Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.

Quote:Yes, equal in accuracy, the Amplified however is written in modern language which is easier for some to understand. It also amplifies by including definitions of words.
Ok, in the KJV, there is one verse that bothering me:
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being <b>(AS WAS SUPPOSED) </b>the son of Joseph… Luke 3:23
You can read the same verse in the Amplified Bible but<b> the brackets were removed</b>, indicating that the words in brackets are actually <b>INSPIRED</b>, however, the KJV is telling us that the words "<i>as was supposed</i>" are not actually to be found in the original text, and therefore they put it into brackets. (BTW, in the Catholic version, the words "<i>as was supposed</i>" are also in between brackets).
My question is, which Bible is more accurate in this verse? Because if the words do not exist in the original text (as in the case of the KJV and CV) then the whole meaning will change.
Quote:But since we know denominations are man made and therefore flawed, they are wrong.
Your <i>denomination</i> is called <b>Non Denominational</b>; you know well that not all Non denominational Churches agree with each other.
Quote:Alright, the comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, did indeed come after Jesus' assent into Heaven, but look at "how" it came:
This is very funny, you are interpreting the word "comforter" by adding <b>WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST </b>in the same fashion that the Bible did..."<b>But the comforter, WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST </b>whom the father will send in my name... John 14:26
We don't need to be Bible scholars to sense that the words "<b>which is the Holy Ghost</b>" is only interpolation which is supposed to be in brackets as in the case of (as was supposed) in Luke 3:23, if the word comforter was actually meant to be the Holy Ghost, there will be no need at all for this addition "which is the Holy Ghost".
