Bubba, it's amazing how many experts in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic one finds on discussion boards. I can quote in Hebrew - it's easy to do a cut & paste - but that doesn't make me an expert in old testament Hebrew.

I know several Greek Scholars who will admit that they don't hold a candle to a translator. There was a time when I dreamed of being a translator and after all these years I realize that I will never qualify. I find it quite bothersome when some randomly cut and paste something that they cannot read and beyond that they cannot explain. If I can't read it, I can't explain it, but I am then limited to another persons opinion. I recognize that as not being a bad thing but how does one quote another with out first knowing the knowledge and integrity of that person?Bubba, it's amazing how many experts in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic one finds on discussion boards.

Those who post what they cannot read really aren't fooling anyone.

This is one reason I like the NET Bible notes. There are several translators and we can read their bios and other work.If I can't read it, I can't explain it, but I am then limited to another persons opinion. I recognize that as not being a bad thing but how does one quote another with out first knowing the knowledge and integrity of that person?

I do that with variant manuscripts. Diferent tanslators have different approachs to translation. I enjoy studying the differences.

Amen!Transliteration isn't rocket science.
That would be another thread,Why didn't you comment on the exactness of the Psalm quote in Matthew? What do your translations say? Lord? Is that very accurate?
