Nope; I'm stuck on Scriptures. Not what people say. You say they're wrong. What evidence do you proffer to contradict Christ's Words, He being born of Jews Himself. Even as He hung on the cross, while dying, He gave validity to the Old Testament Scriptures ("...in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled" (John 19:28)). What evidence do you have that the Apostle Paul's words about the Scriptures ("All Scripture is given by inspiration of God" 2 Timothy 3:16), are in error? Paul was not only a Jew but "born in Tarsus of Cilicia, educated under Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of [his] fathers, being zealous for God (Acts 23:3); of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee, as to zeal, a persecutor for the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless" (Philippians 3:5-6); a Roman citizen.

How about all the disciples who, likewise, repeated these same type of comments throughout the New Testament Scriptures concerning the texts we now call the Old Testament?

If you are going to state that the Scriptures are a lie or a "sanitary version", upon what evidence do you rely? State how you refute Christ's Words, the Apostle Paul's, and the Disciples. Even after Satan accurately quoted the Old Testament Scriptures to Christ, Christ did not deny the passages cited were cited accurately and correctly, just that Satan twisted and distorted their meaning.

You, otoh, are claiming that both the New and Old Testament Scriptures are WRONG.

Given that the Apostle Paul was a scholar, a learned and read man of the Old Testament Scriptures himself, and seeing as how all of Christ's disciples, save one, were faithful Jews, in addition to the fact that Christ, Himself, knew the Scriptures and quoted them frequently as He walked in human flesh upon this earth, I would like to know from whom you base your claim?

According to whom and in what way, specifically, are the Old and New Testaments a "sanitary version"? Which parts of the Old and New Testaments are in error, specifically? Which rabbi scholars of the Old Testament have found it in error? Which scholars of the Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew languages have declared it substantively interpreted incorrectly into English?

..., I would like to know from whom you base your claim?

Joe said so!!!!

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
