That’s one reason I always laugh at Christians who believe the Bible is the literal word of God when right on the cover it says “King James Version.”

Obviously, you're very proud of yourself.

So you’re suggesting that if we can’t read the Gospels in the original Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek we aren’t getting the literal word?

LOL - you have a point, but that first of it's kind is probably the most accurate translation. I spent years in study of the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages, and have copies of all the original text in those languages - with a large number books covering newly found copies of scrolls and fragments.

What is most amazing is the accuracy of the oldest translations and copies - versus the ever increasing pollution and twisting of intent found in the 'modern versions.'

Hey - too many want to put words in the mouth of God himself... (for which the Book says they will pay dearly.)

Gee, another skeptic (atheist), hard at it. Someone who has spent many years studying all the possibilities regarding GOD’s holy word, with at least one degree in theological study under his belt. Someone we should listen to.

Thank you sir for your insight.

You make a good point. There are those who still believe the Bible is infallable and inerrant in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

That maks as much sense as rejecting Romeo & Juliet because right on the cover it says "Oxford Classics Series."
