>he doesnt believe in magic
>he doesnt confess the bible or jungian psychology
>he doesnt know psychic truths are just as valid as physic ones
>he doesnt know that early humans projected much more powerfully than us; that, due to our awareness of the unconscious, now the unconscious has gone covert, and is less likely to project something as magnificient as a dragon or unicorn, and that those levels of intense imagery are relegated tot he dream world where we must flee to make sense of this foreign concrete jungle our ancestors would have had heart attacks in just looking at the depressing skyscraping buildingblocks
sorry kid your not ready for the tough life

the only problem with evil is injustice, no one cares if an evildoer receives evil, because this is just
God is not unjust, by definition of course, but it can be further proved by thus
>good men cannot be hurt by bad men
>good men beget good, bad beget bad
>no man is good, all men fail in the sight of the Lord (only cringe subjective moralists like nietzsch and pagans/hedons like sade will disagree here)
>therefore all men deserve eternal hellfire and damnation (or whatever punishment is apt to your particular sin, we can infer that hell has degrees, along with dante, because paul tells us that each will recieve in proportion to what good he does on the earth in heaven [heavily paraphrased])
>since God does not give everyone hellfire (we know thie because He told us [God is not a man that he should lie]) he is not only just, but overjust, because he has zero obligation to do so, yet he does anyway. He is righteous and gracious.

>puncuation and capitalization
4chan not worth
>dont have the education or connections
im 18 (dont ban me) but not yet into college, tho i am in college through my countrys 'early start' type program
i am currently making connections, talking to hebrew and greek profs and such, i havent revealed the translated but i truly am working to acquire the education, and with that come connections
also there is no connections that would touch the work itself
i am of the opinion that if the work is to be coherent it must be that of a single man (ie luthers translation) so i wouldnt accept any help
i understand that it is a large undertaking but what of it?
am i supposed to be discouraged, or take counsel in my God for strength?
if God is for me, who shall be against me
i do not think it is impossible
you do, which is why youre not attempting it

i understand that my writing was pretty incoherent but i didnt really try and make it a 5000 word proofread essay, so thats my bad
im saying that the best translations are written in archaic langauge, which the average person cant read or benefit from
and that the necessary solution is a new translation, and took for tacit that al modern translations are shit
as well i simply stated that the greek words ought to be replaced due to the fact that, in the wake of the churches influence waning, which is doing so due to many different reasons which we cannt get into here for brevitys sake, that the words will become even more inaccessible
the clergy will always understand it because they learn the languages, but a translation should be for a complete novice
and yeah im not expecting any real support from anyone, even those profs that im close to, or even those that symphathize with the need of a new translation, because there is a plethora of them
i think mine will be set apart because i set out to do it entirely by myself
as well i am planning on adding to the canon, esp the apocrypha
but even still, i fully expect to be unregarded in several generations
but if even a single manuscript exists, it can be of influence
marcus aurelius mediations survived as such, through one or a few manuscripts in dusty monasteries, un read for generations
but now it even, i believe i can confidently say, widely read
ah but this is increasingly more schizo
shit im outta lithium

will a classical greek dictionary work for koine? most koine shit is for the new testament, which is fine, but if you also want to read the septuagint then there are some words that arent there.
I know as dialects they come in sequence, but how similar are they?

wasnt me but you can leave the thread, if your going to talk about 'evidence' and 'science,' although extremely onions, ill permit it, so long at you can cite your fucking sources retard. this whole thread is talking about religious and philosophical arguments and you sitting in the fucking corner drinking glue like an utter retard spouting off about some vague, ambiguous and unpresent 'science' ex machina that can just wipe away everything thats not 'modern' and 'coolerino'
