Ball Padiotrkion with Robaion Haolth Cora { Vers often I see children brought to the clinic by parents concerned about the shape of the child's legs The two most common conditions are bow legs (genu \ arus) and knockknees (genu \algum) What I try to remind parents in the clinic is that cither condittoncan be normal for that particular child Remember that infants genera I Is have bow ing of the legs during the first year of life By about 12 to 18 months the legs begin to straighten out and may even progress to mild knock-knees Usually by 6 or 7 years of age the alignment of the legs arc set for good To determine how bowed or knock-knees might be. I have the child stand perfectly straight with their ankles touching If there is a gap betw een the knees, then they arc bow legged; if the knees overlap, they arc knock-kneed This test can be done at home To reassure parents, I stand in front of them in my office and show then that I am bow lcggcd and mention that ntv 5 yearolddaughtcr is knock-kneed 1 also try to remember to tell parents that some of J t he I astest ru n ne rs a re slightly knock kneed (Dads reall> lose to hear that about their children!) Only if these conditions are se\erc or occur only on one side does a doctor need to be consulted Let me briefly mention one other orthopedic condition seen in kids-flalfccl (pes planus) Flatfectare normal in infants and young children The arch will develop whether the child goes barefoot or wears shoes One out of every 7 children will never develop an arch and this is usually because the foot is loose-jointed. The arch flattens w hen they are standing Buy ing special shoes or using arch supports for these kids is usually bothersome to their feet and a waste of the parents' money It is when the flatfoot is stiff, painful or very severe that it needs medical attention or special shoe supports. Remember that the good Lord made us in all different shapes and sizes, and if measured, no one would have perfectly straight legs. Thanks for tuning in. and we'll talk again next week! According to Scripture Sponsored by the Pembroke Seventh Day Adventist Church To the Christian, the word of God is of paramount important. It is the criteria by which all doctrines are established. It is the last word on faith and practice It cither builds our faith up or tears it down. Today there is nothing more important for building faith in God! As such it's very important to have a Bible that is based on the most reliable manuscripts available. And the translators must not only have the best manuscripts, but equally important is that they have no bias in the way they translate any text, but that they stay close to the original meaning of the word. It is essential that they have studied ancient languages and the way in which words were used. So a scholar'scredenlialsand background ire important. The Old Testament manuscripts ire not really under scrutiny i this itudy since there is really no question >y 95% of believers and scholars. They have been established since the liscovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Manuscripts hereinafter referred to isText(s)). All agree that there are no known original texts that came directly from the Apostles. Somcppq ,, had to coy the tests from the originals (the paper used in the originals were Dflcn in a state of disintegrating and need to be copied to be preserved) ind this happened repetitively over ime. There arc two main texts that ire at the forefront of this contro1 ' versv. The Critical 1 ext. also known as the Alexandrian text, or the Westem text. It is from this text that the Roman Catholic Church commissioned Jerome to translate hat is now known as the Latin Vulgate, which was declared as the Council of Trent (a Catholic council in the 16th century) to be without error. From this text the Catholics have the Douay version. There were only about 10 of these texts in existence until recently, It was the year 1844 when the Sinaiticus was discovered by Constantine Tischendorf at a monastery at the base of Mt. Sinai. It was in a waste basket destined to be burned! There was another similar text called the Vaticanus found and brought to the Vatican by Pope Nicholas V in 1448. These two texts are the oldest texts known to exist, and as such arc believed by many to be the most reliable, even though there are some differences in the two texts. Over 3000 differences exist in the four Gospels alone. The Vaticanus omits Genesis 1:1Gcnesis 46:28, Psalms 106-138. Matthew 16:2-3, Paul's Pastoral letters, Hebrewsfe: 14-13:25. all ofRevclation In the gospels alone it leaves out 237 words, 452 clauses, 748 whole sentences, it also includes the Apocrypha. The Sinaiticus repeats itself many times with the same phrases, words are left out, letters of words are omitted, things which indicate a lack of can; in cop> ing Some of ihe versions based on the Cnucal text are the Ness International Version, Revised Standard version. New world Bible, New English Bible, New Jerusalem Bible, N ASB.TEV. N'RSV, Phillips, Douav. Amplified, Living, and almost all modern versions The Receiv ed Text a k a the Tc.xtus Reccptus, the Syrian Text the Eastern Text, and as the Majority Text There are about 4,000 texts known to exist! It was from this text that the Syrian Church, Waldenses. Hugenouts, and the Cletic churches got their Bible It is the bible of the Reformation. It had constant use from all corners of the world that held to the Holiness of God's word and this is shown in that even though there are so many different texts that have shown no significant omissions or changes from text to text. The King James Version uses this text as it's foundation. In the fourth century Emperor Constantine commissioned Eusebius, a bishop of Caesarea., to make 50 copies of the new Testament. Euscbius chose the Critical Text as his text to copy. Euscbius was an admirer of Origen, a Gnostic, (Gnostic's don't believe that Jesus is part ofthe triune God), Origen wanted to merge paganism with Christianity and was himself a scribe of scripture and it was probably because of his influence that Eusebius chose a text which promoted these views. It is believed that at least one of the two lexis found were of the original >U thai Eusebius was commissioned 10 cop The view thai Jesus was less lhan fully God has played ns role in the belief now held by Jehovah's Witnesses among others, thai Jesus -was a crated being This brings Us to the more recent scribes w ho were at the forefront of translating the critical text to what became known as the Revised Version Brooke Foss Wcscott and Fcnton John Anthony Hort circulated their bwn text translated from the Critical Text among the revision committee comprised of 54 men who were to produce the Revised Version These tw o men were to be part of the revising committee, but succeeded in foisting their own text upon the committee members as the best manuscript based on the Vaticanus and the Sinaiticus. the Modern Bible's text Listen to 100.9 Sunday 12:30 P.M..
