We use the different versions of the Bible. The King James is the most respected but I find it hard to understand. The New International is the one I like.
There are biblical scholars in the church that will point out the particular errors in the different translations. They check it by the greek original meaning of the words.
Should we err, it would be understood by God that we sought His Word to the best of our ability.
This is why we do not like to teach from man-made creeds and watch closely what authors and books are used in teaching.
Of course, drift happens in our churches too and many complain that the young are using books published by denominational authors and that although the error might be pointed out in class, the books will be used often without the errors pointed out.
You would be surprised at how much knowledge people have of the bible. I have been amazed in our church and in awe of the knowledge.
And, again, the Bible is the inspired Word of God given for knowlege, inspiration, etc. So, we would feel safer going to the Bible than in any other document discovered, or written for clarification.
Yet, Christ is the Head of the Church not Peter.
And we only pray to God, Jesus. We do not believe in praying to idols.
Perhaps the individual church members that I have conversed with have been anomalies.
I have been underwhelmed with Bible understanding from most denominational representatives. Accusing Catholics of listening only to the Pope is often followed immediately by “my pastor says...” and without the authority of the Magisterium, Biblical interpretation is frequently wide of the mark.
Can you tell me, for instance, from last Sunday, what Bible verses were read in your service just so that we can compare?
