"Someone else keeps googling Bibles I mention and then posting whatever interesting info the internet gives about them which although quite interesting, is slightly pointless"
Pointless?
There is a verse in the Bible that is open to much debate and discussion as to what is actually meant.
A recent translation of the Bible replaces one word in that verse with a euphemistic interpretation.
It so happens that the choice of meaning is one that represents the Church's position on the controversial understanding of that verse.
It also so happens that the choice of meaning denies the possibility of the Church's opponents position on the meaning of the verse.
Future readers of that verse are left with the impression that there is no debate as to what the verse actually means.
Blair does that sort of word play in the "dodgy dossier" and people are calling for him to be tried for war crimes.
A religious group does it to a Bible and it's called "pointless" to debate it.
"We have already ascertained that many Bibles use the word 'know' but the intention is clear that they don't just want a chat."
The intention might be clear in your eyes.
To other people it's not clear.
That there is a big debate about what that verse means must surely mean that it cannot be clear.
"There's no way the same word would have meant two different things when used in such close proximity - that's very basic linguistics."
Well that's an argument you can take when discussing that verse and in all honesty it's a very reasonable argument to make.
My point is that the deliberate political editing of the Bible to kill that discussion and to give the impression to future readers that there is no basis for any discussion at all cannot be a good thing.
