See if you can figure out why.
Also the knowledge of the present KING JAMES is available to anyone who has an open mind to see how it is preserved
I reccomend you actuallt study it before you play games trying to debase it however.

word im not trying to debase it, just opening a discussion
what i was saying with my final paragraph is, wouldnt a gospel, written in the language it originated, be less watered down, than a gospel that has been translated 5 times from its original language?
but yo, did you know that scholars of the day thought the greek translation itself was an abomination and the most sacriligeous shit ever? back in whatever BC
one of the things changed for example, is mary being a virgin. she was actually a "maiden" which only meant young woman, they had a word for virgin, and would have used it if thats what they intended.
that is just one of an insane amount of things lost in translation
and think about this
that was lost from the FIRST translation. from aramaic to greek.
what was lost/changed when it went from greek to latin? what about latin to german? and so on.
another interesting tidbit. in the original texts, they don't number the "wise men" they basically say "some" wise men show up with gifts, and they arent "wise men" they are maegi
which i take to mean wizards.
thats just my personal belief however.
