I really do not read the Bible much, but I did go to a church where the pastor repeated so many scriptures with the chapter and verse, I could not even write them down fast enough. He always spoke from the KJV, and sometimes he would repeat it with the Amplified version.

Later in life I am finding out that learning Hebrew can and will make the Bible more clear and more real than ever.
@accidentprone Hebrew would be the best! But that would be a lot of interpreting for me.. to do.

@NoGamesTolerated I agree, I have not done it myself either, but when I hear someone else doing it, it brings a new whole life to the truth of the Bible and answers a lot of unanswered questions due to translation errors or language barriers.

@Diotrephes Maybe that is true, but the original scriptures were written in Hebrew and Greek and then compiled into the Bible.

Are you saying this is not true?

@Diotrephes I am not saying you are wrong. But are you correct? It is my understanding that the Bible was compiled only with scriptures that were only compliled in Hebrew and Greek.

@Diotrephes I want to believe you, but I do not. Why should I believe you, and if I did, what do the writings you believe in mean?

@accidentprone It is my belief that the Hebrew translation is the most accurate.
