you have still not produced a single reason why the verse should be translated as it is, when you can or do let me know.
Centuries of translations all say the same thing that is until you come along.
If you don't see that as a reason....well what can I say.

I repeat, citing translations is not stating any kind of reason why a verse is translated in the way that it is, for all you are doing is comparing renderings, not actually looking at the base text to see if they are accurately rendered. If you cannot understand the difference then i very much doubt you will be able to explain why its translated in the way that it is, in fact, if i am brutally honest, i dont think you have any way of knowing what an accurate translation is and what is not otherwise you would have said something relevant by now.

I'm sorry but think about what you are suggesting!
For centuries, people some of which have devoted their lives to getting
translations correct have all been saying the same thing and you disagree,
so when I point this out to you, you are now accusing me of ad hominem?
Seriously, many of those translations were created not by a single person,
but several different groups got together so that none of them could slip in
their "specific" translations to avoid the very thing you are accusing
everyone for centuries of doing!

actually believe it or not the thoughts are the product of my own mind, after all, I can read and write and understand Greek, enough that i know when tenses are being tampered with, additions are being made and grammatical English is being ignored, therefore you will need to actually address the actual content of the post and points that i made, unus ...[text shortened]... to others making me wonder how many of those 'tons of books', you have actually read yourself.

from your own way of thinking not some link or web site everyone could
review. Which was why I have been pointing out to you that it’s you against
all of the other translators throughout all time.
