Guest c0ntrite Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 TheMessenger would like to provide this service to everyone who is interested with the Word of God. Everyday TheMessenger will be sending Scriptures through email. The version of the Bible that TheMessenger will be using is the New International Version (NIV) which is a "balance between word-for-word and thought-for-thought" translation of the Bible. The Scriptures that will be sent is an EXACT copy from the Bible which means it's NOT edited in any way. You will NOT be receiving opinions from anyone in this group. Join this Yahoo!

Guest dinoalbert Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 maki-OT na rin sorry mga mods... how can NIV (although its a good Bible translation) be unedited when in fact kulang na rin sya ng 7 DEUTEROCANONICALS books ((Baruch, Sirach, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, and the Wisdom of Solomon, plus portions of Esther and Daniel) ? IMO, if we want an EXACT copy from the Bible which means it's NOT edited in any way...get the ORIGINAL Bible which is in Greek/Aramaic :) Anyway thanks for the info! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c0ntrite Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 hehehehe... what I meant about the EXACT copy is the EXACT copy of the NIV translation... :) not the ORIGINAL BOOKS... :lol: besides how can you say its complete if it lacks a book? who decides which books should be in or out of the Bible? I can make my own book and say to the people that they lack my book... right? :lol: anyway incomplete is not the right word just because they didnt add those books that you mentioned. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im afraid maging off topic na nga tayo....I like to debate about religion :D so I would suggest that lets discuss about this through personal emails....if you can PM me your email add we could continue discussing this I can tell you who decides which books should be included in the compilation...of course its the people who FIRST compiled the NT and OT altogether to become a single book which is the Bible. Who are they? Its in History. I can tell you who, when where how. We could discuss that. Add those books? No sir, they "removed" it. Its in the history...I can tell you facts..when, how, where. We can discuss religion and history here :D Pero hwag dito...OT na sigurado :lol: cheers! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
