Re: “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.�
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.
