The previous posts dealing with Truth, errors in Scripture, and God's revealment of truths gradually as you are able to understand them brought up a thought to me.
When we look at the Bible, we are generally reading a translation from the original Greek or Hebrew. As such we miss nuances and hidden meanings that we would otherwise see. Does this mean that someone who reads an english translation, will miss things that can not be found out except in the original version or will God give the same revelation to people who honestly seek and look for it?
I am not really sure what the answer is. I know that God can reveal anything to anyone so a person honestly seeking and delving into the scriptures will see fruit from that pursuit, but I do not think without looking at the original text, a person will come to understand the fullest meaning of the text he is trying to understand.
Thoughts, comments.
