Sheeezzzeeee...In one place you tell me Timothy was written by Paul and that was his opinion and now you tell me the Greek text are more reliable than the KJV. Does it matter if it was only Paul's opinion?

Don't be twisting things around, HD. The KJV is based on retro-engineered "original" from the Latin copy of a copy and passed on as "Byzantine."

Re Timothy: I said that our Lord did not teach that bishops are to be married or not. It's not part of theology or Christology. It's a matter of ecclesial discipline, and when it came to such issues as celibacy or morality, or virginity, +Paul was expressing his own opinions (cf Cor 17:25). On other occasions, if he spoke on authoirty from the Lord, he makes that well known.

Nothing to twist. If it's in the canon then it is inspired by God:

The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God (II Timothy 3:16), and is a crucial part of God's self-revelation to the human race. The Old Testament tells the history of that revelation from Creation through the Age of the Prophets. The New Testament records the birth and life of Jesus as well as the writings of His Apostles. It also includes some of the history of the early Church and especially sets forth the Church's apostolic doctrine. Though these writings were read in the Churches from the time they first appeared, the earliest listings of all the New Testament books exactly as we know them today is found in the 33rd Canon of a local council held at Carthage in 318, and in a fragment of St. Athanasius of Alexandria's Festal Letter in 367. Both sources list all of the books of the New Testament without exception. A local council, probably held at Rome in 382, set forth a complete list of the canonical books of both the Old and the New Testaments. The Scriptures are at the very heart of Orthodox worship and devotion. - The Orthodox Church Teachings

That would include all of the writings.

The KJV must be thought of as equivalent to that resulting if George Bush commissioned HIS Secretary of State, Condi Rice, to write a new version of Scripture.

Of course SOME republicans would like it, but most Christians would go - T'Hell's up with George? He's gone right round the bend...
