Did God

[Pastor Matt]

Telling someone they need to act courtly is not the same as calling them a name. I never called Mr. Jerry a derogatory name nor did I comment on his intelligence or lack thereof.

You are treating him the same way you claim he is treating you, kind of hard to complain about it when you are doing it yourself. Lets stick to the topic and stop complaining.

I brought this up in the simple or complex thread, but I would like to find out peoples answers to this question.

Did God preserve His word in the form/words He wanted us to have it?
If He did not, why not?

All Scripture is divinely inspired.

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16)

I did not call you a name either - I stated this: You are simply showing ignorance. That means you spoke without knowledge.

You see Jerry this is just what I meant that leaving baptizo and baptizein untranslated opened. I like what Luther did with it he translated the doopen. Which is just exactly what I like to do with day old donuts as depicted in your signature.

You lost me there. Regardless of whether you think the word should have been translated as something else or not - it is not an error, and just like any other archaic word, we just need to teach others what it actually means.
