Lost in Translation

Filed under: Business as Usual — Eric The Tired @ 11:13 am

Hey Gang,

Last night during our bible study we got into a discussion about Jesus descending into the realm of the dead after his crucifixion. Part of that included the topic of how it was described in the bible, in particular there were verses from Peter 1 & 2 that describe that event. Now my favorite resource for biblical reference blueletterbible.org, has a feature that allows you to see a thorough list of the various versions of a particular verse side by side.

So without further delay here’s both of those:

First we look at 1 Peter 3:19, now in this verse all of the available translations use the word “prison” except of course for the Latin version.

When we look at 2 Peter 2:4, we see a few variations in the name used for the place where these fallen angels are sent, switching between Hell and Tartarus. In their confinement different descriptions are used, such as “pits of gloom” and “chains of darkness,” none of it sounds very pleasant.

Just for the Hell of it here’s a Catholic Encyclopedia article on Hell.


A chance to “Save Babies!” and an upcoming Adoration event April 11, 2007

Filed under: Business as Usual — Eric The Tired @ 7:09 pm

Hey Gang,

Two things quick things:

I just wanted to let you guys know about a charity event that one of our members is taking part in at the end of the month. It’s from the March of Dimes, called Walk America.
Here’s a little about the cause taken from their website:

Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies’ lives.

Our mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

So now’s your chance to as she puts it “Save Babies!, Save Babies!” She’ll be walking for the event so stop on by her sponsor page and give a little love:

Now I did say two things at the top so…
This is a reminder for the Spirit and Truth event down at USF on Thursday the 12th. It starts at 7pm, check out the last post on it for more details.

Today we mark Jesus’ triumph over evil. Alleluia Alleluia He is Risen!! Let’s all celebrate this fact with the people around us.
