“oh and just a point - the Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek - not in KJV English. That may shatter your world, but that’s just the first...”

Amazing how many English speaking only people in the world know about Christ, the Sabbath, Rightiousness by faith, Justification, etc... and have never read it in any other language other than English. Simply amazing. There was a time when only Catholic priests were allowed to read from the bible or even have one and then it was in Latin (which most of the general population did not speak). Anyone else even caught with a few pages of the bible was hunted down and put to death (after being tortured, of course). The bible has been faithfully translated and the KJV is pretty much as close to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek as it gets. I don’t need to read it in the original language to be assured of a true translation. But, you have my permission to read from the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek. Be my guest.

No, the amazing part is that some don't realize the feast of Christ's resurrection is called Pascha - and only in English do you call it Easter, after the month of "oster" signifying east/spring.

for your edification, Oster is also the root of the country name Osterreich or eastern land.
