I have a rhetorical question, if a user was to desire to read Jesus' words in green rather than black or red, should it be allowed and should we accommodate it?
I know it is a dumb question. By the Grace of God, Dan Adams - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~dpa3 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)- Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Joachim Ansorg Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [sword-devel] New filter for red letter words Hey Chris, it wasn't my intention to start a flame war :) We just remove the red color, but no text. The red color was added later by the translators but it's no in the original ancient texts. Just like footnotes. Or am I wrong here? It's the users choice if he likes Jesus' words in red or black, isn't it? And I didn't implemented this because of the sword-support eMail but because I wanted the filter myself. But if Troy says this it's wrong what I did I'll remove it. Joachim > On Tue, 14 Jan 2003, Joachim Ansorg wrote: > > I just added a new strip filter for red letter words.
