At the risk of nagging, "alter" means to change. "Altar" is where Mass is said. If you spell the word correctly, you will not distract people with misspelling from noticing more substantive errors.

Also, since the Bible certainly was not written in English, neither priest nor presbyter nor bishop nor elder as English words were used but a Hebrew or Greek word in all likelihood or perhaps Aramaic.

Finally, for now, the Bible is silent on the question of what the weather was like in Jerusalem on the twentieth anniversary of the crucifixion. Hard though it may be for you to believe, it is very probable, nonetheless, that there WAS weather, describable in human words on that anniversary.

I thought God Himself handed the KJV directly to Martin Luther.

sigh...If only you really cared or understood or had the faith to see the extreme significance of what the bible doesn't say. When the inspired scriptures "which cannot be broken" doesn't say something about, say, a Christian Priesthood, or Mass, or Mary being assumed into heaven and distributing all graces, then these things are simply not so.
