Line 52: − + − + − − : I've responded at [[User talk:Thunkful]], but note that we reject [[credential bullying]]. We welcome people who learn Greek independently as adults as well as those who studied it in liberal schools. How much schooling do you think Jesus had?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 15:29, 19 June 2010 (EDT)

If they Lord gave us passages which have studied ambiguity, who are we to change that? Greek is to theology as math is to science. Now don't tell me that concepts which are only vaguely expressed in math can be made crystal clear in English.

My colleague, you are in the process of producing a product which is not a translation at all, and which will bring Conservapedia into ridicule. Students of Greek will disparage the product as the product of uneducated hybris. The only service you can do to readers is to enable them to read God's word accurately. Of course you could do them a service by giving them something to roll on the floor laughing at, including the entire Conservapedia. But I don't think you want to do that.

I am concerned about a distortion of God's word and also sincerely about your stance regarding translation.

If you are a born-again Christian and know the Lord Jesus as your only and sufficient Savior (no works), then please give my comments prayerful consideration.([[User:Thunkful|Thunkful]] 15:19, 19 June 2010 (EDT))
