Hi,
Chonenone quotes extensively from this version. Here is something from another site about it to explain it's special character.The Concordant New Testament
This translation is the work of a man named A.E.Knoch. He was deeply aware of the problems of translation, and came up with an interesting solution. He aimed for complete consistence of translating Greek words and verb tenses into English. Other translations frequently translate the same Greek word by several different English words. Knoch aimed to use one and only one English word for every Greek word. His very laudable aim was to protect his translation from his own 'personal views, inherited tendencies and traditional errors.'I believe he achieved his aim. Many traditional errors are removed. The Concordant New Testament has a very real contribution to make.
However, his translation method leads to other inaccuracies, because, as I have already pointed out, languages never correspond exactly to each other in word meanings, tenses, idiom, grammar or anything else. In addition to having inaccuracies, the resulting language is extremely quaint and unnatural.
In summary, I believe the Concordant New Testament is a useful contribution, but not the one and only accurate English New Testament, as its introduction rather implies, and as some of its readers seem to think – especially the followers of A.E.Knoch.
Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 17 2009,07:06) Hi,
This man tells us that Cornelius was a proselyte.
Scripture does not say so.
Greetings Nick….Your assertion is absolutely correct when say the varience in the structure of languages never conform to translations unequivically…..One only has to refer back to the events surrounding the tower of Babel…hi nick
Act 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
Act 10:2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
Act 10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
Act 10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.you don't believe what you read in the scriptures
?????Hi T,
Please explain yourself.
Cornelius was a devout and godfearing man who gave alms.
But he was not said to be a proselyte of the jewish faith but rather a roman of good conscience.hi nick
you looking for a word,the scriptures tells the works of his faith,what do you look for,
wich God was he worshing?
wich God did he pray to???
devout to whom?were was he in rome?
or was he in Israel,
was he surounded with jews or was worshiping roman Gods??hi Nick
what does make you?
he recieved the Holy spirit ,and he had the prove so well the apostele Peter could not deny it.
one more question;who can someone worshipe the true God if they do not have knowledge of him,and who could someone know him if no one teaches??Hi T,
Why does God's sovereign choice of Cornelius as a clean vessel fit to receive His Spirit have any bearing on anything?Read Rom 1 and Acts 17 and you will find that God is recognisable by all in His creation.
Hi T,
God inspired Peter to demand that Cornelius be still baptised in water.
But you do not think you need to be?hi nick
did God inspired Peter to baptise Cornelius ?,i have not seen that could you show were it is written in the scriptures your statement,
please,???Hi t,
Do you doubt the inspiration of the anointed sons of God?
Then who do you trust as the same Spirit led Jesus?hi nick
when you are wrong you don't want to admid it ,but i understand ,i don't share your ego,it was not the Holy spirit it was Peter conclution as man to baptise Cornelius,in the same way that Peter was in doing what he should have not ,when Paul show him the beavior stand he took between Jews and gentiles.
in the case of cornelius it show s clearly who his the caller ,not men but God through Christ.Quote (terraricca @ Dec. 23 2009,09:19) hi nick

Hi T:The Apostle Peter commanded Cornelius and those with him that had received the Holy Ghost to be baptized in water. Here it is:
Quote Act 10:44 ¶ While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Act 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Love in Christ,
Marty
