    'cause it represents God, and it's cool looking.

    I could ask the same of you. If your reasons to oppose the triquetra are the best you've got, then there's no reason to oppose it.

    I find all kinds of Celtic knots geometrically and aesthetically interesting.

    So What, they printed one copy with it on there and the websites who all mention this exact same bible pass it to each other, Christian sites as well as pagan who mention it?

    What is there to oppose about it, I would say that there should be oppsoition to it being printed on a copy of the bible.

    It being an originally pagan symbol, adopted by the Romans

    So subtle symbolism is different, meaning, you really don't have to look up what a pentagram is, you know what it represents, therefore if it is found on the local lodge door or on the church alter, it shouldn't be a problem, because those places changed the meaning? To them the symbol means something totally different, even if it is well known representation of something else.

    Again, what's the issue?

    The handshake was originally a pagan custom. Our modern numerals are Arabic pagan in origin. The days of the week are pagan in origin. Even the names of our months have pagan origin.

    These things no longer have exclusively pagan meaning. Neither does the triquetra. In fact, my wife is wearing one around her neck right now. She ain't no pagan.

    Hi shotgun,

    Because as Donna said he had a name which was the name of a false god:

    This is what I said
    Then I showed the passage which used his name:

    Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.​

    Just as an aside (well maybe not), the First Edition AD1611 KJV was plastered with engravement representations from paganism.

    Also it contained the Apocrypha.

    I can't find one that has it.
    Again, so what? You don't mind the rest of the paganism in your life. Just buy another bible. Or better yet, look for one slike ours that don't really have this symbol.

    Days of the week, months are pagan, many christian symbols are pagan in origin but not current meaning, and so far you approve all of these.

    According to some perhaps. If they want to be consistent.

    checked ours once again,
    one of mine is Tyndale House and does not ahev this symbol anywhere.
    one of mine and my husbands is Thomas Nelson, and does neither have this symbol
    And I found another one, not for sure where it came from, it's also Thomas Nelson and deos not have this symbol anywhere.
    Now I know my hsuband has an older one, he needed to larger print he now has, that one I've checked before, last time this came up here, don't remember the publisher, but it also does not have this symbol.
