Changes

: A mere three minutes between commenting and changing is obviously not long enough.  Moreover, your comment does not respond to mine:  the "fishers of ____" is a masculine analogy akin to a football analogy today.  The person must be masculine to fit the metaphor.  Moreover, the Greek word is typically translated as "man" or "men", not as "people".--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:17, 13 November 2009 (EST)

::Andy, you know perfectly well, because you participated in the discussion, that I wrote about the meaning of άνθρωπος on the Conservative Bible Project on Friday, 24 hours before (not 3 minutes after) editing this paper. If you can cite an authoritative dictionary which translates άνθρωπος in New Testament Greek (not modern urban slang) as 'man' in the sense of a masculine person, we have something to discuss. Otherwise, I suggest you accept the translation as 'person' (gender-neutral), supported by authoritative sources. I don't think anonymous claims of expertise help very much in a Bible translation project. [[User:JosephMac|JosephMac]] 17:58, 15 November 2009 (EST)
