From "Young's Literal Translation"

Quote:

Gen2:18And Jehovah God saith, `Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper -- as his counterpart.' 19And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field... and to man hath not been found an helper -- as his counterpart. 21And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.

I'm not sayin nothin as it only gets me in trouble ...

John 13 (Young's Literal Translation)

Quote:

21These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;' 22the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.
23And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
24Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,
25and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?'
26Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
27And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost -- do quickly;'
28and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him

this literal translation raises a lot of questioins.

Earl,

Do you think this is a better translation than the Hamsa Bible?

Now how the heck we supposed to know, until we've read it?

A thousand plus pages takes a bit of time (even for speed readers).

I don't know the Hamsa...but I like the Lamsa.

I suppose someone could, or someone could question the gender of that disciple, or how it indicates that Jesus gave him the bread...Satan entered...therefor Jesus said...its just interesting his choice of words...translations are all tough.

Now what exactly 'loving' meant in Young's time and why he used it like that is again hard to tell. In the 30's 'making love' meant kissing, a lot different than what it meant in the 60's...the further a translation is away from the current time, the harder it is to determine the meaning of the words.

Exactly. And even in the Middle east today, loving means something totally different than what the west thinks.

Maybe that is why Christianity is such a volatile faith. We perceive things differently than our eastern counterparts...

...which leads me to a question. What was the culture of the day, in Jesus' time? And how is it different from the west? (ok two questions).

I doubt it. See if the Bible is anything it gives us instructions. There was a time when God whittled down an army to what, 300?, against 30,000? (I may be off).

Christ would never be hung again. He just couldn't be. Never again.

This question may be way off base.

Do you think this had anything to do with Abraham and Lot? When Abraham gave him his choice, Lot went east.(towards Sodom)

(speaking of literal.)
