Why don't you try something which is not geared explicitly towards telling you what you oh-so-desperately want to hear, troll? You know...maybe learn something by accident? Or is that too threatening?
Hmm....
Quite interesting indeed.
When I click on the links, they take me to the corresponding websites....
Maybe you have a virus on your computer??

You believe in Jesus, well...remember he told his followers "let your yes mean yes and your no mean no?" Isn't it odd then that we need "Bible scholars" to translate the Bible for us mere laymen and women?
There are many members in the Body of Christ. Some have been called to be apologists. The sites I referred you to are apologetics sites, not translation sites.

I love the Bible, from the accounts of God creating life, to the accounts of God taking life. All of it is equally instructive to me.

That is your choice.
I also choose to live life based in reality and not on fables and folklore.
