"You have no more idea than I what the exact wording was."

That admission of Scriptural cluelessness was both unexpected and refreshing. Absent a teaching authority you are pretty much doomed to fumbling along blindly, lashing out at others until your day of reckoning.

"You have no more idea than I what the exact wording was."

That admission of Scriptural cluelessness was both unexpected and refreshing. Absent a teaching authority you are pretty much doomed to fumbling along blindly, lashing out at others until your day of reckoning.

Let's look at just one of the "authorized" English language Catholic Bibles.

The NAB editions, 1970, 1986, 1991, (2010?). The poor dummies must have been working with the same "original" Scripture with the exact same wording, yet enough "errors" were made to require "improved" version after version.

If only Natural Law were available and willing we would, no doubt, have the one perfect edition.

The fact that no original manuscripts exist is of no account. Natural Law "knows" what the exact original wording was.

Perhaps it is time for the one qualified expert in the world to compile the one "perfect" Bible in the original languages and then, at the least, compile the "perfect" Bible in contemporary English. (That would be sufficient for a time.)

After all, the only person in the entire world who is not "Scripturally clueless" must, by the standards of Natural Law, be Natural Law.
