Good question! On this particular issue, said person accused moi of leaving out part of another's comments and called it "sneaky" even. But when it was brought to his attention that I had NOT left the part out, I have yet to hear one word of apology. Not a day goes by that we don't see DEMANDS for retractions, apologies and reparations, yet not a word on such an easily proven mistake. Instead, all I've seen is MORE derision, more repetition of the same mistake and, get this, laughingly calling it "whining". Imagine the outrage if the shoe was on the other foot! Either way, I didn't expect the consideration. I think some have made it more than clear, we are just "swine" who don't deserve Christian charity.

Other than that, you are quite correct that things do not seem to be in place. My Mom asked me for the reference for the "be still and know that I am God" verse. I showed her it was from Psalm 46:10, she said "her" Bible didn't have that. Sure enough, when I looked it up in several online versions, the Douay-Rheims has Psalm 46:10 as "The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted." - weird. I did a search for the phrase, "The princes of the people are gathered together..." in the KJV and it hit on Psalm 47:9. Which says, "The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.". Psalm 45:11, in the DR appears to be where the "be still and know that I am God" verse is. I'd like to know why the DR is off from the other English language versions.

Can you imagine when those during the reformation period began to translate from the original Greek and Hebrew realized that the Bible the RC was using didn’t match up? Is it any wonder they ended up splitting after trying to get the RC to see the error? God was surely using those men to get true scripture out to the people.
