Freedom

The Greek word eleutheria means freedom and liberation. In the First Century, the Greek eleutheria specifically referred to a former slave who has been freed. Using KJV English can confuse people as to the true Greek meaning. In 16th Century English, liberty means freedom.

As another example, in Luke 4, KJV says that Jesus came 'to set at liberty them that are bruised." The Greek means to free those who are oppressed. Using KJV English is unwise, because 16th Century English uses different words than modern English for the same thing and confuses the common people who Jesus dearly loves.

Greetings,

It hasn't confused me yet.

I'm not advocating KJV Only but to be reasonable, your argument is repeated or regurgitated nonsense.

Anyone can get confused about anything. Sadly, many confused refuse to acknowledge it.
Perhaps pride or fear but admitting error is difficult for some.

The Lord is not one for confusion.

Please tell me/us...

Are we in bondage or enslaved before being set free in the Lord?


Bless you ....><>
