Can you explain to me the different linage set forth between David and Joseph (step dad of Jesus) in Mathew 1 and Luke 22 and after you get through with that irreconcilable error, would you explain why that is relevant to anything since I’m sure you will agree God was the father of Jesus.Josephs linage is a joke. Or do you think not? If Failure to worship the Bible and Mary is a sin can I ask you— are we not forgiven of our sin ? Did Jesus not atone for our sin through propitiation on the Cross. Or did Jesus die for nothing? Do we not have imputed righteousness for our sorry souls as set forth clearly and unambiguously in Romans and Galatians? Is the Bible wrong?

It appears the Old Testament should be read in Hebrew and Greek and the New Testanent should be read in NT Greek..
To learn greek, latin and some hebrew is to really learn what the messseges were because especially greek is a much more exact language than english. For example in english the Pharisees called Jesus ``drinking``
-The NT greek word actually means an `excessive drinker`-
So a lot is lost in translation-
Also there is often a play on words in the greek and aramaic in the NT. For example when Jesus says `I am the light of the world`, there is a play on words from the greek and the aramaic viz:
Pharos is the term for lighthouse- the greatest light in the world at that time was the lighthouse at Alexandria whose light could be seen on the horizon. But the sound `pharo` means
pharoah means `king` in greek- So what is Jesus telling His listeners here?

How we should read the Bible: In our native tongues, translated from the Textus Receptus. Any mysteries will be revealed as God wills.
By what power? If it isn't by the power of the Holy Spirit, what the church says is just garbage.
Therefore, it is NOT the church that tells us what is scripture, but God Himself.
Seems the church is suffering a bit from the sin of pride.
Thank you for posting this excellent article.
The Church should combat widespread "Biblical illiteracy" among the Catholic faithful, Archbishop Eterovic said.

According to a study released in September by Baylor University’s Institute for Studies of Religion, evangelical Protestants are a whopping eight times more likely than Catholics to read the Bible on a weekly basis....we tip our hats to our separated brothers and sisters in Christ for their zeal for the Word of God.

Translation: unlike those mouth breathing, nose picking trailer trash who are an embarrassment to the entire chr*stian world, the hyper-intellectual Eastern Orthodox know that the Bible can't be interpreted in any way that disturbs the uniformity of nature . . . except when it comes to those "new testament miracles."
