   And what makes your interpretation accurate in translation?  I see you
   expounding your version, but, don't see any evidence of your credentials.
   I accept the intrepretation of the majority scholars if you don't mind.

   And what school of Rabbinical knowledge taught you how to translate the
   the NT Scriptures.  Did you know that tour guides in Israel use an English
   translation of the Bible?  They and most scholars in Israel prefer the 
   King James Version because it is the closest to the EXACT meaning of the
   Hebrew.  Those who have studient Greek also prefer the KJV for the same
   version.  Most errors in exegesis have been influence by people that -

      1.)  Use a corrupt Greek test.
      2.)  The application of faulty principles of textual criticism.
      3.)  Dependence on modern Greek and NOT Koine Greek.

  The Berean call was to 'search' the Scriptures daily NOT correct them.
