The books are laid out different. You stated so yourself. I see Dr. Marx
opinion and IDEA and FACTS. You seem to fail to see his. If I was to take a
set of books and re-order them and give to you, you would be confused. If I
was to take "Gone with the Wind" and re-order the chapters, I would imagine
that you would be confused. So would a Jewish person when looking at our
Bible.

I like the attitude that the KJV is the best. Its "OK", I would rather spend
my time reading the Old Testament in Hebrew, "THAT" is the language that it
was written in. Since I cannot read "HEBREW", I settle for the inferior
bibles, KJV, NKJV, AS, RAS, NIV. I go to the Hebrew lexicon often though. I
am surprised that what I might think a word means, is not always what it
means in Hebrew.

He is quoting facts that you seem unable to accept. You need to look at what
he is saying and accept the fact that "WE" have change the Jewish Tanakh. It
would be so nice to see people getting off the attack mode and discussing
with level heads facts.

If someone could prove Dr. Marx wrong, I believe that he would admit it. I
may be wrong. I have seen him respond to blatant attacks with kindness. I
have not read any of his posts where he has put someone's beliefs down. I
may be wrong, though I doubt it.

I will say it again, "IF YOU HAVE ALL TRUTH, GO WALK ON WATER, THAT WILL
BRING YOU DOWN TO EARTH". Until then, give people the room to believe what
they believe. You just might learn something.
