Per Fidem Intrepidus means "Fearless Through Faith". My courage isn't my own, it comes from the Holy Spirit, it's my faith in God and my personal savior Christ Jesus that calms my fears and allows me to move forward in this fallen world. Personally I'm afraid of a lot of stuff, but having the faith that Jesus adopted me as his little, sin filled, brother keeps me going.
Yeah, I think that the vast majority of these so-called Bible translations are useless. Many have textual corruptions. The fact of the matter is that we need no more than ten different translations for the English language at most. It is all about the money, unfortunately.
Doug EvansJune 24, 2018 at 1:40 PM I agree that we do not need many of the translations out there, but the problem is that languages are fluid. Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic words have multiple meanings and uses. English is like that too, go to dictionary.com and look up the word set. Because of the fluidity of languages and the different levels at which people read there needs to be different translations to reach the readers. Before the reformation there was only one bible needed because the average Joe like you or me was not allowed to read the bible, and if we got one we couldn't read it anyhow because they were all written in a dead language that only Roman catholic priests could read - Latin.
I disagree that money is the motivator and argue that ideology and theology are the motivations behind many of these bibles. The Roman church includes the apocrypha to justify their theology of praying to dead people, an act we would call necromancy. The Message perVersion of the bible forwards a politically liberal agenda and even includes ecological paganism. The Passion version is a version being created by the New Apostolic Reformation and it forwards their false theologies in an attempt to shore up their false claims of prophetic infallibility. (Seriously! Rick Joyner actually "prophesied" that the Charlotte Panthers were going to win Superbowl 50 and has yet to apologize for his blasphemous utterance. The Mormons have their own version, the Jehovahs Witnesses have their own version, and all of these I've mentioned are not translations, they're versions, an English bible that has been re-edited to suit their cult's needs.
