You already said this in your original post, John. No, there is no need for me to rethink my response. You just do not seem to understand, that if there is no punctuation in the Greek, and you add punctuation to make the text say something other than how it reads in the Greek (btw, Greek has endings of words which act in ways that punctuation does for English), then you have NOT quoted the text verbatim. In other words, it is NOT "an exact quotation -- at least as much so as a translation can be." Either you do not understand Greek and translating Greek as well as you have represented yourself, or you are being dishonest, or you are just plain stupid. Since we don't allow ad hominem remarks here, I'm not taking a position on this, but you really should rethink your response (IMHO). Peace be with you.
