In response to John Sisson’s letter
To the editor:
I read the article by John Sisson in the Jan. 25 Democrat. It seems he thinks he has found something that none of us ever knew, so we are all misguided and ignorant of the truth.
First of all, a “Teaching Torah” is only the opinion of a certain group of rabbis and not the actual Word of God. It is like going to churches in Brown County. In some you will find the Revised Standard Bible, in others the New King James. The list goes on in the version each church uses, but each calls theirs the Word of God.
For instance, other versions are the New American Standard, The English Standard, New International Version, the New Catholic Bible, Contemporary English Bible, The Living Bible, and the Authorized King James Bible 1611 A.D. All these versions disagree in so many places it is not funny. So, these golden nuggets that Mr. Sisson has found are only lumps of coal.
I’m not worried about the past flood of destruction, but the one Jesus talked about in Matthew 24:37-39: “But as the days of Noe were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” King James Bible.
