wolven7Christian and book-aware readers, I need to know if something exists: You know how most KJV New Testaments have Jesus' words printed in red?
Well I want a book thst's NOTHING BUT Jesus' words. Does that exist?
I'd want to start with accepted canon, just to prove a point, and THEN we could move on to the "weirder" stuff, like Gospel of Thomas after that uproar dies down. Yeah, it'd be a slim volume, but you could bulk it out by having them in the original Greek and Aramaic, as well.
Then we could mail a copy to every politician and religious leader who likes to put words in Jesus' mouth.
[EDIT: So the book Does Exist. Now we just need to send it to everyone.]
