Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
Neto, your experience of being labeled a legalist by WBT reminds me of my great grandmother and her discomfort with modern ideas like "assurance of salvation" which sounded too prideful and to full of modern self determination to be Christ like. She was wise, well read, knew the Bible for...

Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
I do not know German, either one of the German dialects or languages involved, so I do not have an opinion regarding the meaning of the words concerned. But I do know Hank, and he is not only a native speaker of PA German, but is also a trained linguist. He & his wife Ruth did a translation for...

Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
Re: The "Pennsylvania Dutch" Bible: I have known Hank Hershberger for many years. He would not change the meaning of any Scripture, regardless of the fact that he grew up Amish. The men who worked on this translation with him were all Amish. Can you explain this quote, then? Misunderstand...

Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
Do we have people here who are good at Pennsylvania Dutch? Does Selig mean "saved" in modern Pennsylvania German? Here is Matthew 5 in the Luther and Pennsylvania Dutch Bible: https://www.bible.com/bible/1455/MAT.5.PDCB?parallel=51 Luther: Selig sind, die da geistlich arm sind; denn das H...

Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
FWIW, Pennsylvania Dutch is also different from Dutch. Yes. "Dutch" in reference to PA German is simply a bad translation. It is based on a misunderstanding of German itself, thinking that Deutsch = Dutch. It doesn't. Deutsch means German, plain & simple. It's actually pretty funny, b...

Re: Cooperative Missions Run by Different Denominations
Amongst other claims. They claim the Beautitudes in Luther’s translation is mistranslated and supports salvation thru works. Elsewhere I saw a claim against Luther’s translation in Romans but I cannot find that source right now. They seem to be claiming something different - that the meaning is dif...

Re: Poll: Modes of Baptism
I would follow Jesus on this. He said to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. Jesus is infallible. I met a Ineness Pentecostal pastor in Holmes County. I do not agree with their interpretations and believe they are in error in their teachings about what we discussed. He wasn’t...
