Bang on! Party’s over since it’s really not worth the pixels to correct every blogsite that you and boatbums can regurgitate with cut and paste.

It's really not worth it to you to defend the foundation of the faith you follow? It's curious that you came unto this thread of your own free will and sided with the Mormons and Armstrongites against the truth of the Trinity. But now you throw in the towel because your basis of authority is challenged?

The LDS have their own version of the Bible and so do JWs. If we Christians defend our faith in one of the basic tenets of the faith using the sacred Scriptures (God's word), isn't it relevant that the authority we rely upon is just as trustworthy as God gave it to us? We actually have manuscripts IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES they were written in so going back to check new translations is not all that hard to do. We can know some English versions are better than others because we have the source material. English has it's limitations and it wasn't even a known language until six hundred years ago or so. I have confidence that God ensured that His revealed truth is in a form that is both reliable as well as authoritative.

Use what you want. Nobody is attacking you. But don't expect to slide on by without being challenged. Especially not on a doctrine critical to being a genuine Christian.

You quote me above. If you understand it the rest of your post is pointless, if you don’t understand it I’ll explain. Understand or don’t understand? Which one is it?
