You go to Hell for believing some parts of the Bible are bull****, but not others-

So if "unicorns" are rhinos.....what are the "dragons" (Psalm 91:13)? Crocodiles???

 

Oh honestly, dont you know anything? Those aaaaare..... dinosaurs!

I mean, like, totally get with the program.

Dinosaurs, yes. They were created along with people and happily coexisted, T rex chomping carrots and whatnot. Then "Eve" ate the wrong fruit and, the dinosaurs started eating eachother!

It was terrible! But they all died in the flood, and that is why we have no unicorns, uh, make that
dinosaurs, today.

 

They made up a nonsense word? I'm pretty sure the word existed before those translators used it.

The writing of the translators themselves. Why do you refuse to admit that the translators notes are clear?

All I said was that I haven't already addressed other issues because they weren't the thing being discussed. I never drew any lines around any topic. Why do you feel the need to misrepresent my words?

 

Love to see the Bible apologists take a crack at it. If "dragons" were crocs....then I guess the Great Dragon in Revelation is a ten-headed gator??? Whooooo, doggies, I'd love to see me a ten-headed gator.

 

I don't know why they didn't use that word. My guess is that one or more of the words had a different connotation in the 1600s than they do today. Or maybe they just F'd up. But the thing I am trying to say is that this appears to be peculiar to this translation, and the original Hebrew texts use a word which the Jews never took to mean "unicorn". So I say the KJV is a "bad translation" here, because it failed to carry the meaning of the Hebrew word as it was understood by the Jews for thousands of years before that time.

But I am not limiting discussion. We can talk about whatever is relevant to the OP. My statement was not a defense of why I won't discuss something, it was a defense of why I had not already done so.

 

Where are these notes from the original KJV translators?

 

I just pulled them off the same website that freedomseeker (if I remember correctly) posted to show that the word unicorn was in the bible. Turns out if you look a little more carefully, there is some additional explanation there.

None of those are notes by the original translators.

 

What about the part labeled "King James Translators' Notes"? It's about half way down the page.

 

I don't know. It won't send me to any citation of who it refers to.
