Ärende: The Evil That Men Do
============================
Hello Roy,

>RW>'An eye for an eye' refers to a situation in which a person who has
>RW>injured the eye of another is instructed, in at least three places
>RW>in the Jewish Tora and Xtian bible, to give his or her own eye in
>RW>compensation.

>WD>Which version of the bible? I found at least these:

RW>Here's a list of books to look in: Leviticus 24:19-21, Exodus 21:22-25,
RW>and Deuteronomy 19:21...you do the work.

You left out several versions, including George Lamsa's Aramaic version
of the bible.

>WD>* New International Version (+1984)
>WD>* New American Standard Bible (+1995)
>WD>* International Standard Version (+2008)
>WD>* GOD'S WORD< Translation (+1995)
>WD>* King James Bible
>WD>* American King James Version
>WD>* American Standard Version
>WD>* Bible in Basic English
>WD>* Douay-Rheims Bible
>WD>* Darby Bible Translation
>WD>* English Revised Version
>WD>* Webster's Bible Translation
>WD>* Weymouth New Testament
>WD>* World English Bible
>WD>* Young's Literal Translation
>WD>* Geneva Study Bible

>WD>There are thousands of versions, explanations, interpretations.
>WD>That's what you have with the bible-stompers.

RW>You don't have to interpret anything, just read the text from all 3 of
RW>the books I listed from any of your list of Bibles and post it back here.
RW>(with an English translation if you choose to use one of those written in
RW>any other language)

Translations of the bible are actually transliterations.  I doubt
anybody in this forum reads ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or other
languages used in those ancient times.  The versions themselves are
interpretations made by various scholars and linguistic experts.

>WD>You have to give credit to the Muslims ... they recognise only 1
>WD>version of the Kuran. The unabridged unaltered Arabic one.

RW>Unless they have a revised version in their own division of the religion.

There is no revised version, as that would be considered blasphemy.

RW>There are more than one sect of Muslim religions.

And all use the same Qu'ran.

RW>Not all Kurans are made equal.

The are live Muslims and dead Muslims.  And nothing in between.
The Qu'ran is for living Muslims.  Paradise and 72 virgins are for
dead Muslims.  Except for women Muslims, who get nothing but dirt.
