    Pleased to meet you. I've read several translations of the Bible, Apocrypha, gnostic writings, the Nag Hamadi Library, the dead sea scrolls, Antiquities of the Jews and many other early christian writings too numerous to mention. My Aramaic isn't as good as my German, but then that's why we have etymologists.
    The original documents are preserved nicely at Hebrew University, Israel. http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/ is a good access point, don't you agree?
    Translating is the name of the game. It's true there are several popular mistranslations in the Bible and supporting documents, some were political, some were just sloppy, some are still debated. But then that's why we have etymologists and independent verification.
    I guarantee you, this opens up a world you'll never see inside an organized religion.
    I do not attend "churches" if that provides a clue. They are fine for fellowship, but seminaries ordain just about any idiot that comes along with a pocket full of tuition.

    That is why I constantly study the archaeological findings and history of the area and era, etymological papers on early writings and those early writings, of course.

    From http://www.thelostbooks.com/intro.htm

                Constantine began what was to become a century’s long effort to eliminate any book in the original Bible that was considered unacceptable to the new doctrine of the church. At that time, it is believed there were up to 600 books, which comprised the work we now know as the Bible. Through a series of decisions made by the early church leadership, all but 80 of those books, known as the King James Translation of 1611, were purged from the work, with a further reduction by the Protestant Reformation bringing the number to 66 in the "Authorized" King James Bible.

    This is history, not sustainable practice. Although popular history taught in schools is already altered further than a Disney film. Perhaps coloring history for convenience is the sustainable practice as exemplified by the Catholic church and others.

    I would rather decide credibility on my own, with a historical background of the document along with the content , as should be provided to ALL.
    I am certainly more able to decide for myself than an ancient pope whose education I surpassed in early grade school, let alone all others before and since.

    Hmm, sounds like the anime version of the Bible you are referring to.
    There are many sects that still prefer to use a literal translation of the Bible instead of a historical document stoked with philosophy and a blueprint for civilization.
    Problematically, more than half of this Bible has been edited away for political reasons over time, under the guise of weeding out false accounts, inconvenient truths are dumped by the wayside. The King James Bible has even had several books dumped over recent centuries at the behest of those not wanting to include concepts
    beyond those taught to them by their similarly lazy ancestors. Then of course any book that made ruling over the Catholic Church more difficult or stood opposed to the teachings therein, got dumped.
            It is hard for some to accept Judaism and Christianity utilizing Marijuana as a sacrament in the Anointing oil. But it is there in plain view with only one word translated badly. Calmus, an ingredient in the oil, was a mistranslation of cannabis. If this were true, then the anointing oil would've had MDMA-like effects with a risk of death. King Sauls ecstatic throes were notated from his anointing, but never properly explained. Song of Solomon has several hashish references. Christ would not have been the Christ without the Chrism, the fire baptism of holy oil. Hallucinogenic enough he saw a dove come down from heaven and alight on him. It does say HE saw it, it doesn't mention anyone else seeing it.Further Christ healed with cannabis oil and sent his disciples out into the world with anointing oil and a medicine bag. The FIRST medical marijuana, also illegal from a prohibition placed by YHVH himself earlier and enforced by the priesthood. NOW you know why Jesus was a rebel and not liked by those running the temple.
    My point , I guess is there is more than one way to study and interpret the BIBLE. Most settle for the easiest way , assuming the truth is there for everyone so, why would it be anything more than a direct translation? These tend to be churches where people tend to go to feel better about themselves , rather than to seek truth. Think about it Originally the first part of the bible was in HEBREW, an ancient version at that. Translation to Greek screwed things up nicely and further translation to other languages furthers this. Meanings are debated by a bureaucracy of scholars, meaning only the safest translations make it in.Not necessarily the right ones, but everyone keeps his job and reputation.
    Soon you wind up with people thinking there was an apple tree in the middle of Eden.
    I personally can rectify ANYTHING in the Bible with science as well as any apocrypha, early christian writing or other. I am satisfied and do have no need to listen to the foolishness of either pop science or pop religion. In a nutshell due to my limited time; YHVH created all using the current system of evolution, timeframes as well as the names of people and places in the Pentateuch are representative of relativity and tribes, which explains the time anomolies and thousand year old men. Literally was not the way to translate the Bible from the beginning.
    Forgive them, for they are stupid.

    The next day, go do the troll. Don't beat him the first time.Make sure he knows his wife will be partying with you and some ethnic friends for as long as his payments are late, even if it is during her fertile cycle. Slap him down if he gets disrespectful about it. Piss on him while he lays there. Remind him not to call the cops. Light the curtains on fire by the door as you leave, so he has something to think about.
