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.
