What I find funny is those who think and beleive it is all gods exact wording VERBATIM no matter what version of the Christian bible
or branch of christianity they beleive in.

People need ta educate themselves just a little in how bibles have been modified by MAN over 1000,s of years I venture to say....


Many struggle with just the English language and then with a myriad of English versions of Bible (approx 56) ...
what chance do they ever have of understanding what was lost in translation from Hebrew and Greek to English....?

the norsemen when establishing their distant trading routes found that Christians would refuse to do business/trade with such Pagans.

So the savvy Norse pretended to be christians in order to be able to conduct business, but still largely continued on with their Paganism.
