It's funny, so many Christians say this, but many of them have vastly different interpretations as to what the narrative means. The one thing they have in common is that they all believe that they have found the right interpretation.

Yes its true, and this is because of many reasons, too many to list or explain here, but as technology has advanced especially computers , only in the last several years has it bean possible to have at ones finger tips, the entire Hebrew and Greek manuscripts and all other translations plus a full range of dictionarys past and present to trace the etymology of words, also add to this the different tenses, punctuation, vowels etc etc etc, it is no easy thing to translate one language to another accurately, there will always be problems, since the first translation of the 1611 King James 50000 + improvements have bean made, and todays translation is still not acurate eg: the word hell should be grave etc ! so when one debates what the narrative is , make sure your understanding of it is accurate up to date, and most importantly what you say does not contradict the narrative.
