What would he say?The "Heavenly Inspired" translation of the first verse of the Torah was mistranslated.Uh...no.If you don't read the Torah in Hebrew for a few years and read TNT you'll have no idea what you're reading.Scripture is about one thing or another, even if figurative language is used.
If hashev is what he claims to be he would have seen this same thing....
Even if he didn't and is a liar his odds of being right are fifty fifty.
I was just wondering if Hashev is brazen enough to gamble in the name of the Lord.
Hebrew doesn't have any exclusive right to figurative language. In fact people of every language and culture have been using figurative speech ever since people could talk.
Anyone who understands basic literary techniques, metaphors, analogies, homonyms, hyperbole, etc., has enough of an education to find the hidden teachings in both the Torah and the Gospels even if they only know English.
Thats just about everyone who made it past the second grade...
The implications of a talking serpent translates perfectly into the exact same thing in every language. Comparing people to animals to praise or insult is universal vernacular that all people know before they ever go to school or learn how to read..
A person will either apply their mind to understand by thinking deeply or they won't.
Its a matter of will, not intelligence.
Oh really? your ancestors didn't covertly codify separation from irrational people by concealing the subjects of refrain in a menu?
You really believe that a person can become holy or defiled by eating or refraining from certain foods?
A talking serpent in genesis is some mystical mystery that only a very few select people can comprehend and has nothing whatever to do with the command in kosher law to refrain from the flesh of anything that crawls on its belly?
Comparing other people to animals according to their defining attributes to either praise or insult is not universal vernacular shared by people of every language ever since people could talk?
Sorry, I must have mistaken you for a rational person....
So much for TNT which freely mistranslates Torah and Prophets incorrectly like flinging mud at a wall.
Go to a Hebrew speaking priest and without mentioning the context of our conversation and ask him to translate the first verse and get back to me.
