[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The short answer to the actual question is yes. There are many mistranslations of the Bible. It was written when a different language and vocabulary was used and had been translated so many times over 100s of years. You can’t pick one sentence or phrase and choose the exact wording that suits your agenda to be ignorant towards other people or to try and make choices for them. [/quote] What was mistranslated?[/quote] Well for starters, when the New Testament was originally written in Greek the word virgin meant unwed young woman. It did not mean a female that hadn’t had sex. So Virgin Mary was in fact an unwed young women. There’s no proof one way or the other whether Joseph and she had had sex or not. We use the word Virgin totally differently in modern times. There are many other examples but this is the first one that comes to mind. [/quote]
