[Invincibly Ignorant]

What, only a hunch? I thought you Proddies had the infallible ability to read the thoughts of a 1st Century Jew about whom we knew next to nothing just by reading a Greek translation of his original work.

The translation doesn't matter. It reads the same in context in everyone of them. Thanx for asking. Join in again when you feel threatened.

The translation doesn't matter. It reads the same in context in everyone of them.

Except that ypu are the one who is supplying the context. Never mind, Luther was under the same delusion-- that he could read the minds of people who had been dead 1400 years without deferring to what anyone else had said during that time.

The translation doesn't matter? I think Jesus saying "You are Cephas, and on this Cephas I will build my Church" is hell'sa different than "You are Petros, and on this petra I will build my Church. It makes ALL the difference.
