Oh, I understood what you said, basically you said that interpretation of God's words and will are fine...even though The Bible forbids interpretation and demands TRANSLATION.

Revelation, 22:18 and 19
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of the prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the Holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
To get this verse required translation. Which in itself requires interpretation? Why becuase all languages have different words, these words mean different things. Some languages just don't contain a word that means the same as another word in another language. Therefore it is up to the translator to come up with the best choice of words that carry the same meaning. This means that sometimes meaning can be changed. Why? Humans make mistakes.

Translate a phrase to another language and back again using an online translator of some sort, the words don't come out right, there is different grammar, phrases that make no sense. When a human does this they take the time to rephrase the language so it makes sense, and through this interpretation meanings change.
