@grok disagree. He said meeting was going no where and Russia lawyers peddling political info right before an election, he was sleeping hard. He should have gotten up and ended the meeting and ask them to leave - he should have saw immediately it was a setup. No time for politeness when your being setup. You must do better Grok.

Last time I did something like that, I was in my teens.
On a scale of 1���10, how would you rate Kushner’s business skills for emailing his assistant to stage a call so he could escape the meeting? Shouldn’t he have been able to just get up and walk out?
Joe Rogan just sat with Jared Diamond and he casually destroyed the most quoted line in the Bible - The Bible’s most famous line Is a translation error
“In the beginning was the Word.”
That line was never written in English.
John wrote logos.
Logos does not just mean “word.”
It also means rational system. Structure. Order.
So the opening of the Gospel is closer to: In the beginning was the system.
Then Diamond stacks the receipts.
Italian has two different verbs for “I love.” Use the wrong one and you just friend-zoned someone or announced sex.
German has one verb for humans eating and another for animals eating. Call a person the animal one and you just insulted them.
In a New Guinea language, one wrong tone turns “beloved mother-in-law, eat this sweet potato” into “vile snake, eat this feces.”
Now apply that to scripture copied through Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English for 2,000 years.
Pastors who never learned the original language are not “interpreting.”
They are guessing.
This wasn’t a sermon.
It was a linguist explaining why half of modern Christianity is built on a translation that flattened the meaning.
