Humans can nevr figure out God so why fight about it before the unbelievers who also Gid leads to read the exact words that Christians fight and argue about that causes confusion and division? Do Christians know speaking against what the Holy Spirit has spoken has severe consequences in all languages of mankind?

Thanks for your comment. I’m not surprised that the Orthodox don’t like JPS and its Reform background, and use the Mesorah Tanakh. But I’m guessing the Orthodox don’t quote the English words and see them as straight from God’s mouth. The issue isn’t as life or death when you understand that the real meaning is in Hebrew, not English.

A couple responses. David, there are thousands of other languages in the world – I’m not sure why English would be especially favored by God.

Daniel, my article pointed out that no English translation is authoritative to Jews, not that there isn’t any accepted text at all. And I doubt that textual variants in the Greek are what many debate about, at least laypersons. People usually don’t argue whether the NT text originally said “adelphos.” They debate whether their Bibles should render the word as “brother or sister” rather than just “brother.”

The issue of ambiguous translated text was frequently mentioned in my class called discipleship. Whenever it happens teacher RVL tries to show the visual examples and stories to make students understand. It would be very efficient and better way, if all the people in U.S. start learning Hebrew and read the bible in Hebrew, but it is basically impossible.
In honest, as I am studying in states as an international student, I had had hard time understanding the true context and metaphors in bible when I was back in Korea. Korean translation bible was originally done by a french missionary who came to Korean dynasty around 18th century. The missionary learned Korean and succeeded to put the bible in Korean. However, the problem was that even though it was in Korean, it was too hard to understand for actual Korean people. The text is really awkward and the word used are quite ambiguous and even too random.
When I came to U.S. and took some bible class, I felt that it is much easier to read bible in English. It is true that I had some difficulty to understand some words, but still. Now I wonder how would it affect my understanding of bible, if I am able to read the bible in Hebrew. If the English version, which is also figured to be not the best way to approach the real context, helped me that much, what about the original Hebrew bible as itself?

These are some thought that came up in my mind after reading this article.
Thank you for sharing the great article.
