In this case, obviously, if something is against the will of God or if one asks with the wrong motive, no matter how much one believes for something, it wonвЂ™t happen. Careful attention, comparing scripture with scripture, knowing the Bible and its author thoroughly, making certain not to necessary apply things to ourselves which werenвЂ™t meant for us individually and some basics about the original languages are needed to prevent us from misinterpreting various scripture verses like this one.

The Bible is full of exaggerations like the one above which are NOT to be taken literally. вЂњEverything is possible for him who believes.вЂќ (Mark 9:23b, NIV) However, here is a hyperbole that the average Bible reader may miss and formulate doctrine from which may end up being harmful to themselves and others. Therefore most English speaking people know the real meaning of that phrase: вЂњYou pay close attention to little things but neglect the important things.вЂќ Because the English language is full of Bible terms and phraseology, this Hebrew idiom has become part of the English language. It is not too difficult to determine that this is a hyperbole, an exaggeration. вЂњYou blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.вЂќ (Matt. Even though they may have translated each WORD faithfully and correctly, they have not conveyed the true meaning behind the phrase or sentence.ДЇor example, this verse is a hyperbole, an exaggeration for effect: Word-for-word literal translations are FULL of phrases and sentences which have NOT been faithfully translated. If these figures of speech are taken literally, one will misinterpret what the scriptures say. Hyperbole, one of over 200 different types of figures of speech found in the Bible, is exaggeration for effect.

Even though the very words do not imply so, Americans know from past usage that this term means, вЂњit is raining heavily.вЂќ That is because one cannot get the true meaning behind the hundreds of figures of speech in the Bible which cannot be transferred into English using a word-for-word approach and still convey the true meaning.ДЇor example, вЂњIt is raining cats and dogsвЂќ is a figure of speech that would probably make no sense in another language if translated literally word for word. Most Bible translations and Bible teachers do not point this out clearly enough.Д«ible translations that try to maintain a literal word-for-word approach are usually the most guilty for not transmitting the true meaning behind the original languages. I believe one of the leading causes of stumbling is not being aware that the original language of the Bible (Hebrew) is a highly exaggerative language, sometimes even to the point of what would appear to be lying from a Western point of view.

Many Christians do not realize that some of the most popular Bible translations do not accurately convey the true meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures. There are many things that can cause a person to misinterpret what is written in various translations of the Bible. Bible Matters #9 Hyperbole By Gary Amirault
