IF those (individual-chosen) words are SO important, and you assert that they most certainly are...

Right down to that 'jot and tittle', and you assert that they are...

Then, why did believers have to wait SO LONG?

Why would God make us wait 15 centuries with mere portions of NT Greek and Aramaic translations..
Later compiled {I presume} into complete Greek ones...
Then translated into Latin ones{which divurged one from another}...
Then into several imperfect English forms...
Then the 'PERFECT' English one...
Which THEN needed some re-tweeking...

SEVEN TIMES over?!?

Does Will, or anyone else have an article on this one?

"they were not part of the "purification process" at least according to the committee rules adopted for the AV translation. "

A man made committee decided (almost 1600 years after the fact) what to put into the Bible. My question is this: why didn't Jesus or the apostles create the Bible? They never put it all together, and they had all the letters and old scriptures to teach from too. ?? To spread the Word of God over the world and none of them thought to collect Jesus's teachings in a volume? Seems odd to me. Which is why I search for answers and stumpled on this site.

Very good reading and I have learned a bit.
