All Scripture is God-breathed (2)

Every time Hebrew and Greek male inclusives are removed from the English text of Scripture, the translators have made the decision to leave God's inspired words behind, substituting what they themselves judge to be His “real,” “true,” or “accurate” meanings behind His words. The typical statement these men would make justifying what they have done is to say, “The meaning is all people, not just men.”

Point out to them that the actual Greek word has a clear male meaning component and they become irritable and dismissive. “That’s not significant.” Or “Gender isn’t meaning.” Or “That’s just how they spoke in ancient patriarchal cultures.” Or that old standby, “All translation is interpretation. You can't escape it. I would have thought you would know that.”
