Accuracy of translation

Submitted by Fred (Australia), Apr 25, 2011 at 00:07

Actually, I'll have to inform you that the Bible is directly translated from the original copies. Each time a new translation is made, they don't translate from older versions, but from the original first-century texts (or other periods for different parts of the Bible). The original copies DO have the word 'Jerusalem' in them plenty of times, but more importantly, they have the word 'Jesus' in them plenty of times.
