Quote:It is almost as if they are reading different languages which raises an interesting question. How certain can we be of any translation of an ancient text?
Indeed. I've studied five languages (Latin, French,Malay, Italian and Vietnamese) although I no longer speak any of them at even survival level. I'm acutely aware of how hard it is to accurately translate ANY language ,let alone an ancient one.
That believers claim that their version of say the Torah (ancient Hebrew to English) or the NT (oral Aramaic to Greek to English) is the inerrant word of god, is quite hilarious to me. If only because of the 5000 odd errors in translation.
