I guess you disagree with the facts. The Bible is the most published book by more than double the top ten books written by man in the last five hundred years.

But you bicker over a single word like a frustrated bitch.

It's right because that's exactly what happened.

But keep bickering because that's what you're good at.

You created the argument. And you're arguing against reality.

The gospel of Jesus Christ has been preached and published more that anything else on the planet, and to more people.

It is the McDonalds of literature: bland.

Does it matter that the preaching and or publication of said word be exactly the same to all nations or is the many different interpretations of meaning and original text, which changes the message and meaning considerably, ok?

Approximately 2 billion of the top 10 books written by man have been published in the last 500 years, but the Bible, all by itself, has been published nearly 5 billion times, and their are close to 4 billion in circulation today.

In the 13th chapter of Mark Jesus gives the outline of events that will transpire in the near and far.

Verse two refers to the destruction o ...[text shortened]... ng all nations.

Jesus is near. Wake up!

Mark 13:36
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

God is not joking .
Well neither is Santa Claus .
And he is coming to town .
And he knows if you have been bad or good .

I said "frustrated bitch" not "frustrated little bitch". I would never say you were little.

"...considering that the “publishing” of books as a concept didn’t even exist when the words were written."

Bitch nitpicking is all that is. Ever hear of what scribes do?

Don't you realize that back then they didn't have printing presses, Internet, radio, television or satellites.

The scribes were very precise, and made buttloads of copies. It was how God's Word was "published", and copies were expensive.

Nevertheless, there exists today more extant manuscripts of God's Word than for anything else by a far margin.

And the point of my OP still stands, notwithstanding your efforts to bitch nitpick over a word.
