Dear Frank,
Really? They changed Leviticus? Interesting thought.... What about Passover? Did they change it too? And everyone who had a copy of the Scriptures went along with these changes? Why is this not common knowledge among biblical scholars then?
I have a hard time with things like this because God's way of ensuring that we have an accurate copy of His word is by just that, copying! You cannot change all of the copies everywhere at the same time so there would be major discrepancies if someone along the line took the liberty of changing things, especially such extensive changes as suggested. It would be found out and stamped out, one would expect.
If the Bible has errors, such egregious errors, then we are all in jeopardy as how can we KNOW that John 3:16 is real then?
It's a slippery slope, proclaiming that the Bible is wrong and our ideologies are right. I'll be content to put the onus on myself, that His Word is true and I am the one who does not understand His reason for the way He has done things. I do find it amazing that He puts up with us with such patience and mercy! ;-)
Amazing Grace, hardly says it all.
God Bless,
Elaine
