    First of all, though Ancient Greek language was fairly advanced, I'd say that modern language (especially in a polyglot language like English) is bound to be more technically developed due to time and influences. I think this statement disregards, or at least fails to account for, this idea.

    It also seems like a cover for people to rewrite the Bible from the original Greek to make it more suitable. ("Well... if they spoke modern English... they woulda said it like this..." Well, I'm glad you have enough self-esteem to redo the Bible... that must feel good.) :)

    • Agree. It's like saying the Bible says things it doesn't even have the ability to say.

    • I can't understand how someone would believe the Bible is the word of God, and then correct his grammar! That takes some nerve...
