Someone might say how the mistranslated Bible might affect their relationship with the Christ. First of all I suspect he also had a mistranslated Bible. Love should have corrected it, but love did not. Now we have it. Leave well enough alone? I'm no chicken.
When Jesus went to supper with his disciples no one washed his feet. To me the hate and judgement clauses of the old (and now also the new) testament are like dirty feet. It would not be changing the original intent of scripture to remove the hate and judgement directives as they were put in there by men. God is love. How do I know? You are not listening. God is love. So either the Bible is not from God or it has been corrupted. More and more people every second of every day are choosing to believe it is not from God. Why? Because believers are choosing to leave well enough alone. They are still choosing not to wash the master's feet.
It is unconscionable that there are many many people believing "if God wanted it changed it would be". It is a believer's JOB to reflect the truth. It is not the job of YHWH to reflect the truth for you and you and you. It is [U]your[/U] job. Seek YHWH Seek righteousness Seek meekness. Seek meekness? At the same time believing God is telling you to hate and to judge? Please, how so?
Is the Bible God's word? Is it a sharpened sword? It is not if it is not right.
