Religion & Spirituality - 15 November 2007

A while back I read of a simple saying in English that was sent for independent translation into Greek and then sent again to another translator to be translated from the Greek back into English, The saying was:
"Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses"
after translation into Greek and once again into English the phrase came out as:
"The men don't make the moves and the ladies who use the crystals"
I think this is a great example of how meaning can be lost and altered when text is translated, and we must remember the Bible has been through so many more layers of translation so the effects will be even greater.

Mommy had psychic powers knowing that letting her daughter out in the night would get her killed by a mad man.

Her daughter was killed by the mad man.

Mommy is evil in this case eventhough she did not kill her daughter but she knew that mad man would and sill let her daughter out.

God had FOREKNOWLEDGE that creating Lucifer would end up in Eve getting decieved and billions of people sent to hell and still created Lucifer.

In the end billions of people rot in hell.

In this case God was evil since He knew that creating Lucifer would end up with this result.

Where is my flaws?

"The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth, is consequently the richest individual of the twentieth century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars." http://www.chick.com/reading/books/153/153_10.asp
