "inspired translations" in each language? I am ind Baptist and I see you hold charismatic doctrine...what do you think tongues was for? Quote:
Manny, I am curious about your thoughts on the subject. I see there are many variations within the King James people. thanks. |

When Jesus spoke to Paul in Hebrew, or when Paul preached in Hebrew at Jerusalem, or when Jesus spoke Hebrew on the cross, none of these are "inspired Scripture" in that they are spoken things. What "inspiration" covers is the writing of the Scripture by a human author once for every word in the Autographs. The outworking of that is that God would not fail to keep and preserve what He inspired. Those words have inspiration power in them. But God is not "reinspiring", He is preserving by His Providence (power to provide and work through history).
The King James Bible was not made by inspiration from 1604-1611. It is, however, perfectly translated and rendered. Quote:

Actually it says "wonderful works of God." Acts is a history of the inspired translation and pulication and distribution of the God's Word. Of this I am sure. BUT what I am struggling with now is after initial "inspired translations" what happened then?
Could anyone point me some place that shows the evolution of language? what languages were alive in the first century and how they evolved into our present languages. My "theory" is that the Lord inspired His Word in every language intially and has since preserved His Word in each language...were these languages the base languages upon which current languages descended from? thanks!

It is actually hypothesis. There is no Scripture nor historical facts to back up the idea that God inspired various translations of the Scripture. Would God really do this, and not speak about it in Scripture? Would God do this, and then have the translations only in some languages, and have them all different and many obviously imperfect? Surely they are human translations, not inspired. This question doesn't really mean anything. |
