Footnotes:

1. Acts 4:11 Or cornerstone
2. Acts 4:11 Psalm 118:22

To me, footnotes like this one show the incompetence of the translation "experts" of the NIV. They confuse the readers as to which word (in this verse is offered two words of opposite meanings)is intended by God. God's word now becomes a series of multiple choice questions that the readers must decide what the word of God truly says.

Yes! Did He say that? Which one? Did he say it at all?

You're understanding Genesis 3 better now brother.

Consistency, my dear tmonk, consistency...

That's the ticket!

cornerstone/corner stone = head of the corner = head stone = chief corner stone

capstone <> cornerstone

NIV jumps back and forth, KJB is consistent

Jesus is the cornerstone which is part of the foundation, the first stone laid, not the capstone which is the top, the last stone laid.

Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

So, still think your corrupt version gives the correct comprehension??

GT, I am discussing only this particular topic here. If you want to discuss the broader question, we can do it through email. I won't discuss the KJB itself, or compare versions with you on this forum. It is not conducive to civility.

"Head" does not refer to location (that is, the top or highest stone), but to importance (the rest of the foundation and building are aligned to it). "Head" is used in the same sense that "chief" is.

That's the terminology used by medieval stonemasons for the first founding cornerstone.
