    false. God is the author of the Bible in whatever translation--LXX, Aquila, Symmachus, Vulgate, KJB, The Message, LB, etc.

    false again. there's no translation without paraphrase. pseudotranslations incl Interlinears, glosses, n transliterations. check out the correct definition of "paraphrase" n compare w the popular/NONtechnical but pejorative usage (that i posted above).

    again, suggest reading that definition posted.

    all of the above which, of course, is not true.

    talk abt nonsense. o well. :rolleyes:

    whatever. [​IMG]
