I'm no expert in farming but are "bushes" and "shrubs" considered to be "plants of the field"?
Quote:Regardless of what you think God should have done, having multiple translations is a very good thing because it helps preserve the meaning of the original text because we can do a cross reference.
And here I am thinking that if God really wrote a book, that there would only be one book, one translation and one correct edition (to say nothing of clearly and concisely written, qualities that any edition of the Bible lack). For that matter, I would expect there to be no need for missionaries since the book would have been published all over the world. There would be no other form of sacred scripture for all cultures would have been introduced to the Word of God.
Then again, Nature's God is a very different being from Yahweh, a god who deliberately confuses people so they won't be saved.

Aside from the fact that it seems more plausible than an omniscient deity provides his Word but pays no attention to all the translation errors which are bound to confuse these KJV-only Christians?
Translation errors are still errors.
