    That one issue alone is enough to bother me. The Bible has been translated, edited, and re-translated so many times that important subtleties have been heavily altered or lost completely.

      That’s what I say all the time, across thousands of years there’s no way some king/ruling class somewhere at some point in time didn’t try to modify the text to benefit them not to mention accidental changes like you said through multiple translations.

      Hell, sometimes even translating things between 2 modern languages causes subtleties to be lost completely
