Make a Biblical case for the amount of variation allowed.

And yet, in the case of Peter, the RC's, EO, and Protestants all
disagree.
> Thomas, an apostle, calls Jesus "God".
So say you and I. But the JW's read this as an exclamation, not a

meaning behing Jesus' statement about Peter's confession, why can't they
be wrong on the reading on Thomas' statement?
