The only thing you did to the "Telephone Game" analogy is skirt its point.

Not so, PT.

The gospels and the epistles were written in Greek.

My English translation was made from the Greek and not from some intermediary language(s).

Directly from the Greek originals?

Do they differ significantly from that versions that went the Latin into vulgate? And what guarantee do you have that the one translation didn't inflict a modified meaning?
