A: Why does the Bible repeatedly tout that sin begins in the heart — rather than the brain, mind, or other bodily organs? The question is a little unclear to me, but I think it predominantly concerns fixation on sin within the "domain" of the heart rather than the mind as understood within modern Western societies that speak English. It also asks why anatomical members involved directly in sin, such as reproductive orga... (more) |

Absolutely, hence why my conclusion is that this question is subjective. When I first started studying biblical languages, I was a big fan of so-called "literal" (what I now refer to as "wooden" to avoid the myriad of conflicting assumptions behind what is "literal") translations. However, I've found... (more) |

Weird, I am able to access https://www.mardel.com/bibletranslationguide just fine. I also was able to access it via Google Translate as a proxy ( https://www-mardel-com.translate.goog/bibletranslationguide?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp ) so this may be an issue specific to y...

A: Translation of Jude 8 Latin vs. Greek manuscripts The Douay-Rheims (DRB) is a translation of the Latin Vulgate, whereas the KJV (and most modern translations) follow the available Greek New Testament manuscripts. The DRB does not contain this word ("dreamers") because it is not present in the underlying Latin Vulgat... (more) |

| Question | — |
Translation of Jude 8 There are different translations of "dream(ers)" in Jude 8. For example: ESV: >Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. ASV: >Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and s... (more) |

A: What is the most accurate and literal English Bible translation? Accuracy and 'literalness' are only two of several factors in a translation, and I would argue that they are subjective factors at that. I would propose the following criteria for selecting an English Bible translation: - faithfulness to the original languages - translation philosophy (thought-... (more) |

A: Why does Job 39:19 use 'clothed' for 'Have you clothed his neck with thunder'? The "mane" of a horse refers to the hair that grows on the top of its neck. The immediate context of vv. 19–25 is imagery associated with this war horse that fearlessly and eagerly carries its rider into battle. Ultimately God is questioning Job whether he is the one who gives horses their strength a... (more) |

A: What is the Eastern Orthodox position on the Calvinist doctrine of total depravity? This answer summarizes portions of the argument against total depravity presented by Alexander J. Renault in his book entitled "Reconsidering TULIP". Eastern Orthodox Christians agree that sin has weakened human beings so that we are unable to come to God apart from His grace in our lives. But...

A: Does the narrator of Numbers assert that the Anakim come from the Nephilim? This is connected to the wider theme of giants in the Hebrew biblical texts, which comes from an existing precedent in the Ancient Near East (ANE) context.[^1] עֲנָק (anaq) means "long-necked" and may imply "giant."[^5] Anak was the son of Arba, who was the founder of Kiriath-Arba and was conside...

This is interesting, but given the government's stance, it may be difficult to track as I'm aware that numerous Chinese missionaries operate in secrecy (both those ministering _in_ China as well as those coming _from_ China). (more) |
