You claimed that Quirinius was a procurator, Waldork. He was not. I see that as an a typical example of your shoddy excuse for scholarship. I just want you to know that I will pounce on your sorry fucking jesus-loving ass for every fuckup you make.

Personally I tend to think that the numerical differences are more likely due to copying errors which have no effect on doctrine. But in this case, you don't even have a solid numerical difference due to the time factor.
You are out of your fucking mind, Johnny. I understand the desperation but when even the bible thumping translators cross-reference these two passages you clearly have your head way up your ass.
