:::I'm not reading translations, sir, I am reading Greek.  In Greek, "paidion," or "child" is neuter.  In other words, the Bible, God's Holy Word in its original form, does call a child "it."  You have no knowledge of the scriptures, or the power therein!  You are an eisegete, and a heretic, and you ought to keep your mouth shut on matters of which you have no knowledge![[User:VoxLutheri|VoxLutheri]] 20:59, 7 October 2009 (EDT)

Sorry, I'm confused. If there are inconsistencies between the Bible and conservative doctrine, and if it is important for the two to be in harmony, shouldn't it be the doctrine that gets revised, not the Bible? Altering religious texts in furtherance of political goals (rather than merely updating archaic language) is kind of disturbing. Of course, this has happened many times over the history of the Bible, but it's still disturbing.
