Really, God's language is English? Kinda like how all aliens speak English in the movies, huh?
Because I thought most of the Bible was originally written in Hebrew. Which means that Man had to translate it, and Man is prone to error. Are you saying that translation is an exact science, and does not involve interpretation? Even today, translators do not agree on some of the passages.
God's language cannot be written with ink and paper for humans to fully comprehend. Haven't you seen Dogma? Our head would explode if we heard the true word of God.
So it follows that the Bible is also the work of Man. It was inspired by God, and the teachings of Jesus, but it was still written down by Man, in Man's language. Whenever you go from God's language to that of Man, you're gonna lose something in the translation.
