Strong's Lexicon however is alright for a quick look at the root of a word. But no, certainly not good for translating anything. But then, that's why I don't use it when translating :) You make far too many assumptions, jpelham. Don't think of us to be like the moronic Calvinists who plague the church that your wife goes to You read rather hastily Swalchy. My post was not concerned with Strong's concordance or lexicon. That you do not rely on such ostensible 'reference' works was not hidden. It was concerned with the art of translation. The quotation applies to all reference texts used for translation, and I believe I mentioned that this was the point.

And so what if you didn't mention that I was among such persons - no one on here even referred to anything to do with Strong's or any other Lexicon until you decided to post this continued diatribe of purposeless prattle, so why bring it up? Richard is right - why are we wasting our time with you? You haven't said anything worthwhile ever since you started posting in this thread, and haven't answered anything. Instead you just continue to raise absurd and asinine comments. You know what, this thread is no longer to do with what the original post was about. I shall create a new thread that you can have all to yourself, jpelham |
