Title: Luke 21:8 NIV contraction Post by: Psalm 51:17 on August 29, 2017, 05:33:48 pm (KJB) Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. (NIV) Luke 21:8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. Saying has a STONGER meaning that Claiming. NIV removes Christ (one of many times it does), and ultimately you have no idea who they are talking about in this verse. AND, going after someone has a STRONGER meaning than merely following someone. The former has an aggressive meaning. |
