바울이 알려 주고자 했던 *THE UNKNOWN GOD

사도 바울이 아테네 사람들에게 알려 주고자 했던 것은 하나님이지 '신'이 아니었습니다. 킹제임스 성경과 다른 성경을 비교해 보십시오. 바울은 그들에게 그들이 경배하면서도 그들이 알지 못하는 하나님을 알려 주고자 했습니다. *THE UNKNOWN GOD. 사도 바울은 그들에게 THE UNKNOWN GOD를 복음 선포를 통해 알려(KNOWN) 주었습니다. 바울은 아테네 사람들에게 결코 "an unknown god"(미지의 한 신)을 밝히 알려 준 것이 아닙니다. 만약 그들의 제단에 "To an unknown god"(미지의 한 신에게)라고 새겨져 있었다면 바울은 그 문구로부터 시작해서 복음 선포를 할 수 없었을 것입니다. 바울이 본 것은 TO THE UNKNOWN GOD 였습니다.

내가 지나다니며 너희가 섬기는 것들을 보다가, {알지 못하는 신에게}, 라고 새긴 글이 있는 제단을 발견하였나니 그런즉 너희가 알지 못하고 경배하는 그분을 내가 너희에게 밝히 알려 주리라. (흠정역)
