The nicene creed is still the current doctrine's of Christianity. You are assuming it's stated somewhere how we should translate the bible. It was put out there to help non-believers define what Christianity should be defined as. You asserted that I "would defiantly have to take many of the passages throughout the Bible Literally" which is obviously not true and is subjective, by the definition of Christianity.
People falsly compare the Bible and Qur'an all the time. Yes they're both books, but that missing the meaning of what they are. A better comparison to the Qur'an would be Jesus and the disciples to Mohamed. That would infer that the Qur'an would be more akin to a book written from a discible from the bible. I say this because the Qur'an and Jesus are both the eternal revelation of God. Mohammed and the disciples were the messengers of the ideology. Hadith, Tarikh, Sira and Tafsir compared to the Bible are the history and teachings of the messengers.
No if you believed in the holy spirit you wouldn't have a correct translation. You may think it a cop out because you're not trying to see my perspective. I have something you don't and that gives me a biased perspective. You have nothing that I don't have except perhaps a grudge, yet you can't escape your bias. You either believe in things outside of the tangible or you don't, that's all it boils down to.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
