Comments for And God Said: How Translations Conceal the Bible's Original Meaning http://blog.andgodsaid.com Sun, 11 Jul 2010 19:13:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Read the June Press Release by SAMMY FINKELMAN http://blog.andgodsaid.com/2010/06/17/read-the-june-press-release/#comment-87 SAMMY FINKELMAN Sun, 11 Jul 2010 19:13:32 +0000 http://blog.andgodsaid.com/?p=696#comment-87 Typos corrected: Are you the first person to translate or even attempt to understand the 10th commandment? It's always been understood at covet, want or desire, not actually take in any way. Some weight has to be given to that. I read the argument in your book and there you didn’t come to any conclusion. I don’t know why you are doing that now. I think what it means is to want in such a way so that you actually begin making plans to get it. A practical sort of wanting. Not necessarily by stealing – this could also be putting pressure on someone. And it does not mean wanting something *like* what your neighbor has, but the very same thing. The very same house. The very same wife. The very same ox. The way somebody who owns something wants that and not a replacement. Typos corrected:

It is wise to consider what motivates us, yes?! Secondly, I have a strong sense of the "tip of the iceberg" that your interview represented... the general population has little to no idea how flawed their "Bibles" are... But, I must say that I enjoyed your ideas, and felt that your interviewer was appropriately naive about the issues, rather than bringing a political agenda to the talk...

It is free from the stench of politics, and never fails to illuminate. If I win this book, I vow to kill the first person that walks through my door, as a sacrifice to God. Just kidding. :) Joel’s writing is a joy to read. It is free from the stench of politics, and never fails to illuminate.
