:You make reasonable but merit-less points:
::Liberal additions which are not in the original manuscripts and which lack logical scrutiny should be removed. This is like removing gook from the Sistine Chapel. Who would insist that the obscuring additions remain? In the case of Luke, he was not an eyewitness and the later-added phrase about forgiving his tormentors contradicts with what we know he did say on the Cross.
::It's absurd to think the Bible is neutral on political questions. Do you also think the Bible is neutral on the issue of abortion? Of course not.
::Modern translations do not make any claim of special authority. I don't think old translations did either. Perhaps the [[KJV]] is based on the authority of the King of England, but the American Revolution decided against that basis of authority. We hope, of course, that the [[Holy Spirit]] will guide the public in this translation. And, by the way, the Holy Spirit is more likely to guide public translators than a group of liberal college professors. The Bible itself, after all, was written by the public.
Thanks for your comments and I hope you can reconsider your decision to turn your back on this earnest effort to extract and circulate the original intent of the Bible.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 12:26, 4 December 2009 (EST)
