Do you not see that everything you say about the Greek text denies the foundation of your precious KJV? Or whichever translation you use. It is a higher-critical view that denies that authority of scripture. It is like saying "I like steak, but we have no need for cows." It only proves your ignorance of how the text was maintained, collated, distributed, and translated.
It contradicts your need for proof-texting. Proof-texting is irrelevant if you do not respect the text.
You Bible-only folks will not own up to your own presuppositions when reading the text. You enter scripture with a grid already in place, and that is what you see. So it doesn't matter what language - you only see what you want to see, and pull together verses for that purpose. Congratulations. The Talmudists do that too, twisting scripture since before Christ even walked the earth. Fun crowd.
Did our hero address his own "argument?" Nope. Just, "well, you see, uh, urr,........" with no scripture-NADA. Zip.
Chapter, verse, for this satanic "original manuscripts only-ism."
Scripture always refers to copies. Of course, the fact that that the doctrine of the preservation of the scriptures, would be quite superfluous, and the LORD God would be a moron, if "original manuscripts only-ism" were true, does not even enter the mind of bible agnostics/correctors/mystics.
Tell us, Al-how would you know if you had these "original manuscripts," even if they were allegedly dropped in your lap?
Straight jacket time...brain spill, aisle 2....

Identify this "the Greek text." Does it have a name?
"that denies that authority of

Catch that, TOL? He refers to this desert mirage, mystical, "scripture," w/o idenitifying it.
Identify this "is(not was) given by inspiration" scripture, that the LORD God promised to preserve, that is "true from the begining," sure, true, sound, pure, right......Does it have a name? Were can we get a copy? I picked up a copy of this scripture, at Walmart, for $4.99.

You:
Grass does not exist, but prove to me that it is green.
Only a moron, fool, what attempt to engage in such folly.
Made up. I have in my hands, the "is(not was) given by inspiration" scripture, that the LORD God promised to preserve, that is "true from the begining," sure, true, sound, pure, right, that I can hold in my hands, and press to my heart, and believe(not correct) every word.
You apparently do not, as the overpowering elements of the wind, rain, sun, heat, cold....overcame the LORD God, and He lost His masterpiece, according to you.
"Or whichever translation you use."-Al
I believe every word of the scripture, which I have identified as the KJB, for English speaking people.
In contrast, you "use" a mystical "scripture," much like a car manual, or "Domino's" menu, not believing every word of it, correcting it, if it does not agree with your presupposed "doctrine."
Contrasts.
What a brilliant post, by the humble saint John W., as usual.
