STAFF NOTE: As we all know, there are widely accepted Bible versions; but there are also some Bible versions that have been manipulated and changed out of bias and agenda, that are not widely accepted. We simply have to do an internet Search to determine which versions have been evaluated by Biblical scholars over the years and which versions may have translation or other issues. When we discuss scripture, and differences in concepts are brought forth based upon Bible version differences, those differences can and do initiate arguments. All the Staff at CFS asks is that before anyone posts in this type of doctrinal discussion, to look at the Bible version differences that are presented by members, research the reason that the differences may be present and come to a common understanding without arguing. Please remember that as of September 2018, there were an estimated 33,000+ Christian denominations - each with variations in teaching and understanding as compared to all others. We must ALL be tolerant of the belief systems of all fellow Christians and we must follow CFS Rules when we post. Please refer to Rules 2.1, 3.1, 3.2b, and 3,2c .
Thank you - and please continue with this thread as you wish, remembering that we all have difference of opinion that are based upon our own personal belief systems, as well as slight differences in worldwide regional English language usage. However, the staff reserves the right to end this or any other forum discussion at any time, if the friendly atmosphere at CFS is challenged.
