>BUT ENGLISH DOES HAVE COMMAS!!!

Response: So, what we want is the apostles intent, not the translators.

When you translate The
>Greek Scriptures into English, you do so using the English
>laws of grammar!

Response: English grammer does not change Greek grammer, if Paul meant to say that Jesus was our great God and Savior then that is the way that it should be translated.

Based on that comment, are you saying that
>EVERYWHERE THERE IS A COMMA IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, the comma
>should be taken out because the NT was originally written in
>Greek?

Response: No, I am saying don't hold your theology on something that is not in the text to begin with but inserted later.

No, that would be stupid. Like I said before,
>SELECTIVE TRANSLATING WITH A TRINITARIAN BIAS.

Response: Get real, english grammer does not override Greek grammer, that comma is there in your NWT based off of their theology not being honest with the text.
