I am totally ok with empiricism and the authority of science unchallenged by religion Norfolk. Do you have a problem with that? Do you think I should be dissmissing science in favour of religion??
I agree that translations introduce many errors, and we seek to get to the precise meaning of the original text. Quite a hard task also given the cultural references of the time, that are mostly lost on a modern audience.
Are you seriously suggesting that only you know this secret about what Jesus said there? What I a calling racist is your natural native slant towards your own culture trumping everyone else's. Maybe racist is too strong a word, but you get my point.
