Pete... You would be suprised how many people DO believe that the Bible was writ in English... And are horribly suprised to find out that Yeshua Ben Yoesef was one of dem dere Jews.
Infact, they get down right upset and start flinging words like "BLASPHEMER!" and such. It is enough to have you physically picked up and thrown out of a church here in some parts of the South, where Jesus is believed to be a blond haired blue eyed white male.
And as a personal aside, the one part of the Bible that always gets to me in English is Yeshua asking Peter three times if he loves him. In English, all you see is the word "love."
The actual verse is so much more beautiful... So much more meaningful.
Peter, are you my friend?
Peter, are you my brother?
Peter, do you love me enough to die for me?
But the translators just translated the words in to words rather than their meanings. Bother.
And with that, I should go back in to my own closet before somebody becomes annoyed with me.
Faith is a broad subject to often trapped in narrow minds.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
