HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yep, cos the Good News edition totally reads the same as the King James version and the New International version. Totally!
And that's just staying within the realms of the English language...
Huh. So, uh, why is it that the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text don't completely agree, and why is it that some of the Bible texts found at Qumran are drastically different from the modern forms? Why do non-fundies find the KJV-onlyers to be out of their minds?
And God spake, saying "Verily, thou art an r-tard. Go unto the library, and beat thyself with a clue-by-four and a copy of 'A History of the Bible.'"
True.
Except, y'know, not.
Oh, yes indeed. Nothing was ever taken out of the Bible (Deutercanonical texts, or the 'Apocrypha') or added, no, not ever!
I stand on the shoulders of giants such as Matthew Henry, Wycliffe, and many many other people who did read and speak fluent Greek and Hebrew. These men spent their whole lives translating and pouring over scriptures and manuscripts. The fact is most manuscript evidence provides a substatiated fact that the bible has undergone very little translational error from it's original form. The problem is and always has been cults sects of Christianity perverting the gospel and editing texts that have been found and used by the most ignorant of atheist as proof the bible has been altered. The fact is that is no more proof then if sometime in the future while digging through a vast ancient archive someone stumbles on a book of Mormon and says that Christianity has been preaching a perversion since they found another manuscript called the book of Mormon that teaches the truth. There has always been naysayers and I don't care if you think my comment was stupid. It is symbolic of childhood adolescence when someone said something you didn't like you got a group of friends together to make fun of them. It is childish and if I die serving a God that doesn't exist at least I can be thankful to the universe that I didn't spend my life rallying the troops against a cause that I didn't even believe existed. This fact in itself makes me a stronger christian. If there were no devil and God didn't set the foundation of the universe you would pay my comment no more attention then a mumbling fool on the corner begging for change.
God Bless you and may he deliver you from your disbelief.

Would that include all those fake manuscripts? You know, the ones that were so prevelent back in the 2nd century, they didn't know what was real and what was fake? The same problem that is faced today?
Besides... which is the right version of the Bible?
if I die serving a God that doesn't exist at least I can be thankful to the universe that I didn't spend my life rallying the troops against a cause that I didn't even believe existed. Instead you'll have spent your life rallying the troops against a cause that promotes Humanity as something worthwhile...
Yeah, that's somethign to be thankful for.

Oh, if only it were that simple. The fact is though that you and your fellow fanatics are being directed to implement horrifying damage on the country I love. The replacement of science with biblical myth in classroom is one example. The exclusion of marriage benefits to certain members of society due to the interpretation of certain biblical passages is another. The mumbling fool on the corner is harmless, you and your fellow sheep are anything but.
And as far as the bible not changing, John 7:53-8:11 is absent from the oldest versions of the text. While this is the most widely known (except among Christian fanatics) of biblical alterations, it is far from the only one. You display a great deal of arrogance for some one who has very little idea of what he is talking about. You are not standing on the shoulders of genuine scholars. You are dressing up int their ill-fitting clothes like a child pretending to be a grown up.
Drop by anytime you need another lesson.
Why do they attack the Mormons so much? They're end-timers too.
I mean, I know Smith's a recognized fruitcake but they also follow such nutters and believe in ridiculous unBiblical things.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
