Here's an interesting phenomenon I've noticed back when I was kicking it around with protesters...
When in a Methodist Church, a Bible-based church, a Nazarene Church, the Our Father has the words "forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who'd trespass against us"
This is the same as in the Catholic Church.
Now, when I went to a Reform Church, (Dutch reform, them crazy Calvinists) it was "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors"
Now, I know some Hollanders, they can pinch a penny those people can....so this makes me wonder...
Is this change in wording found in any other denomination? Or is it exclusive to the penny pinching Dutch?
and if so, why?
