By the way, Toddler, your statement, “doctrinally true to the original Greek manuscripts” is not a proper use.

Semantics aside what I was saying is that no orthodox doctrine is affected by the issues with the Textus Receptus. One commonly accepted debate technique is to interpret the other person's statement in the kindest light of what they are trying to convey rather than attacking them based on minutia and semantics.

Exegesis v. Eisegesis as I have explained previously.

I am perfectly conversant with the difference between exegesis and eisegesis. It does not apply in this instance as exegesis is allowing the text to speak for itself and extracting the meaning which it naturally conveys. Eisegesis is reading into the text an agenda which one brings with them and attempting to make the text unnaturally conform to that agenda, Hardly what I did by not being perfectly clear in my communication

The MQD has asked this be moved to festival/religion threads.
Please, for the Love of God.
