The idea that the bible has been translated over and over and that weakens it, is just a misunderstanding of the sciene of linguistics

I have studied Greek for 30 years or so. I have translated about half the new testament myself. Does my translating it make it weaker?

Even with my amateur standing, I can see all the manuscripts that were used. i Can read the oldest and best ones. I can also see how words have been translated.

You can look up every single word. EVERY SINGLE WORD< even things like "and" .. and see how it has been translated into English since there have been translations.

There are about 10,000 ancient manuscripts in greek, some as old as s200 a.d. and they all say exactly the same thing.

We have a pretty good idea of what the originals said.

That is just science.
