Not that I'm an expert or even a follower of this or that. Wasn't there a major split in early Christians over the very fact of Paul preaching 1 thing and James and his followers preaching another? Not to mention that language has never been stagnant, the meanings of words change. Some things that we're written in Hebrew thousands of years ago don't have the same meaning as that of the modern use of Hebrew words. Greek is just an adaptation of a former script that is no longer translatable. If it hadn't been for the "Rosetta Stone" we could possibly still be questioning what Egyptian hieroglyphs mean. Aramaic, Greek, and Latin was what the King James translation was drawn from but was altered to be Shakespearean and to allow the King to maintain his "rightful place" as God's chosen. So I refuse to trust any one translation of these ancient stories and lessons, I however believe we need to know what these men of great respect of their times had to say. This is no different than trying to understand what systematic failures in society allowed for Jacobins to delete whole genetic lines of people for the "revolution". While the American revolution allowed for what we live in now.
