They already did that years ago when they self inserted themselves. Every instance of the word Jew in the Bible is incorrect. Depending on context it should be Hebrew, or The Church.
Yes that's where the name came from, I'm just saying, it wasn't in general use anywhere until long past the Resurrection, and it's use in the NT is incorrect far more often than not, even if you're using it by that definition. Before Christ, nobody called Israelites by the name Jews.

Shit like this is why I have issues with most Bibles. Man is fallible so anything done by my hand can be poisoned by the most wretched and sinful parts of my soul. In the last 2000 years the word has been twisted time and time again by people that want to use it as a hammer against the soft.
Jews will be jews and jew like to own shit, so jews want to own god
Thats why the Vulgate and DRB translation of it are the best in my opinion. The Vulgate predates the Talmud and was written when Christianity was openly counter-semitic, and also utilizes the Septugiant instead of the heavily edited (((Masoretic Text)))
IMO, the entire purpose of Jesus was to teach people to stop caring about written words. The bible is nice but those who live by it are too jewish for me.
1. It is a cultural and language reference we can all use. Kind of like a mountain or a tower on a map, it allows us to find common ground for communication. The KJV is the reason why English is understandable across the world.
2. It contains a lot of truth despite the jew's efforts to remove it or hide it. It contains enough truth that one can find God by reading it. Even though every word didn't fall out of God's mouth and on to the page, the ideas are mostly correct, correct enough at least that anyone who takes it seriously will be able to approach God. Recurring themes are especially important.
3. Because it contains truth you can receive a witness of the Holy Ghost by reading it. Jesus promised to send the Holy Ghost to teach his disciples truth and bring things to their remembrance. By being sensitive to that Spirit of truth, we can uncover more truth, or at least understand where we can find it.
The way I don't use the Bible:
* As a source of absolute truth.
* As a foundation for socratic reasoning or logical reasoning. IE, "The Bible says X, and applying logic and reason we get Y, therefore Y is true."
* As a way to show other people they are wrong and I am right. Arguments over passages in the Bible never end well for anyone involved.
* As a large blunt object in self defense. I carry a gun for that.
(((They))) have done it somewhat recently with the Scofield Bible. It was the foundation of Christian Zionism in the US. Most boomers worship jews because of that work.
They tried to use our natural sense of compassion against us.
They didn't think things through. Once you betray our trust, once you have exposed yourself as someone willing to manipulate our emotions in your self-interest and in contrast to ours -- there is no forgiveness.
It's not the first time they tried to rewrite the Bible
The OT is NOT the OT as originally given to them. They messed with it long before Jesus was even born. Now that we have pseudopigraphacal writings we know some of what they took out.
