Adjusting Scripture to fit a doctrine is a sure recipe for deception.

Basing doctrine on a translation instead of the Greek will also lead that route.

You have to go back to the original and compare it to what was originally said, not what might have been said had a different language were used.

Absolutely true. No translation will ever be as accurate and insightful as the originals mss, in the best form in which we have them. Thank God for Greek and Hebrew Bible scholars!
