No one has claimed the translators are divinely inspired. Who told you that?

Wow, nice ad hominem attack. What authority do you have to cast stones?

If we're going to carry a respectable conversation here about very important matters, then I would ask you at least be mature about it and not throw around baseless claims that attack people's character.


Your character wasn't under attack. This is so typical. When a christian's beliefs are questioned, the challenger often gets unjustly chastised. It seems that the present U.S. government works that way too.

In regards to my post:

If the translators of biblical scripture can't get right what was originally written, then what motive would anyone have to believe it hook, line and sinker?
