Re: ...

And you have access to these original texts? I believe many, many people would be very interested in seeing them.

I agree with Sidelined. You have no basis for telling anyone here why they do or don't believe in anything. Personally, evolution had nothing to do with my lack of belief as it had no problem accepting evolution when I did believe. Most of my friends who believe also have no problem in accepting evolution. Your beliefs are a very small minority of Christianity.

Re: ...

I'm not interested in Hebrew versions, you claimed an accurate rendition of the "ORIGINAL" texts. We do not have the original texts of either the OT or the NT.

I believe you need to do some research on the Qumran scrolls and their comparison to current texts. The cave 4 discoveries put to rest your...

Dead sea scrolls buried for nearly 2000yrs were found to match the current scripture almost identically. Also the original Hebrew scripture was translated into Greek in 270 b.c (septuagint). This early record provides another cross-check to current scriptural records

The importance of the scrolls which lay untouched for nearly 2000yrs provides absolute assurance that the Old Testament has remanined unchanged since long before the time of Christ

Not only were mistakes made, but deliberate textual changes seemed to have been made.

Re: we and us and GODs

I have seen her at your wonderful site, but I had her in my files for quite some time. She is also one of my favs (though there are infidels here that give me a hard time for her)

OK...back to your regularly scheduled topic.
