Not at all.
The fact that they use colored beads to implement those methods seems irrelevant.
Yep.
As I have said, I don't care about red-lettering. Not a big deal to me. However, if all translations in red-letter editions also provide editions without that does not change the "in theory." The issue is, how far should power over texts go? At what point are you disrespectful of the text and the author/translator. I think we should treat the text of someone like J.B. Phillips as if he were our friend. Not everything is about the users. That is the issue.So far as I know, there is no translation with a red letter edition available which does not also offer a black-letter edition. What's the issue here?
Jerry
