Raymond, Peace also be with you! As we previously discussed, all translation and transcription errors, are explainable. There is not even one, if you go back and look at the original manuscripts. No errors, God word in the original manuscripts are perfect. And through all major translations, the truth about God is obtainable. So I tell anyone I'm talking to you about this. Use any translation you want. Compare any translations you want when you are studying. Guaranteed, it won't make a different in learning God's truth. Now if you care to nitpick, if a translation says someone has become a king at 8 and another at 18, who cares when the story has no bearing in any lesson. And if you go back to the original manuscripts, they are consistent. My point is, the salvation message is the most important part of the bible. Not that nothing else is...far be it from me to say this. But the human errors are so minor, inconsequential and all explainable, that they don't matter. The original manuscripts are the 100% proof you require Raymond! God Bless, Steve

Raymond, <<Proof is the essential element missing from your equation.>> Proof is missing from all of these equations. In fact, proof in any scientific sense is impossible in any religious equation. Religion is by definition a question of faith, which is why one person's faith cannot possibly be more inherently valid than another's. None of us know. We believe we know. We will all find out when it is time for us to know - when we die. Until then, doesn't it make more sense simply to respect each other's beliefs? Steve
