Translation, version, its all greek to me.  Realy though,this is what I mean. If some translations are more correct , then there are some translations that are less correct. What happens if you get the one that translates things wrong?? Also , this is just a thought because I realy dont know, wouldnt god expect his followers to learn the language of the bible? If he said things a certain way then wouldnt he expect people to make the sacrafice to learn them the way he intended? Wouldnt those languages be considered "holy" since it is how god communicated with his followers in the old testament.[/QUOTE]Language is just a tool. No one cares what language you think it in. The Bible also says in the New Testament (where they contradict, the New Testament is always valid) that the disciples learned many tongues to tell everyone about God.
Everyone returning to the thread, please read my attempted summary and thoughts a few posts up. It's the bloody long post
