The problem with those grasping at a Biblical "translation error" concept is that they are unable to produce any. And when they believe they do, they point at misinterpretations as proof, not translations. Now, if we can understand they are interpretations, then there can be no delusion. So, I challenge anyone to produce errors in translations that matter.
Here's your chance to move out of the sandbox of pseudo-intellectual tantrums and your fits of slander into a coherent debate.

Its interesting that no statements from the Bible have been proven false, errant interpretations perhaps, yet this goes on while science revises its own misunderstandings almost daily. Sure, self-cleaning and custodial efforts may seem a noble attribute and a mark of some purity in science, but pales when we just compare the records of ID and evolution. The sciences of anthropology, astronomy and geology are ever proving the ancient Biblical record. The path of scientific revolution today: These disciplines first ridiculed, then adjust in moderation, then retreat from comment, and then reluctantly, confirm the Biblical record. If God didn't create everything then logic can only submit it hasn't been created and we then must believe it just exists by some scientific version of faith. The conundrum-dilemma is that while we as creation eternally speculate and revise, only God can assert and prove things were not created. |

zerocyde:
1) I'm fairly sure Hinduism, for one, isn't all about "The bible is 100% fact".
2) Even Christianity, is not all about "The Bible is 100% fact".
3) This doesn't dispute that the Bible is fact. |

"Who even cares, it's all just speculation, truth is no one can prove or disprove God's existance or the fundamental foundations of science, so instead of worrying about what other people beleive, beleive what you want."Most of the modern world rests on the fundamental foundations of science. It is proven to be a reliable thing, one that we all trust our lives to all the time without thinking about it. Putting it on a par with religion is ridiculous. |

Interesting idea, but religion is all about "BIBLE = FACT REMOVE EVEN 1 'THE' AND YOU'RE A dratING HEATHEN" and the non-religious already don't care so I don't really know who this info is meant for. |

joey: I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm from Megido.Prof Van Wolde added: "The traditional view of God the Creator is untenable now."
What do you mean, "now"? |

@ Megido: You really don't help the Christian image, I'm a Christian and I don't feel the need to tell every one that my faith (because that's what it is a FAITH!) is any better than someone elses. |

Who even cares, it's all just speculation, truth is no one can prove or disprove God's existance or the fundamental foundations of science, so instead of worrying about what other people beleive, beleive what you want.I think science has much better time spent researching in other areas rather than worrying about what people beleive. |

Obadiah, his servants. There shall, in that time, be rumours of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things wi-- with the sort of raffia work base that has an attachment. At this time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock. Yea, it is written in the book of Cyril that, in that time, shall the third one... |

"That is the bigest problem...the bible was not translated right"The biggest problem with the Bible is people keep putting it in the non-fiction section |

"That is the bigest problem...the bible was not translated right"I think that's only one of the major problems and I think it goes deeper than that. I'd say that the Christian bible *can't* be translated completely accurately. Not without time travel, anyway, and even then the explanatory notes required to put the translation into the correct cultural contexts might be longer than the text itself. For example, we're no longer considering how to overthrow older religions in which ritual sex occurs in temples - that's a crucial context for most of the alleged prohibitions on homosexuality. Even with the much more recent new testament, there are simple translation issues even without context. For example, Paul uses the word arsenokoitai (transliterated Greek). What does it mean? No-one knows. It appears very rarely and is never defined. It's usually translated as "homosexual men", but that's just forcing the text to fit a preconceived idea. |

The Hebrew Midrash says that there are seventy faces to the Torah...this means that there are 70 ways to interpret every facet. Jews having been doing it for thousands of years already. |
