Greetings! Isn't this a cute picture? I don't know who snapped this but they deserve all the credit for making me smile today!
This morning in our Bible Study we were reading in Luke 17:30-37. The narrative said that verse 36 was usually left out of most versions. You know me... that statement tempts my curiousity and I headed straight after my Bible that has multiple versions side by side. Sure enough no verse 36. The verse reads in the King James version "Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left." What is the big deal? The narrative says "It is not well enough attested to be original. Further, it is an assimilation to the parallel in Matt 24:40, which marks the addition as secondary. Omitting the verse number, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations." But then we got to looking at verse 34. Ooooh Woooo! If you go back to the King James versions that puts a tail spin on things. King James version says "I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left." The other versions say something like two people in one bed or two people in one room. Now doesn't that just stir up a hornet's nest!?!
There is room for all of us in Heaven and God forgives!
