| I Peter 3:15 says, in the King James version of the Bible, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.”

| In Galatians, Chapter 2, Verse 16, there is a passage in scripture that is of the utmost importance theologically that is mistranslated in most of the recent translations of the New Testament. Interestingly, the old King James has translated this passage correctly, although it is mistranslated in the New King James II. The importance of translating this passage correctly cannot be over-emphasized.

| In II Corinthians 4:3-4, there is a passage that is not only usually mistranslated but also misunderstood. In the English translation, it mentions “the God of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe.” From that passage, many have erroneously believed that the “God of this world” refers to the devil, which would imply a dualism similar in many ways to the dualism of Zoroastrianism, and completely contrary to the monotheism of biblical faith. The foundation upon which biblical faith is built is monotheism, the idea of one god. However, this one god is known in the biblical text by many different names (see my article here on the Names of God). One of the names for God used in Genesis 21:22 is ‘El Olam’.

| In Mathew, Chapter 24:28 there is an interesting passage that has a parallel in Luke 17:37. In both instances the passage is a response relative to the question of the coming of the Son of Man in his glory. In the King James Version the passage in Mathew is translated “for wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.” In Luke the King James has “…And he said unto them, wheresoever the body is thither will the eagles be gathered together.”

| In Chapter 15, verse 34, Mark, in his gospel, records Jesus’ final words from the cross as ‘Eloi, Eloi lama shavaktani?’, which is being interpreted, “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Mark further records in verse 35, “And some of them that stood by when they heard it said, ‘Behold, he called on Elijah’.”
