If you think the Trinity isn't in the Bible, you haven't read the Bible.

>Christianity predates the Bible

In the sense that Adam and Eve were Christians, sure. But if you're suggesting the Bible was created by the Church, your own councils disagree with you. Vatican I explicitly condemns what you're trying to say. The Church is a witness to something that already existed, nothing more.

>Additionally, the original KJV includes the deuterocanon

I know, mine does too. It has books that the Council of Trent removed, like 3 Esdras. Why would the Pope remove books from the Bible?

>My point stands that KJVOnlyism is a subset of Sola Scriptura

They literally aren't the same thing. They're two completely unrelated claims. I'm also not a strict KJVO in the way someone like Steven Anderson, but it's undoubtedly the most important English version, for more reasons than you can count on one hand.

I make it a point not to argue sola scriptura. Not because it's wrong, understood properly, but because people on both sides refuse to understand it properly, so it's a useless hill to die on.

>The Latin never changes

Buy a critical edition. It does. You have old Latin, and tons of variation within the Latin tradition, often referred to as the Western text type. It's actually famous for being the most inaccurate text family that gets any serious consideration.

In current day, Latin editions have the exact same problems as modern Greek critical texts. Though an Old Vulgate only position will get you better results than following modern text critics, due to the nature of what a translation is, it's inherently inferior to my position. Eastern Orthodox have it better, they have their own version of a Greek Received Text that's different from ours, although on internal analysis, it doesn't hold up as well. Romans has a false ending after chapter 14, for example. It's also missing the Comma.

>that full translation predates the Canon

Roman Catholics really need to read the studies of Roger Beckwith. This idea is disproven. The Old Testament canon was decided 200 years before Christ was born. The fact that later Christians (and some jews) were misinformed and got it wrong does nothing to disprove this. Although most of the early Fathers actually do agree that the canon is only 22 books (by the Hebrew numbering) so no matter how you look at it, the Roman Catholic theory of canon doesn't hold up. Nevermind the blatant historical errors in the books.

>Original manuscripts of Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew are not always available, so when they aren't we always have the Latin.

The Latin is better than nothing, but once printed editions become a relatively affordable thing, there's no reason to use it as a primary source anymore. It has a lot of problems.

>"biblical study" is not Christianity

It's literally the word of God. It doesn't encompass the entirety of the Christian life, but you can't have orthodoxy without it.

It’s not a Protestant issue. Roman Catholic Bibles are even more reliant on modern psudeo-scholarship than Protestant ones.

The Jerome Bible commentary, which is magisterially approved under Pope Francis, is in the news right now for advocating homosexual relationships and denying the authentic authorship of many books of Scripture.

The vast majority of work on legitimate printed editions of the Greek New Testament happened in Geneva. Theodore Beza was the successor of John Calvin. Robert Stephanus was driven out of Paris by Roman Catholics who hated the original version of the Bible.

Rome has basically zero pedigree in Biblical preservation, the only notable exception being the preservation of the Comma Johanneum in the Latin manuscripts, whereas it was lost very early in the Greek transmission.

King James Onlyism makes a lot more sense once you learn the history of Protestant Text Criticism.

The KJV examined every edition printed in Western Europe and synthesized them into one coherent work in English, then Scrivener came along and applied that same scholarly effort to the original Greek.

The pairing of Scrivener and the King James Bible are the canonical endpoint of all orthodox Christian scholarship. Everything after that is a deliberate attempt to commercialize. You have to get the latest Bible (which is copyrighted) every few years or you’ll never know what the Apostles *really* said. Majority Text advocates are just as guilty, they buy into most of the same presuppositions as the eclecticists.

That’s not how it works. There was one Bible that emerged for one Church in the wake of the printing press. The King James Bible is the inherited Bible.

What’s the problem?

Better than cheaters and war criminals

Good morning, everyone! 😄✌️

I would imagine so lol

It was me. Doc is at the children’s hospital. I’m all good for another year. Thanks for the well wishes.

moved back "from"...

I think adult hospitals could take notes from children’s hospitals about ambiance and distraction techniques.

GAME OVER

I'm sorry, but your character's journey has come to an end. The battle against the high-ranking member of The Shadow Syndicate proves to be too formidable. Despite your skills and the support of the Resistance, you are unable to overcome their strength and cunning.

As you engage in a fierce battle, the high-ranking member's superior combat abilities and strategic maneuvers overpower you. Despite your valiant efforts, you are ultimately defeated, unable to rescue Amelia Sinclair and dismantle The Shadow Syndicate.

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, and the city of Eldoria will continue to suffer under the influence of The Shadow Syndicate. Your character's journey ends here, but the fight against injustice and corruption will live on.

So far, it's lovely. Also very clean.

I'd love to. I'll make it back there again someday.

Every friend I've told that I'm in Rwanda have said it's the last place they'd think of visiting.

Well, there isn't a place I don't want to visit.

Perhaps, if one does think of visiting Rwanda it probably means they've already seen much of the world and visited all the places that are high on most people's wishlist.

There's ones with ads?
