“THE
GREEK SAYS …”
The
next time you hear a Pastor say “The
Greek says …”, you can be ABSOLUTELY sure this is code language for
“I really haven’t got a clue what the
English says! That’s why I resort to a language I know even less about to
bamboozle you all, so I can justify my salary.”
Fancy
going to a dead language like the Greek to explain what is perfectly obvious in
their first language - English!
Surely
this must be the height of intellectual arrogance or linguistic
buffoonery? What other explanation could
there be? (See “The Greek Game”)
And
what a monumental sleight of the mind, that Satan could get men to depart from their
first language and plunge into the deep, dark and unknown ‘greek’ abyss for
clarity.
Surely
they are living proof of “Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Rom 1:22)
LET US QUOTE THREE STATEMENTS FROM THE KING JAMES TRANSLATORS:
1. “… out of many good ones, one principal
good one (The King James Bible), not justly to be excepted against.” (The
Translators to the Reader a.k.a The Dedicatory)
That is, no critic will have any
argument over what we have produced.
2. “The
same will shine as gold more brightly being rubbed and polished.” (The Translators to the Reader a.k.a
The Dedicatory)
They had complete English Bibles for 230
years prior to 1611.
3. They came to the work “… LEARNED, NOT TO LEARN:” (The Translators to the Reader a.k.a
The Dedicatory)
This was not arrogance on their part!
They were just humbly stating the
obvious … THEY KNEW IT ALL!
The Translators corrected “the TR Greek”
in a thousand places to produce the infallible, inerrant, inspired and perfect English
King James Bible.
There are over 35 Greek TR’s and they
all disagree with each other.
What should you do?
Those
who say “The Greek says …” may just be innocently ignorant, but with the other
Ethiopian Leopards (look it up), simply pat them on the head, treat them as
having lesser faith, walk away and pray, that God will open their eyes!
