A little personal account here, about 35 years ago I wrote a quite detailed religious essay and passed it on to some of my Christian acquaintances, three days latter it came back to me with virtually every name I had written whited out and replaced with popular Greek names. Having experienced that, I can well understand exactly what Paul was up against. And his writings are still up against. Paul was a JEW, of the Nation of Israel, of the Tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews, a Pharisee brought up at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictest manner of The Law of the Fathers. (Acts 21:9, 22:3, 26:5, Rom. 11:1, Phil 3:5) Paul knew, understood, and could speak HEBREW fluently. (Act 21:40, 22:2, 26:14) Paul was a HEBREW and a JEW, or you are calling him a liar. And if Paul was or is a liar, then you cannot say anything at all concerning him that might be trusted as being true. Paul TELLS us over and over what he is. And still people insist on trying to misrepresent Paul the highly educated JEWISH HEBREW as being a stupid, unlearned, and ignorant gentile. |

For a wider and more comprehensive discussion of Gen 15:6
google: "Was Gen 15:6 mistranslated" |

Well, this discussion is showing up on the search engines, so many more will have the opportunity to think about it. Romans 4:3 is on a shakey foundation.

As far as I can tell, your contributions are obtuse at best which makes any kind of rational discussion difficult. But having said that, why interfere with people who are interested in learning. |

How am I interfering with people who are learning? I am simply suggesting that some very pivitol verses may have been mistranslated just as Ramban also asserted.

Onias - I think that comment was directed at sotto voce, not you.
