It would then be a question of different metaphors that stand for the same thing. <br /><br />This can be relevant in Bible translations, if some biblical metaphors are drawn from things outside the ken of a reader in a very different time or place. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-30961044512860491712017-12-29T16:22:30.317-05:002017-12-29T16:22:30.317-05:00The post doesn't give examples of what might c...The post doesn't give examples of what might count as getting carried away, or not. As such, I don't know whether I agree or disagree.<br /><br />But, supposing I wanted to disagree, I'd observe that we can't just treat the context of God's revelation as random or irrelevant... because God actively planned and providentially brought about that context.
