, 17:33, April 5, 2017→Conservapedia's insights - or Andrew Schlafly's?: re
:::President Obama shared his insights with us using language, too. That doesn't make them "American Insights". Is here engaged conservapedian but Andrew Schlafly - perhaps one of the sysops - who supports these insights? I may have helped to erase some embarrassing obvious ''basic'' errors in the translations, but I cannot follow most of Andrew Schlafly's conclusions. Anyone?--[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 11:52, 4 April 2017 (EDT)

:::::I specifically agree with # 1, 2, and 7. Given what I know, I somewhat disagree with 4, 6, and 8. I don't know enough to agree or disagree with any certainty on the other points, and given my lack of significant multilingual skills, I could be wrong.
:::::To #4 I say: In English, this may seem like a small change, but a switch from possessive to adjective seems significant. I doubt every bible translator would have been mistaken on this.
:::::To #6: That seems rather like a stretch. The general meaning of actions over words is there, but I very much doubt the manuscripts had the equivalent of "liberal claptrap" on them.
::::: #8: With all of the checking and rechecking, it is difficult for portion to simply be inserted. Sure, scribal notes have been integrated, but that's different. Her sin was punishable by death, but it seems that Jesus was trying to use her as an example to show the radical change he was teaching. He was not in any way condoning adultery, but he was demonstrating that even the most grievous sin can be forgiven. Those who thought themselves righteous were shown to be in a worse place than her, because she was (presumably) repentant, while they were clearly not repentant of their sins. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 13:33, 5 April 2017 (EDT)
