Posted by: moon at August 11, 2006 02:16 PM | PERMALINKThe whole thing is kind of puzzling. On the way home I listened to a fire and brimstone radio preacher for awhile, and he preached against contemporary english. He said that not only should we not try to interpret the bible, but that we should not change the words at all either. [snark]Hopefully, he is studying his dead languages.[/snark]
