Common Misconceptions and Mistranslation

Galatians 3:16

The singular usage of the word seed is clearly referring to Isaac but is almost always mistranslated to be a reference to Christ rather than the collective Anointed. This is done despite the context of the chapter and espeically despite Paul's previous statement, where he reminded that the covenant is not common.

Galatians 3:29

This verse is a significantly sinister and apparently deliberate mistranslation found in Galatians.
