This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The New Testament is basically just a collection of witness accounts and letters. Papyrus was expensive so some things do have to be kept short and sweet.

Although they generally have only been translated once. Modern Bible translations go directly from the original greek.

Though not first hand witness accounts.
