Nope.
you want to try again?
I remember telling you that our use of the a word in English is not always the same as a word we translate from. so we have to go back to whatever the original word is to make sure we are using it correctly IF It Seems To Contradict Something Else Written!
THIS IS TRUE OF ALL TRANSLATED MATERAL! Not Just the Bible.
Example in the greek their are 5 words with 5 different meaning that we in the English translate as just the one word 'love.'
Each greek word describes a completely different aspect of our word love, yet when translated these differences are not communicated unless one knows context, region, and culture which again is not communicated in a simple literal translation (which most bibles are.)
That is why so many of you foolishly Think God loves everyone. When in truth God Agape' the world. Agape' is conditional, it's based on respect for God. but 'love' in the English is a 'feeling' that can change, but is forever, that has boundries, but at the same time is limitless.
So in short I did not question the bible. I question your reading of it. You read it and by cutting, pasting and assigning your definations to english words that are supposed to repersent koine greek make it say whatever you want. I question that.
yes like i said modern christianity at the very least is not correct because it does not follow the original greek christians do not investigate the original noone does that they just listen to their preacher who has it wrong because the book he learned from and his teachers are wrong its been a long long time since people went by the original greek translation . thats what corruption is
corruption: the process by which something, typically a word or expression, is changed from its original use or meaning to one that is regarded as erroneous or debased.
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
