"You assigned this arbitrarily in terms of language and in choice of author."

There are three Scriptural accounts of the inscription. Only one, Luke, mentions using three different languages. John says that Pilate wrote it and says nothing of different languages.

However, not all Bible translations contain the mention of the three languages in Luke and many of the early Greek manuscripts do not contain it. Some believe that this was included by later translators and transcribers to resolve this difficulty. In any event it forces us to look to the ENTIRE Revealed Word as a whole to determine the Message of Jesus and to not try to base or twist Christianity on a single verse.

If you keep going on like that, you will have your self-pope licence revoked.
