Karl,

Before answering this you should have taken a deep breath, and asked
yourself, is it possible, in an even remote way, that it is your Bible whose
verse numbers are off for Ex 20:22-23?

Really, your reluctance to provide your sources is your own disadvantage.
But it is your expectation that others provide evidence when you won't
follow through, that other explain their "misreadings" when it is your
reading that should be explained, and in the above paragraph relating to
abject ignorance, your simple failure to say you're sorry that is really
offensive.
