further thoughts on Terry's good comments

:I think your other points are open to more discussion and debate.  Taking one, I feel the term "Pharisees" means nothing to people today, and their biblical views seem irrelevant.  I'm intrigued by calling them "incumbents" because that gets at the real issue and conflict, doesn't it?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:57, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

:: Further thoughts:  it appears that the original meaning of an "incumbent" was an ecclesiastical position!

:: The more important translation is the "first shall be last, and the last shall be first."  People don't understand that English phrase, and think greater clarity in the English would be helpful.  I made a suggestion in one of its appearances after some thought, along the lines of the "highest position among men shall be last, and the last the shall be first."  But suggestions are welcome, as the essence of this project is to bring out the best from many to obtain an optimal translation as of 2009.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 08:51, 14 October 2009 (EDT)
