You've heard about the tribulation, millennium, rapture, and antichrist, but you may wonder, what's all the debating about? Do most Christians agree on the big issues? And what about other topics--dispensationalism, interpretive views, timing of events...are they too complex for most folks to understand? Dr. Ron Rhodes will identify eight of the most important end-times discussions. He will highlight the most important biblical passages, summarizes a few of the most popular interpretations, and provides succinct conclusions.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ron Rhodes has written an excellent book that lays out essential information for people to use when interacting with a Jehovah's Witness. Chapter 4 explains why Jesus is actually God, not a created being as taught by the Watchtower Society.
This is part 17 of the Read the Bible For Yourself. After reviewing the resources you can use to learn Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, we delve into the sources that translators use for their work. Next, we'll look at translation philosophies, including formal and dynamic equivalence. Lastly we'll cover the controversial issues of gender accuracy and translation bias. Over all, this episode should give you a nice introduction to a deep answer for what translations you should use and why.

Translators are regularly called upon to make choices regarding meanings, and their choices are going to affect how you”[1] “Every translation is a commentary” -Lee Brice The Bible is in three languages. Hebrew: Old Testament except the Aramaic part Nearly 99% of the OT (22,945 of 23,213 verses) Aramaic: half of Daniel and two passages in Ezra Daniel 2.4b-7.28; Ezra 4.8-6.18; 7.12-26 About 1% of the OT (268 of 23,213 verses) Greek: New Testament (all 7,968 verses) How to begin learning Hebrew or Greek Immersion program in Israel or Greece Whole Word Institute offers a 9-month program.

Resources to see decisions about alternative readings NET Bible (accessible here) New Testament Text and Commentary by Philip Comfort A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament by Bruce Metzger Formal equivalence translation philosophy Fee & Strauss: “If the Greek or Hebrew text uses an infinitive, the English translation will use an infinitive. When the Greek or Hebrew has a prepositional phrase, so will the English…The goal of this translational theory is formal correspondence as much as possible.”[2] Ron Rhodes: “Formal equivalence translations can also be trusted not to mix too much commentary in with the text derived from the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. To clarify, while all translation entails some interpretation, formal equivalence translations keep to a minimum in intermingling interpretive additives into the text. As one scholar put it, ‘An essentially literal translation operates on the premise that a translator is a steward of what someone else has written, not an editor and exegete who needs to explain or correct what someone else has written.'”[3] Dynamic equivalence translation philosophy Ron Rhodes: “Dynamic equivalence translations generally use shorter words, shorter sentences, and shorter paragraphs. They use easy vocabulary and use simple substitutes for theological and cultural terminology. They often convert culturally dependent figures of speech into easy, direct statements. They seek to avoid ambiguity as well as biblical jargon in favor of a natural English style. Translators concentrate on transferring meaning rather than mere words from one language to another.”[4] Formal vs. dynamic comparison Formal Equivalence Dynamic Equivalence Formal Correspondence Functional Equivalence Word for Word Thought for Thought Literal Readable Transparent to Originals Replicates Experience Transfer Interpretation Interpretation Built In Accurate Easy to Understand Formal equivalence Bibles ESV: English Standard Version NASB: New American Standard Bible LSB: Legacy Standard Bible NRSV: New Revised Standard Version HCSB: Holman Christian Standard Bible Gender Accuracy[5] “Man” used to mean “men and women” “Men” used to mean “men and women” “he” used to mean “he or she” Translations are changing with the changes in the English language so that female readers recognize the relevance of scripture to them See Eph 4:28; Mat 11:15; etc. Combatting bias To combat bias, look at translations from different thought camps.

Translations of the New Testament depend on the Greek critical text known as the Nestle Aland 28th edition (NA28). Translations of the Old Testament depend on the Leningrad Codex, which is printed in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) and the partially complete Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ). In addition, translators of the Old Testament are expected to look through the footnotes and commentary in these resources to judge readings from other sources. Over generations, textual critics have developed strategies and computer tools to more closely approximate the original text. As a result, newer critical texts contain reconstructions of an older stage of the text. Translation is the art of rendering a source text into a receptor language accurately. Formal equivalence translations focus on transparency to the source text and a minimum of added interpretation. Dynamic equivalence translations focus on readability in the receptor language. They seek clarity over ambiguity. Formal equivalence translations are safer, because they leave it up to the reader to figure out what a text means. However, they can contain awkward English and be difficult to read. Gender accuracy refers to the translation practice of including the feminine when a hypothetical singular masculine pronoun can refer to either sex or when masculine plurals include both genders. Bias is intrinsic to translation, especially with reference to doctrines that are widely held by committee members. The best way to expose and combat bias is to check translations from different thought camps. Although evangelical translations are better known, checking Jewish, mainline, Catholic, and unitarian translations provides a helpful corrective. [1] Gordon D.

Ron Rhodes does an excellent job in this book. I am looking today at his intro and first chapter, which covers Mormonism today and where it came from.

Many Christian conferences, including end-time Bible prophecy conferences, cost upwards of $50.00 to $100.00. This is profiteering in Jesus's name! Some end-time prophecy teachers use the genre for greedy gain, selfish ambition, and ego. How should Christians respond?

If you could sum up the book of Revelation's teaching in just one word, what word would you choose? Judgment…violence…finale? What about the word, blessing? That's the thought that captures Ron Rhodes. Coming this week to The Land and the Book, it's a look at 40 Days Through Revelation. Plus, we'll unpack all the news stories from the Middle East—and answer your Bible questions. Join us for The Land and the Book, from Moody Radio. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ron Rhodes, researcher, author, and teacher, has written a book that provides a great resource for Christians. I discuss chapter 5, which looks at three major movements in the mind sciences religious concept--Christian Science, the United Church of Religious Science, and the Unity School of Christianity. I focus especially on Christian Science since it's the best known of the three.
We live in a world where many people are claiming to have their own truth. As believers in Christ, we've been given the unshakable truth that comes from God alone. However, simply knowing this truth is not enough. We must be able to communicate it and when necessary, to defend it. The task of apologetics is for all believers to be able to give a defense for anyone who asks for the reason for the hope that is in us and then do that with meekness and fear. --How do we do this and where do we begin-- To answer that question, Crosstalk welcomed back Dr. Ron Rhodes. Ron is president of Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries. They are a teaching and resource ministry that specializes in defending Christianity against atheists, agnostics, skeptics, the cults, and world religions. Ron is a researcher, author and apologist, having written over 60 books. He joined Jim to discuss his recently released book, A Popular Survey of Apologetics for Today- Fast Facts Every Christian Should Know.--The word -apologetics- in the Greek means -defend.- Ron believes defending the faith is necessary because we're living in confusing times where there are many different religions and belief systems that are vying for supremacy. While that's going on, all of those individuals who believe in those false views are defending them. So what happens if those people defend their views but Christians remain silent-- They win---What's needed are Christians that are involved in the process of apologetics. It doesn't mean you have to go out and obtain a seminary degree or that you have to learn Greek or Hebrew. It means that you're led by the Lord to share the truth from Scripture with others.
