not everyone who reads FR knows Latin and the faux surprise and astonishment that there are actually people out there who are not fluent in Latin is condescending at the very least, haughty and arrogant at the worst.

Well, thanks for sticking up for this unlettered and uncultured ignoramus who doesn't even understand Latin and I thought I was the only one. Do you mean there are others?

I pray and strive to understand the word of God in English.

The irony is that Scripture wasn’t written in Latin, it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.

Any Latin Bibles are merely translations of the original, just like English Bibles are, so Latin is nothing special as far as Christianity is concerned.

So someone knows Latin fluently? whoo hoo...... Latin is a dead language.

Color me not impressed.

Romans 1:18-20

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
