No scholarship I have ever read asserts those things.
The translations are as accurate as they can be, but the contextual reference still needs to be applied. Obviously the skeptics bible are making a living from the confusion that we must overcome to understand an ancient culture.
Scholars are engaged in exactly this. Translations have to be continually adapted to be understood against an ever changing modern context.

You rang, m'lady?
No the babies were guilty sinners. God knew this.You cannot.
No matter how many times we all tell the OP that he hasn't committed the unforgivable sin, I get the impression he's going to keep on thinking it
My personal opinion of him is that he's blinkered. There's nothing quite like confirming your bias, that's why he's here.
