Hi Folks,

Thank you Luke for your excellent additional sharing. That is one element I love about the Bible versions discussions, the skeptics and correctors and cornfuseniks, with their challenges, impel us to look more closely at the word of God, which often brings forth greater insight and understanding.

FSSL, the fallacy is 100% yours, since I never claimed that they were perfect men. There is a fancy Latin name for the fallacy "putting words in the mouth of somebody that he never spoke", we can call it straw man.

The King James Bible translators were men uniquely skilled at a perfect time with a refined and pure source text to help give us a perfect Bible.

All I did was share with you a bit about their unique skills, as well as what we have seen on the skill level of bible-correctors doing bible-corrections.

You should consider what I shared instead of jumping to contusions.
