This is completely circular Baron. If any text was removed, again that would be a big IF, it would be one that others like the NASB, ESV, HCSB, and others have made. I hope you have been keeping up with textual criticism, you are the baron--right?

And strategically, I think it would be a horrible move. They already battle the "cult" and "sectarian" label and have been barred from the "mainstream" for decades. Can you imagine how bad it'll be if they do their own bible? Good heavens!!!

Dead on.

That's ABSOLUTELY correct. Scary.

It really doesn't matter in what language the bible was inspired. It's the thought of what God has said that matters, and so far, you boys can't accept any of the general thought that has been translated for centuries. You all have wondered SO far from Christian precepts, that you feel the need to write your own bible. That's scary.

You are one of the rare types that probably could quit your day job and take up a comedic act. You don't even realize that Trinitarians have the same problems with the text of Scripture as I have.

How dare you, Baron!!! Of course there are!! There are several that studied the bible several times and even memorized a few verses!! And did you take Greek from Sis. Myrick? I'll bet she could help!!!

Baron, email me. I will take it up with you from there. I am about to go to sleep for the night.

Not sure what you are saying here.

Are you suggesting that there is missing text?

Ahhhh that's so funny. When someone asked who wrote Hebrews one of my classmates offered up Sis. Myrick.

She must have taught Greek to half the UPC.

Yes, I do realize that many trinitarians, who also believe in One God (Just had to throw that in), have questioned the validity of various passages. But it's an UNBIASED questioning. It's honest. They aren't cherry-picking verses that don't fit into their heretical doctrine like you boys are.

And thanks for the compliment....the one about being a comedian!
