      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            Just pointing out that "shows up in" is not the same as "comes from".


            Also worth noting that modern translations may use phrasing that wouldn't be present in the original manuscripts.

              If somebody only had The Message and actually thought it was a close transcription, they would think there were a lot of modern day idioms in there.
              "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                Yeah, cause the part in the Bible that talks about a house divided actually came from Abraham Lincoln!
