With the rise of the internet I have learned that one of the best ways to prove a teaching is to post the address of a website that has listed all the different bible translations of a verse.
This allows the person Im teaching to go over the very same verse in 20 different translations and this helps them get a very well-rounded understanding of what the Bible is saying there.
