Man’s religion may promote dogmatic thinking, the Lord certainly doesn’t. Interestingly enough, most of the times God is chastising individuals or nations in Scripture, He is blasting them for NOT thinking clearly and using the wisdom and logic he gave them. Christ is literally the ‘logos’ after all.
Then refer to the Greek. You will find a mistranslation every time. Gentile is used to replace 34 different words and sometimes even sentences. Sentences in the Greek language that are rich with meaning and metaphorical interpretation.
They replace words with power like «έθνος» = nation.
They replace words like: «ελλην» = Greek - a great civilisation of the time.
Every time they moderate greater words - for a word that represents simply “non-Jew”.
The words of the Bible of strength and stature can not simply replace the words with “gentile”.... you are not simply a “non-Jew”.
Imagine if the Bible was written today and they replaced - Nation; USA and entire powerful sentences filled with meaning with “gentile”.....
Jesus fought the Jewish priests supremacy and preached equality for all, before his crucifix action. And he never ever used a weak word like “non-Jew” to replace these ideas...
And yet many Christian evangelicals are obsessed with joining the “Jewish tribe” of Jesus. Jesus was a rebel of racial superiority. He was for equality under god.
Are you now still surprised - at the division in USA? When even the Bible was manipulated into tribal affiliation... and demolishes strong words and concepts?
It translates to a concept not in the English language in a single word.
Let me paint you a picture.
Imagine the lion in the picture above - eating his meal patiently; as 20 hyenas circle him. He remains composed and able. Yet does not resort to violence, yet is capable of it. Tolerant yet battle ready. Able to follow commands of a general also, and not shoot or engage in violence unnecessarily.
It litterally translates to the “calm before the storm” in a personified manner.
It translates to temperance and control of the strong.
Meek does not mean just passive. It means battleready and keeping your sword sheathed. It translates to tolerance.
The Greek is not simply words. It is personified images.

Is sorta at odds with a lot of the stuff written in the bible, the reason should be obvious....
Can you give me an example?
Look for the word “gentile” in the Bible...
