Training for Bible scholars typically includes many years of studying ancient languages like Hebrew, Aramaic and classical Greek, and involves study of whether translations should be verbatim or “thought for thought” so passages can be better understood by modern readers

God will be very happy...God said He would preserve His word forever...And finally, after thousands of years and hundreds of translations, God found someone who can get it right...

Genesis in the King James Version starts out,
“In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth,”
whereas Jemas’s translation begins,
“In principles the powers that be the universe conceive …”

Well let's see here...Which one is easier to undestand in the modern language???

And which one removes God from the bible??? What we have here is another anti-Christ...

...the bottom-up idea, which he said he believes, that “God is the contribution of all of us.”

The word of God is whatever he wants it to mean. It's like shake N' bake chicken I guess - "An' Ah Helped!"
