This is one example of the Biblical text being altered by man, yet today, many so-called "fundamentalists" want to use every word in the book to degrade folks like me. Yes, times have changed but the "one way or else hell" mentality hasn't!

reminds me of the joke about the priest who dies, and upon entering heaven, rushes immediately to the 'official' bible kept upstairs.
scanning pages feverishly, at last he finds the word he was looking for.'' ah ha, he shouts in anger, it was originally celebrate!!
