First, let me answer a question you posted to me: NAB is OK, I guess, though I personally use the NIV. As for Septuagint and Masoretic, I guess Hebrew wins because it's the original language, but I don't see it as a serious issue.

My problem is that you're acting as if this has to do with Protestant vs. Catholic. Well, I'm sorry to break it to you, but it has to do with you having a cavalier (and unjustified) attitude toward the validity of scripture, and with you advancing beliefs other than Catholic Doctrine. For example, sin came into the world through Eve? Open your catechism and look at 404. Find me a place in the catechism where it talks about Jesus correcting the errors in the Law. Either you are saying Catholic doctrine is something it isn't, or you are saying you're a Catholic who knows better than Catholic doctrine. I'm also still trying to figure out how you know what Jesus said and did if the Bible's so unreliable.

In short, I and these others are standing up for the doctrines all Christians share, and you are treating it as uncivil infighting. Sure, I'm willing to discuss these matters civilly (just as I have been) but I'm not willing to cheer as my fellows have and act as if you've stilled the storm of intermural conflict. Unity is great, but the unity has to be around the teachings of Christ, not around vague good feelings and a wish to bring in non-believers.

Sorry if that stuff leaves a mark, but I wouldn't have felt I was being honest if I didn't say it. Proceed if you still wish to.

"unity has to be around the teachings of Christ,"

I don't have a problem with that.
