Oooh, you're making me squirm, now, dear Sab (peace to you, dear one!). Can we move on, please? Thank you, luv, truly. On ALL grounds!
Maybe you could get the bible on pdf and score through all the "lying pens of the scibes" bits and highlight all the good bits and share it with everybody.
Funny you mention THAT, as well, dear Cofty (again, peace to you!). I asked about that some years ago ("My Lord, why don't we [I and a couple/few others] do an 'accurate' Bible translation?"). My Lord's response to me was a vehement NO. Do NOT do that! He gave us four (4) reasons:
1. He didn't call us to do that; that was NOT our "assignment";
2. We would make errors, because we are not 100% perfect; our eyes and ears would fail us at some point(s)... and people could potentially be misled again, as a result;
3. What would be the point, truly, if folks are supposed to come to HIM? Would it not be yet another deflection... something else for people to look at/to... rather than to him?
4. We would be "judged" by what was IN "our" version, as all those (scribes, copyists, authors, etc., ) who undertook their various versions will be
Who can argue with that? I couldn't/can't. He was absolutely right.
So, sorry, dear one, but... nope. Not MY "assignment." I'm sticking to what HE says I should be doing. Going ahead of that could get ME in a great pickle. As you have probably seen here, from time to time, when I post "on my own." I'm foolish, yes, but not a complete idjit - LOLOLOL!
Would any of the OT survive in your version?
Actually, dear one, a lot would (I mean, there's a LOT in there); doesn't mean it's of any real value/benefit, though. Like the records/chronologies - who cares? I truly don't. Unfortunately, which parts would go and which would stay specifically... well, we'll never know!
Again, peace to you, both!
Your servant and a slave of Christ,
SA
