i was described thus in greek class today. it's ok, though, because some foreign guy said it.
i thought it was funny, particularly because it was inspired by my translation of part of colossians 1:16. the nasb has it as "for by him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible," while i said, "for by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the visibles and the invisibles". i like making words up.
well, maybe what actually prompted my dear friend to threaten me with burning at the stake was my confussion as to the meaning of the anarthrous "eikon" in verse 15 - a favourite of jehovah's witnesses. meh. this is my thing: challenge scripture all you want. if it's true, it'll survive your critical examination. so far, so good.
also, fyi: being wrong about something doesn't make you a heretic. i would have to be one who dissents from an accepted belief or doctrine. which i'm not. though, you know, try me tomorrow.
:D

I liked your translation, it was cool.
I'm glad you had a good day today
Remember all the “nice” things that you said about NIV, this should teach you how to speak badly about highly educated men of God. However, heresy has a wider meaning as well I am sure definition goes like that, heretic – any woman that claim that Bible should include words like visibles and invisibles.
