Jehovah our God is One
No offense, but i've heard that your Bible is different from the other Bibles. By christians themselves.
Like I said, i saw different translations (french, english and spanish) and there is not the sentence you have
Im sure you have heard such things about our bible. But our bible properly translates the context of what is going on.
David gets incited by some 'one' to number the people. God is angry at him.
Another bible writer adds the detail that the some 'one' who incited David was Satan the devil and that is why God was angry at David.
interpreting is as much about 'context' as it is about words....and when you put the two different writers together to compare, you get the picture of who the 'one' is that incited David. Any translators who put that God incited David have translated it incorrectly because the context shows that it was Satan.
No, sometimes it's completely different :
Here one exemple :
26:47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
(Matthew)
18:3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
(John)
matthew is writing from the perspective of what Judas had done while John (who would have been standing at Jesus side) was writing from the perspective of what Jesus said and did. Just because John doesnt mention the kiss does not mean he has the story wrong.
Are you ok that for the same scene it's happen differently ?
One say Judas kissed Jesus as a sign for the soldiers
One said Jesus went forth and asked them what they want
Im perfectly ok with it. Its simply a matter of perspectives. John was adding details as he saw them or he may simply have deliberately left it out because he was highlight Jesus actions on that night, not Judas's actions.
An other one about Jesus on the cross :
15:39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
(Mark)
23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
(Luke)
In one version he said he is a man in an other one he said he is the Son of God
the likelihood is that the man said both. He began to praise God so he was obviously moved by what had taken place. The darkness over the sky had caused him to believe that Jesus was both righteous and the son of God.
I dont see a contradiction here. Both writers are adding the details that the other did not add and in this way we get a fuller picture of what had taken place.
Sometimes the scene is different, sometimes the sentences are different, sometimes both
How can we be sure that Jesus did this or said that ? Some disciples weren't even there when he was on the cross
of course because each writer writes from a different perspective and had gathered information from different witnesses.
how many different accounts of 9/11 are there??? Plenty. Why? because not everyone stood in exactly the same position and saw things from exactly the same set of eyes.
