>> Now if the words that Jesus spoke to us were not translated perfectly or if they were not transmitted correctly how can God possibly require anything from anyone who does not hearken to His words?

Have you any idea how many variations in the wording of Scripture translations there have been over the last 19 centuries? And how many variations and contradictions of Scripture interpretation occur every hour of every day?
I assume none of that matters at all to people who have convinced themselves that the translation they favor is PERFECT as is their own personal understanding it. My my, such certitude!!

So I guess poor old God is going to be eating a lot of crow on judgement day. He's just going to have to let everyone in heaven because He was powerless to preserve His own words.

Mankind finally figured out a way to get one over on God Almighty.
