James totally misses what was said, and goes into the fairy-tale of "changes
in the text" (if he knew what went into the copying of the texts he would
know this to be false).

But people do read the *same* texts, and get entirely different messages
from them. Most can explain their interpretations in such a matter as to
make the listener (even if they still disagree) understand the other
person's version of what the texts mean.. and recognize the innocence of
the understanding..

But other times, as with Azure, one knows absolutely that no one can come up
with their claimed understanding without taking texts out of context,
claiming they really mean this or that, without any linguistics backing up
their claims.. mix and matching texts which have nothing to do with each
other, and presenting them in such a way as to make it seem they are
connected, fooling the unknowing (they who don't know enough about the texts
to catch the flaws..) Such are called *twisted versions*, or *twisting the
scriptures*

<snipped more rant based on missing the point of what was said.>

Note; Azure is aware that he was caught in the act
