Dilgent, you may be right that updating in the last century has all been corrupt, but that doesn't change the need for updating. It's just been done by the wrong people. It shouldn't be done by self-appointed people and publishers. You may also be right that this corruption won't change. For one thing there probably isn't time before the Lord returns. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to change it so that we can have an uncorrupted updated Bible.
The word God has magnified above His own name is His Bible, Diligent, His inspired message to us, incarnate in His own Son, it's not every individual word. That in itself is a misreading of God's word.
Yeah, I'm a "humanist" though I spend most of my life fighting humanism and all kinds of intellectual mistreatments of the things of God. I guess I had to come to this site to learn just how far words can be misused even by people who start out pointed in the right direction.
The problem is that for all the good you guys do here, and you do a lot of good and I'm grateful for it, you commit sophistry yourselves and don't even recognize it.
