THE ETERNAL PURPOSE / PART 8

A PROPER TRANSLATION OF OLAM, AION, AND AIONIOS …

FINDING A GOOD BIBLE TRANSLATION

( L. Ray Smith )

-"The first page of my Oxford University Press edition of the King James Bible says this:

Notice that it "contains" the Old and New Testaments from the original tongues, but IT was not translated FROM the original tongues, but is rather, a revision of "former Translations!" Sadly to say, although we owe MUCH to the King James or Authorized Version of the scriptures, it is NOT a translation of the original Hebrew and Greek languages of the scriptures. To its credit, many (thousands) of inconsistencies have been corrected over the years. However, NOT ALL. There still remains some colossal errors that translators and scholars either are overlooking or are purposefully ignoring. The following Bible Translations are helpful in seeing the honest rendering of such King James words as, “everlasting”, “evermore”, “forever and ever”, “eternal”, “hell”, etc. They either render these words properly or show in the margins what the literal Hebrew or Greek is, rather than attempting to prop up the fancied pagan doctrine of eternal torment in an ever-burning hell of literal fire. I am not recommending that you buy any of these Bible Versions. You can understand the truths of God by merely coming to understand the proper translation of two or three words in your King James Bibles. But, if you decide to actually buy one of these Versions, I would suggest Rotherham's over the others. Besides it may be the only one that you can find in a book store."

Rotherham's Emphasized Bible, 1959

-After a careful study of “olam”, “aion”, and “aionios” from the original Hebrew and Greek, along with these more accurate translations, the pagan idea and doctrine of eternal torment will disappear from the pages.
