Now you've gone and done it!

I wonder what the Biblers would say if they knew that there are people who learn ancient languages just so they can read important things in the original tongue - because it is IMPOSSIBLE to say the same things with every nuance intact in English. That's right. When you go from Italian to English with a document more complicated than a shopping list, both context and meaning are lost, guaranteed. When you go from Latin or Greek to English it's even worse. There is no 1:1 correlation of words between languages.

Micro > The thing most people never think about is which BIBLE is the one true Bible and contains the actual spoken words by HOLY MEN of OLD as they were led by the HOLY GHOST ?


None of them.

The 'Actual Spoken Words' of the 'Holy Men' were spoken in languages nobody speaks any more.

What we have are translations of translations of translations.

And, how many of those 'HOLY MEN of OLD' actually took the time to read what somebody else thought they said and ensured that the record was accurate? (How many of them were capable of reading?)

It is the Holy Bible: a collection of sixty-six books composed and compiled over 2,000 years by forty authors on three continents. Despite the impressive diversity of authors, genre—from history to poetry, from prophecy to personal accounts—and languages, the Bible displays an irrefutable unity of purpose, undivided harmony of thought, an unfolding narrative that is both unified and progressive. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, projects universal truth that remains applicable to people around the world. The Bible is loved in Bombay as in Birmingham, in London as is Lisbon, and in Nepal as in Nicaragua. The Holy Bible is an unrivaled powerhouse that, by its message, has instituted hospitals, orphanages, unleashed liberty in human government, introduced domesticity to barbarians (I am of British stock and think of my own ancestors whose pagan religions led to unimaginable sorrow and cultures that were unsustainable), and, ultimately and positively shaped the great spheres of human governance in the home, the Church, and the State.
