Also, because of regional orientation, one may say something one way...while I say it another. Because of that...subtle differences in translations are not really a major problem for me.

So then, if a "translator" chooses to make a verse say it the way he thinks it should be read, then how does one know the truth - or what God really wants to say?

ok - so how does one know if the Bible they have has not been "adjusted" by someone who is intentionally misleading people who read it?

Quote:One more opinion here...if God intended all to read from the origional text, in the origional language...why is the Septuigent so prevailent in the NT?

Could you explain that a little more - not sure what you mean. From what I have read the NT was written in koine Greek
