For example, the "our" may be the English "royal we," a singular meaning with a plural pronoun. As when Queen Victoria said, "We are not amused," meaning "I am not amused."

First, wikipedia has all the qualifications to be a reliable source of information as a conspiracy theorist. I'd get more reliable material from twitter. (joking)
Second, you just made my point for me in another area. People are basing their lives on a book written by a group of people who didn't speak the original language. Plus, it was written hundreds of years after the last supposed apostle died. Be this as it may, there is a popular mem out right now that has alot of truth to it. "My favorite part of the Bible is when Jesus talks to god alone and someone who wasn't there is writing about it". lmao, I thought, "Even I didn't catch one in my studies.
Actually, the Bible WAS written by people who spoke the original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek). Also, the writings that were assembled into the Bible were not written hundreds of years after the last apostle died.
You’re giving atheists a bad name.
