Lost in Translation

Just how do you know? All the scriptures are up for interpretation. Did you know the KJV of the New Testament was completed (or officially re-written) by eight members of The Church of England in the year 1611 at that time, there were no original texts to translate. The oldest manuscripts were written down hundreds of years after the last apostle of Christ died. There are over eight thousand of these manuscripts, with none of them alike. The king James translators new used any of these anyway, instead, they used and manipulated previous translations to create a version their king and parliament would approve. Most versions of the bible in modern times are almost completely derived from the works of those members. Furthermore, for thousands of years religion especially Christianity and European Catholicism ruled the old world with an iron fist. The Spanish Inquisition is a prime example of this. You think a couple decades of tyranny is a long time? Try 300 years. Religion is always so quick to snuff out the first voice of reason at any opportunity it gets. Do that for a long time, control truth and information through genocide, that's how you get on top. That's how you force yourself into power.
