I'm fluent in three.
So you attribute all of the bible's incompatibilities to translation alone? What about those that are simply factual contradictions, like the time Jesus was crucified or how many women went into the sepulcher?
Are you implying that an omnipotent god meaning to convey the message of ultimate truth is absolutely incapable of doing so without making it inevitable that it should be blurred and distorted?
By the way, as the godly man you must be, could you explain one simple issue to me.....why is an allegedly sacred text littered with pointless figures and lists? What is the purpose of them?
It bothered me a lot when I attempted reading the bible. Their presence, among other details, made this supposedly infallible book look a lot like a chronicle, law book and mythology of the Jews patched up together with rumors of an apocalyptic preacher. Underwhelmingly unimpressive for the moral absolute, IMHO
