If you had done your homework, you would not need to ask. There are at least three (Alexandrian, Antiochene, and Western), and if you include languages other than Greek and Hebrew but which are technically "lines of manuscripts", there are several others (Coptic, for example).

Which you claim to have, without any sound basis, and against demonstrated evidence. No, that's your thing.

As there are not only two "lines of Bibles", you have no point.

That's a perfect example of KJV-only arrogance. The point is perfectly clear in the NIV, and perfectly obscured in the KJV. The problem is archaic language, not a lack of faith. It is IMPOSSIBLE to exercise faith on a matter that one doesn't understand where the lack of understanding is entirely...

I agree with the second part of your statement (who and why) but not the first (which science studies). Science cannot study how the world was created or how long it took; these things are beyond investigating with scientific methods.

It means take the literal tenth of your literal crops and eat them before the Lord. The context tells us this is to be an annual event. While there may be a “spiritual” meaning to this or any passage, it sits on top of the plain literal meaning and does not replace it or supersede it. You...

Simply not true, because translation is not an exact science. While certain words may, phrases and sentences in one language don’t necessarily have exact one-to-one correspondence in other languages.

Not necessarily.

I have. You have ignored my explanations.

I believe that God is capable of seeing what we will do; that's different from determining what we will do.

Noted. Thanks for making it clear that we shouldn’t trust you. ;)

In short, yes. I believe that God is capable at least of foreseeing our entire lives… both the wise and the unwise choices, and everything between.

Again you misinterpret Scripture. I have a completely clear conscience with regard to calling your view "misinterpretation" and "not truth". God doesn't intend us to listen to uneducated drivel from people who don't understand His truth but instead misrepresent it and Him. He tells us to "make a...

I believe that God's foresight and foreknowledge supersede human stupidity. ;)

Yes, God knows when we will die. “All the days ordained for us were written before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:16

Not if the first 7 weeks were relevant for a specific event or process.

However, he did oversee the reconstruction of Jerusalem “in troubled times”.
