Currently in the United States, we have 297 separate forms of Christianity as registered religions.
There are over 76 different bibles for those religions.
Most are just retranslations of the King James version. A few are retranslations of the original language books.
Whats really fascinating about the translations is how each different sect can translate to their own slant on the ancient words. To add to the confusion, English is one of the most dumbed down languages on the planet.
Here's an example.
In all the ancient languages like Sanskrit, There is no single word equivalent to the word MAN. The ancient languages were much more precise in describing things. There are almost 100 variations and words that can be transcribed to mean Man but none are as specific as the original meaning. On top of that, the preceding words of the language can greatly alter the meaning of the word that was written.
In many of the dead languages, scientist are still finding new meanings for words that they thought they had it nailed down for centuries.
Add on top of all that a cultural bias and you get what you want from the text.
Like the 10 commandments. Did you know that it's not the same from book to book? Catholics have one set of commandments and Protestants have another. Evangelical and some fray religions have even another set.
Its just a big crazy confusing mess no matter what you do. I can understand why all the religions have tried to kill each other over the centuries.
