Greetings fellow Steemians and friends of the Christian-Community.
Pope Francis has officially approved a change to the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:13 that replaces "lead us not into temptation" with "do not let us fall into temptation."
US Catholic reported Monday that the Vatican enacted the change on May 22.

For years, Christians have wrestled with the actual meaning behind, "Lead us not." After more than 16 years of study, some biblical researchers say a better translation of the scripture would be: "Abandon us not when in temptation."
"A father doesn't do that, a father helps you to get up immediately," Francis said of the line in question. "It's Satan who leads us into temptation, that's his department."

What are your thoughts ?
Does the Pope have the authority to change the scriptures ?
Is he simply pointing out what he believes to be mis-interpretations ?
Will it affect your personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ ?
What about future generations ?
Interesting times....
