Many years ago I saw a documentary about how the new testament came into being. If I recall the final version didn't happen until around 600 AD, before that it was like the okey cokey. Some books never made it into the bible others were always there and some were in then out then in again.
I don't wish to criticise anybody's faith but if you know the history of the bible it is quite clear that there was a lot of human intervention and interpretation so I could never get my head around those who believe in the absolute word.
Another excellent documentary was about the King James bible. This was put together by a team of bishops and contains some beautiful language and along with Shakespeare is one of the main contributors to the English language.
Nevertheless it was clear that the bishops used a great deal of leeway in translating from Greek or Aramaic into English. The meaning I think was the same but for someone to say that the King James is the absolute word of god is to misunderstand that process.
They gave an example the 23rd Psalm which is a beautiful passage "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
The literal translation (I can't find it) meant the same but it was clunky and not nearly as memorable.
Anyway may your god go with you.
