Looked up how the NIV translates 'Son of Man' - and wow talk about deliberate denial of the truth of scripture.
I did not know that the NIV was so untrustworthy.
Found this when searching about the NIV and 'Son of Man'
The NIV - Simply a Bad Translation by Pastor Richard Bacon
First Presbyterian Church of Rowlett
NIV - simply a bad translation
“Son of Man” or “Human Beings” in the NIV 2011: What Difference Does It Make?
Here is Psalm 8:4 in the NIV 2011:
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
Son of Man now becomes human beings
And take notice, Sproul was addressing in this context; The “TNIV” and not at that time the “NIV”.
I took a class at a Reformed College in the late 1970s entitle, “So or Why So many Versions”, relating to The “KJV” the Cambridge and The Oxford Editons , The American Standard Version, The Harper Study “RSV”, The NIV. And we had to take them apart, and The “Living Paraphrase bible. And learn the reasons why new bible translations will come in great floods.
And if you have notice when I quote the Bible, Most of The time I give version and copyrighted date. I do not choose a version to convey my thought that is more Suitable, to what I believe or speaking about, I choose a version that is more in favour to The Original Copied Manuscript. Nor That which is in favour of That Translative “ Committee“, who’s goal is to satisfy, the demands and wishes and the desires of The readers [the people] who are the buyers, and Those who donate for such causes, [for what cause they are trying to please], The target Audience, and the Projectory of the returns.
“The Burger King Slogan”. That is called “Marketing”.
And welcome to The 21st. Century.
“Supply of demand”.
So in essence, “Where sin abound grace will about that much more”
And I will not open that can of worms. Because we can not win, But The Word of God will remain for ever.
For The LORD is “Sovereign” and The Preeminence of “The Christ” of GOD remains The same, no matter what many will proclaim.
You it seems to me, you have done well, just stay The Course, for The Winds are Blowing, and The Tides are High, But Like The Apostle said, Stay in The Ship.
PS. And when the ship sink, for those who cannot swim, grab a hold to something that floats
For All those lives, on that ship, will be saved, not one life, will be lost on That Ship!
If you can’t swim, grab a hold of Something that floats and hold on tight!
Dr. Luke, said; “There arose a “Tempestous” wind called “Euroclydon”.
The old negro spiritual calls it in a song; “When The Storms of LIFE are Raging, Lord “Stand By Me”
Then another song come to my mind, “Tis Thee Old Ship Of Zion” Get on Board for There is No Danger in “GOD’s”. Water!
I like to atlive and sing it in the Old Spiritual Negro way, they way my mother song it, the same way her mother taught her to sing it, who could not read or write, but knew how to pray and sing, not to a audience but knew how to sing to The “GOD ALMIGHTY”! By candlelight and The sound of rain drops on a tin roof, while rain drips from that roof is falling on her children.
Do any remember when people set down, they had no TV, no Radio, neither could afford a news paper or Electric lights or running water in the house, I do, every summer, when we went to our 40 Acres in “Mississippi” among The “Water Moccasins”, The Big ticks, The Hogs, The Big Buzzards circling in the sky. So dark at night, you clearly could see, it seems like Million Stars in The Night! And when it Rain, and Thundered and The “Willow Trees” start singing and swaying, Those old woman will make you sit down and be quiet, and tell you to be quiet and “Let GOD Talk”!
Do anyone remember those days? When neighbors was a 1/2 mile to a mile apart. No phone, no internet. No news paper. And when it rain, it rained and the “Willow Trees” sang Their song.
