One of the most crucial mistakes that divides Catholicism from the other christian faiths is the translation of Matthew 16:18. For about 1400 years the translation of this verse had always been "Peter, you are rock, and upon this rock I build this church." This is what is written in Latin: "et ego dico tibi quia tu es petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam" and also in Aramaic, where the word "ܟܐܦܐ" is used both times to address the term rock. When translating form Aramaic, to Latin, to Greek, to English, however, there is confusion over the word. "Pertus" is changed to pebble in English and petram is translated as rock, even though, in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek (βότσαλο) they are the same. The confusion lies in the fact, that it is hard to get a good translation from the Greek, which had been already translated from two other languages into English. Thus, one should look at this verse in Latin or Aramaic.
The Boston Celtics took an impetuous lead in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, triumphing over the Heat 94-90, and taking a 3-2 lead in the series. The last two times Lebron James played the Celtics in a game 6 situation, the Celtics went on to win the series, regardless of the win/loss state the game.

Game 6: 2008 Eastern Conference Semifinals
Cleveland Cavaliers 74 – Boston Celtics 69
(Cavs forced a Game 7, which the Celtics won)
James: 47 minutes, 32 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists
Chris Bosh, however, who played only fourteen minutes of Game 5, helped limit both Rondo and Garnett to very few points. Miami, consequently, led the game for the first three quarters of the ball game. It was only in the fourth quarter, when bosh was off the court, that the Celtics were able to rely on Garnett and clutch a 94-90 lead.
What Miami has to do to win: Chris Bosh and Lebron James will have to limit the production of Kevin Garnet and Rondo, while the Heat offense will need to be consistent against the Celtics zone defense.
What Boston has to do to hang on: Boston will have to adjust their offense around Chris Bosh and rebound, rebound, rebound. (Miami out rebounded Boston 49-39 Game 5.)
