[GCFL-discuss] Vacation Bible School and your kids

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

This is the one part I hate about English. It's the lack of depth in its
descriptions. There are places in the New Testament where English totally
sucks air to fully communicate what's being said.

For Example: Jesus talking to Peter, "Paul do you Agape me?", "Jesus I know
I felejo you" (Forgive my spellings I haven't seen them in a long while).
These are two VERY different words for love. Agape being pure Godly love.
that only which comes from God. And then Felejo I believe is the puppy dog
love. Which here we clearly see how badly Peter's missing the point! But you
go to the English translations and you got "Paul do you love me?", "Jesus I
know I love you". We have NO CLUE that Peter is on the wrong page. IT drives
me NUTS!!! I love to learn about all the different things the English fails
to cover from the original manuscripts.
God bless,
Lance
