Fair warning received and acknowledged.

I am very much a Christian --- a covert from Judaism, no less.

I take my faith very seriously and do accept the entire Bible as the Word of God.

The "Christians" who twist and modify the Word to fit their pre-conceived agenda and notions of the world sadden me greatly. They remind me of the pharasees (my ancestors) who rejected Christ because they read the prophecies with an agenda that did not fit the God's reality.

Indeed, I would venture as far as saying that they are willing or unknowing agents of Satan, in that they are making Christians look dishonest or stupid or both.

I likwise am a Christian and take my Bible seriously. Indeed, I have a doctorate in theology, and worked on two major Bible translations. I hope you realize the danger of the last statement.
