How do you know he didn’t add it more times? I’m asking for evidence, not speculation. If there are specific places “only” should have been added by ML’s reasoning, and he didn’t add it, show me.
Well, ok. I was just blown away with the baseless and silly assertions. Then blaming it on Catholics!
I hope this is true, Ginger2. It sure doesn’t seem like you put much value on truth, posting such ridiculous and misleading assertions.
So by this statement you would be willing to close your Bible and rely entirely upon Christ to perfect you.
That is the whole problem…if 2 things contradict each other in any manner, then one is superior to the other, or neither of them are. If 2 things are equal in authority, then they must be from the same source…cannot be from same source…too many contradictions. Sola Scriptura…try saying that 5 times fast
I don’t know where you got this quote, but I don’t think it is mine. I would say that Sacred Tradition and Sacred Tradition never contradict one another, because they are from the same Source. They are two strands of One Divine Deposit of Faith.That is the whole problem…if 2 things contradict each other in any manner, then one is superior to the other, or neither of them are.

No, NC, the foundation of my faith is not found in the opinions of debaters on an internet forum, talented and educated as many of them are. The Church teaches that Scripture and Sacred Tradition are equal, and that is what I believe.
Well, we see it differently.
For us, there is no “addition”. The SAcred Traditions existed prior to the Word being written. They did not "vanish " after enscripturation.
Amen! There were German language bibles long before Luther, so one should wonder why he suddenly felt the need to insert a word into scripture. He wrote only his translation, which bears his name, just as his church bears his name.
Bad comparison. Luther would have spoken High German as an educated man. High German has probably not changed much. I also speak German, and frankly my dialect is Bayerische, and I can read very old documents that were written in that dialect.
And praytell what is the difference…semantically?
He was not misrepresenting the German language…it was his mother tongue and he spoke it fluently. It is you who does not understand the various forms of the word “alone”. “Allein” is but one form of the word alone. Einziger, nur, einzig, eigenen, and ohne are also the word “alone” in English. dictionary.reverso.net/english-german/alone/forcedIf he was misrepresenting the language, why didn’t the Catholic church point that out? Instead they refer to his sarcasm in partial quotes that give the appearance of trying to mislead.
While that statement may have some credence, do you have a copy of Luther’s translation of the bible? Do you have it in High German? quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/l/luther/luther-idx?type=DIV2&byte=4456364 That is a scholars freely accessible on-line posting of Luther’s bible in German. In fact, that is a link to “Romans”, and nowhere within is the word “allein” except…Romans 1:32.
Yes, I agree. How God views it, is what will matter at the end.
Yes, and we won’t know for sure until the end. But in the meantime, I’m going to hedge my bets and follow the Church that Christ left us…Yes, I agree. How God views it, is what will matter at the end.
Amen!
I am tired of these unsubstantiated claims…
That must be why Luther explained, “…we must ask the mother in the home, the children on the street, the common person in the market about this. We must be guided by their tongue, the manner of their speech, and do our translating accordingly.”
Thank you.
But I have never claimed to…I am simply stating Luther’s given reason for adding the word “alone”.
That was in Luther’s explanation. He said he painstakingly search for the exact word (not only in Romans, but in the entire translation) that would portray the sentiments of the original author.
Where did po18guy state OLD TESTAMENT Bibles. It seems you’ve added to his words.
How do we know this about the Bible?
Why bet, when you can know for sure? God doesn’t make it a mystery, but the devil wants us to think so.
Johannes von Gutenberg (1398-1468) printed his bible in 1455, according to the date found on the spine of one example. He was German. He did not change or add words.
Saint Paul did not know for sure. How on earth can you?
I need to apologize. I confused this thread with another which is discussing the OT Scriptures. Very sorry for the mix up.
