V. Citations
Before getting started, let’s review a few notes…
*This work mostly uses British spelling, except for the quoted material, which often employs U.S. spelling.
*I’ve decided to break from my normal practice, and will only cite from the King James Version throughout this writing. The Mormons hold it in a fairly high regard, and even the Jehovah’s Witnesses often mention it as a point of reference. Also, in quoting from a different Bible version than I would normally use, I’m demonstrating the fact that true orthodoxy should never be bound up in a single translation. If you have to perpetually wield your pet version to prove every point, this reeks of dubiousness. A robust orthodoxy can be expounded from any school of popular textual criticism and from any conservative translation. Mormons say that the Bible was corrupted. The Jehovah’s Witnesses say that all modern versions are corrupt. Is this not a troubling pattern?
*Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.
*As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.
I. Introduction: The Comparison
There are many reasons someone might want to read a booklet like this. One of the most common in the West will probably be people who are trying to defend the Christian sects that are in the title. This type of behaviour has become very common. Many religious devotees think that somehow it is their divine calling to find every writer on their smartphone’s storefront who disagrees with them and promptly give him or her a nasty review and/or a one star
rating. That’s a rather odd form of ministry. It’s surprising though that Paul didn’t specifically mention anything like this as being a fruit of the Spirit, given how incredibly popular it is!
I’m not pointing out this lamentable behaviour for my own
