The Inerrancy of the Bible.

S. S. Mills, In Washington Post. 41 ‘Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel!” Is the reading of King James, translation. The particle “at” was a printer’s mistake for “out.” It has been repeated in all the Protestant English Bibles. The Douay translation has “strain out a gnat” and so it now is in the Protestant revision. The straining was not with the mouth but with a cloth. To make the mistranslation more Tidiculous a blundering back woodsman Is said to have-it. “Strain at a gate and swallow a sawmill.”
