Yes, this assertion has been made, but there are two problems with it; firstly that whilst I'll happily agree that not all Christians regard any version of the bible as inerrant, let alone translated version, that no evidence has been offered to show how people are arriving at quantities like 'very few', 'statistically insignificant', 'very very small group'. And second, that it doesn't really matter, because it doesn't make my OP suggestion, that something could be a problem for biblical literalists, wrong.
[QUOTE=Original Position;48589460]As for the accuracy of the standard translations, you have provided zero evidence in this thread that they are inaccurate. Remember, neither I nor most Christians are using inerrancy as our standard of accuracy here.
Well, I have given examples of where English words used in the KJB could differ in meaning from the original texts, or could cause a change of emphasis and so a change in interpretation, but no one is really disagreeing that translations will never be inerrant, so evidence of inaccuracies has not really been required. Are you asking me to provide some?
