Apparently there’s soon going to be a Conservative Bible (done by amateur “translators” with ground axes) that will, among other things, excise the words “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34) as being an interpolation from some “liberal” scribe a couple of millennia ago. (Of course then the King James Version is corrupt as well, for it also contains the “spurious” passage.)

One wonders what will become of Jesus’ other admonitions to forgive. Will it be only “seven times” instead of “seventy times seven” (Matt. 18:22)? Or maybe we won’t need to forgive at all now - especially not debts?

The “conservative movement” has now gone so far off the rails that soi-disant “Christians” are rewriting scripture. There used to be a name for this kind of thing. Two names, actually. Heresy and blasphemy.
