If you were interested PK, I would suggest you give some time to textural criticism. As you've not, believe me or not, there are distinct lines of texts. Granted, most come through Rome, and most bibles in print(meaning versions) today do owe their existent to the Alexandrain/Romanish texts.

However, there is a distinct line of Greek texts. Besides the scripture, the Lord made promises to lead the willing into all truth.

I've always found that the truth is somewhere around the edges of what the victors would have you believe Mick. And it really pisses me off that Christians are blamed for the Church's endless crimes against humanity, including killing the Lord's peaceable followers during the past 1500 years plus.

Know them by their fruits: has the Church or the our alleged Cowboy Christian President had a single word to say in behalf of those Indian Christians that were burned out of their homes. I'm still waiting.

Hope y'all had a nice Ishtar Day yesterday. It existed millennia before Jesus took on flesh. Meaning it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, his crucifixion, his resurrection or anything else Christian. Which should be abundantly evident to everyone of you who participated while not being a Christian(as it's purported to be a Church Holy Day).

We surely are funny critters, including me by most counts, lol.-)

peaceably
