You can have free refills of coke if a bit of alcohol is added…

So, free refills on alcohol is okay, but not sugar???
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 2 days ago:
Probably the best solution honestly… In chain restaurants that don’t offer free refills, I quite frequently just take one anyway. Nobody ever stops me. If I asked they might say no, but I don’t ask.

Can we ban turning point UK and all other American social media platforms for that matter.
Although what they did in soho does seem pretty based, but yanks out
Just looked into king’s army, they’re not blackshirts at all. Still wary about their affiliations with TPUSA, though

The assertion I’ve generally heard is that it’s quite close. Like some things are worded differently to the masoretic text which we used before it (although other manuscripts were right anyway) but no doctrine changes.
You hear the likes of Bart Ehrman claim all these things about thousands of textual variants- most of them are simply spelling errors.

Whenever Jesus did directly claim to be God, they tried to kill Him.
John 8:58-59
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
John 10:30-31
“I and the Father are one.” The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.

Wikipedia isn’t a source. A whole Wikipedia article doesn’t back up your claim.

Mark 2:5-12 ESV
[5] And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” [6] Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, [7] “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” [8] And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? [9] Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? [10] But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— [11] “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” [12] And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
By saying “the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” was a divinity claim. Because the scribes were correct - only God can forgive sins.
Sin is a transgression against God. So only God is in a position to forgive that.
Psalm 51:4 ESV [4] Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.
This is written by David despite the fact he committed adultery.
2 Samuel 12:9, 13 ESV [9] Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. [13] David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
If someone were to wrong me, would my child be able to forgive them? Nope. I’d have to forgive.
