Please note that I was not using an exact quote, loganrbt. If I had been, I would have used quotes and cited the passage. and, just in case you are unaware of it, his words were written down differently in Matthew, Mark, and Luke -- ya know, cause they were like 3 different dudes?;-)
Yours in scriptural rectitude,

Distortion of the text is distortion whether the distorted text is placed in quotation marks or not. I expect far better defense than that from you, sir!
Please do not mistake my correcting you as being meant as defense, loganrbt. And let us leave your strawman to other endeavors, shall we?;-)
By the way, in considering some of the more defensive responses I have seen in this thread, it occurs to me that some folks seem to feel a threat to their perceived sense of moral superiority.;-)
Yours,
Issodhos
