:::::::This is how language operates. Uneducated people are going to take new information to their own frame of reference. Like [[Karine Jean-Pierre]] calling the [[Nordstream]] pipeline "Nordtroms", like the department store. The English words "trouble" and "guts" (and numerous others) probably didn't exist in the vocabulary prior to hearing these verses of the bible, and their modern meaning is based on the concepts they learned from the bible.

::::::::Yeah, I'm aware of that, and it's why I'm trying to improve the conciseness of the proposed conservative translation. However, I don't think that the debate over the word "tribulation" falls into this category of concern that well, and especially given its important usage highlighted in Revelation, replacing it with the vague word "persecution" is unwise, IMO. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Exodus 23:2)</sup>]]''''' Sunday, 18:36, December 25, 2022 (EST)
