Whammy.
Oh? and what image is God to you? And who are you to chastise me, for speaking the truth?
I swear, people can dish it out, but can't take it themselves...![]()
No translation is needed. Just an open mind and a willing heart to do as God instructs, suggests, or mentions...
That's quite true, especially since it was written pretty close to 164 BC by someone who was offering reassurance to Israel that YHWH would settle the hash of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Abomination Desolation which Antiochus had placed in the Jerusalem Temple.
If mee had read the Daniel annotations in the New Oxford Annotated Bible, mee would know this.
No one asked you to be convinced of anything. Yet you come in trying to convince us? Hmmm...I distrust anyone who tells me that he has the "truth," especially in these days of ideological megalomania.

Which Bible Mee? Yours? I like mine (Latin Vulgate). It's much older than yours...does that mean it is less accurate, or more?...very true and its all in the complete bible . thats where we find out instruction from God.
All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.2 timothy 3;16-17

try the wine...it is a good vintage.I can't recall ... what is it I have been trying to convince you of?
Says you...and your credentials are?Generally the older the text, the more likelihood that it approaches the "original." Which pretty much blows mee's version, especially since the books of the NT were written somewhere between 70 and 120 (or so). But the Vulgate is not all that close to the "original" either. After all, it is in Latin and all the books of the NT were written in Greek. Ummm, what was the date of the Vulgate anyway? If I had to choose a Catholic version, I would choose the New Jerusalem Bible. It benefits from far more advanced scholarship than the Vulgate did. And with the NJB, I'd pair the New Jerome Biblical Commentary. It is very good within the limitations imposed by the "one volume" format.
Says you...and your credentials are?
I see (bows out of the shadow) I'll stick with the likes of Shelley and Joyce...easier for me to digest.The NJB and the New Jerome both have Imprimaturs, if that means anything to you. Both are the result of Pope Pius XII's Divino Afflante Spiritu. Perhaps that — and reading a bit of Raymond E Brown and John J Collins — gives me a head start.

Out of the shadow?
By the way, how do you like my new avatar? It's a photo of a bronze statue of Achilles — taken on the grounds of the Achillion Palace on the Greek island of Corfu last September.
