I never once mentioned that bible what game are you playing?
I believe that it doesn't matter what I say you will just try to to turn my own words against me, I believe in the word of God period logos and Rhenme but you are not interested in that you are just interested in trolling as far as I can see
I’m not interested in your stupid bait questions.
I disagree with you blatantly lying about what Blain said.I disagree with your assertion that the Satanic Bible is the Word of God.
Blain did not assert that the Satanic Bible was the Word of God no matter how many times you lie about it.

Re: Do You Believe God's Word is infallible?
There are numerous English versions of the Bible in our day. They can't
possibly all be spot-on. So when someone asks "Do you believe the Bible is
infallible?" we should ask: Which version?
New Christians are often curious why there are so many English versions of
the Bible. Well, the thing is: the Bible was originally penned in Hebrew,
Aramaic, and koiné Greek. I seriously doubt that there is even one Bible
among the many English versions available in our day that can said to be
infallible because it is virtually impossible to move thoughts from one
language into another verbatim.
And then there is also the problem of ambiguity. Quite a few of the ancient
words have more than one meaning. Translators do their best to select an
appropriate thought, but must admit that sometimes they are taking an
educated guess.
Another problem faced by translators is the lack of sufficient text. It's
interesting to note in an interlinear how many and how often that words are
edited into English versions to fill them out. Now those fills of course can't be
assured infallible.
A lexicon of the words in the Bible giving their meanings in the original
languages is a big help sometimes although lexicons don't take into account
grammatical rules, viz: lexicons have their uses, but they aren't meant to be
substitutes for an education-- and I haven't even touched on punctuation;
which is a really big problem in itself because none that are placed in English
translations came from the manuscripts. Their selection, and their
placement, is entirely arbitrary; and possibly even biased.

The Satanic Bible is not a translation of the revealed written Word of God, which is what was being referred to.
Blain is the one who said ""no matter the translation".
No matter how hard you try to slander Blain, he did not assert that the Satanic Bible is the Word of God.
First "widespread" isn't first. Your original statement about the original isn't original.
