  has anyone been able to verify that fred franz received the minimal training in ancient greek that he claimed gave him the expertise to translate the bible?

  you would think that would be fairly easy to verify or disprove in this day and age.

  what college did he attend?

  Franz was in no way qualified to translate the bible.

  Here is an example of the qualifications of a biblical translator are....

  QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor degree.
  • Previous cross-cultural experience is beneficial.

  TRAINING

  • Successful completion of courses substantially similar to the following SIL standard courses:
  • Biblical Background Studies
  • Greek or Hebrew grammar and exegesis (12 semester hours minimum)
  • Articulatory Phonetics
  • Computer Data Management
  • Cultural Anthropology
  • Language and Culture Learning
  • Language and Society
  • Linguistic Field Methods
  • Morphology and Syntax
  • Phonology
  • Semantics and Pragmatics
  • Translation Principles, Theory and Practice
  • Intercultural Communication Course for select overseas assignments.
  • Language school or self-directed language study program as required by field of assignment.
  • Cross-cultural living internship or its equivalent as required.
  • Additional courses may be required before undertaking significant work in translation, project management, or training.

  I am still of the opinion that he belongs in jail. He pleaded guilty ! Why are we even considering whether he is racist or not. He is a thug!

  ... well, obviously not rey (daisy ridley) from the latest star wars films.

  she's a complete mary sue.

  but, before hollywood tried to force sjw propaganda down our throats, there were lots of powerful, legit female characters in film.. here are some of my favourites .... ripley (sigourney weaver): i though this character was great.

  Still a self confessed criminal. So why release him? Nobody has explained this yet. Isn't this the whole issue here ?

  Well it is fact that he has a long criminal history isn't it?

  For example his conviction for fraud.

  In November 2012, Robinson was charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by misrepresentation in relation to a mortgage application, along with five other defendants.[48] He pleaded guilty to two charges and in January 2014 was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment.

  Interesting I am surprised that some here would be interested in leniency for a drug dealer who entered the U.S. Illegally. This man is not a good person.

  "October 2012, Robinson was arrested and held on the charge of having entered the United States illegally. Robinson pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court to using someone else's passport to travel to the United States in September 2012, and was sentenced in January of 2013 to 10 months' imprisonment.[36][37] Robinson had used a passport in the name of Andrew McMaster to board a Virgin Atlantic flight from Heathrow to New York.[38] He had been banned from entering the USA due to a drugs offence. He was detained by authorities in New York as an illegal immigrant but left the USA the next day using a passport in the name of Paul Harris to travel back to the UK"
