→‎Luke 6:35: Luke 6:35 is perhaps the toughest single verse yet ... after John 1:1!
Line 121: Line 121:     
I just saw your very recent translation of Luke 6:35, and have a question about the use of the phrase "sons of God." While I wholeheartedly agree that we don't want to use the gender-neutral "children", the translated verse in a way implies that each good person will become a "son of God." As we know, there is only one Son of God - Jesus Christ. I wonder if this could be rephrased somehow, although it might be difficult (as you pointed out, this verse could be the subject of entire thesis!). --[[User:FatherJoseph|FatherJoseph]] 19:59, 12 December 2009 (EST)

:Great point.  Luke 6:35 is perhaps the toughest single verse yet ... after John 1:1!  By the way, the objection I have to "children of God" is that removes our responsibility, accountability, adult-like nature, etc.  The [[KJV]] does have occasional examples of misguided gender-neutralization, and it's impressive that the NASB is more conservative on this point than the KJV!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:12, 12 December 2009 (EST)
