Re: Putting To Test The RCV
Quote: 'But before considering this question, there is another one. Were the magi "misled by their human concept" (footnote 2.2) to go to Jerusalem?
In the same note it is stated that, "The Jews had a mental knowledge in dead letters concerning Christ, whereas the magi received a living vision concerning Him." But after that they were mislead. It is really so?' :End

No mention of anything to do with whatsoever or which soever ‘human concept’.
(2). Matthew did not say that 'the Jews had a mental knowledge in dead letters concerning Christ', and did not say that 'the magi received a living vision concerning Him'. Whoever said that, the Recovery version compilers should know that it is not the exact God's word. And btw, The Lord God had inspired men to write His word and had not commissioned anyone to footnote after Him.
(3). But after that they were mislead. It is really so? - how dare you question the footnote. In your strong voice repeat the footnote, shake a fist and lift yourself up in a small jump. hooray! you've made yourself a goood material. What?! you are thinking over it and aaaskingg what? let the blending forces propel this one OUT ...
Matthew 1:1-2 (Recovery version) :
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star at its rising and have come to worship Him.
People who love ‘this translation’ to be the best translation are not taking it as it is? They value the footnote more? The footnote has subtracted from the actual bible verses and has added ... (read it for yourself).
