Do you think the bible has flaws? First of all, the English bible is translated by imperfect humans right?
The English versions are not flawed but maybe they did not accurately interpret the correct meaning of a word being implied. I have read the Lamsa version, which is translated from Aramaic to English. It is the version used by middle eastern countries for centuries. The differences I have found are that they don't use the word 'sin' but the word' error', which I found interesting. There can be a vast difference in words being translated based on customs of the times and countries. I prefer translations from Jews because they know these things. Just the difference in the inference of ' sin ' verses ' error ' are huge. One says ' evil ' while the other says ' mistake ' those can cause totally different feelings and beliefs about ones self.
