    Just so you know: There is not a single edit you could make to Scripture to improve it. Anything you would do to amend so much as a biblical comma would drastically demote it. You can’t improve the Word of God. You’d only ruin perfection. Keep your edits on the shelf.

        What's a biblical comma?

        Amen, I share Scriptures via daily text with about 12 godly men. I almost never share my thoughts on the passage. I’d rather the Word of God speak to them. Like you said, my words add nothing.

        Did you know that Hebrew and Greek didn’t have punctuation or spaces when the books that became the Bible were written? And that Hebrew didn’t have vowels (they were added later), so the words could actually mean something quite different?

        Everyone’s adding commas! There weren’t any originally.

        The point is moot, there is no way to edit anything that we don't have the original documents of. Or do you mean editting one of the oldest papyrii?? I mean, we literally translate this stuff to english, we HAVE to add to it and edit it so that it makes sense today. Moot.

        Translating isn’t exactly editing. When he says editing, he means the people who try to remove and add passages, change whole words and phrases and things that would completely change the meaning. Like the Passion or Message “translations”. They’re edits, not translations

        Question: does this mean - burn this statement & make like you never tweeted it?
