That's pretty smart.
Wow, I stand corrected. Thanks, Fuzz.
Still, copyright has nothing to do with this, and as all sources indicate, the omitted verses are still included in footnotes.
Yeah Vulcan. I'm still not certain. I have studied text and music copyright . . . but the list of Bible versions and how they are copyrighted can make one's head spin. This is messy!
And there are groups that claim that having a copyright proves that these are man's words, not gods. That is also ridiculous. (Pretty sure copyright has nothing to do with content.)
And there are so many competing websites about Bible copyrights that someone would have to do a research study to pull the facts out of the propaganda.
