Very detailed, informational response, delightful to read, thank you for typing all that for me :)

I dont really have much to say about most of it, mostly speaks for itself. But I do agree that just the words translated into modern English is almost never accurate. Truly good, accurate translations have notes, alternate meanings, explanations on context and culture

That’s actually really interesting thanks

Thank you to the people who gave recommendations, I’ll add them to my list and get around to reading them eventually :)

I simply enjoy mythology and want to read something that hasn’t been filled with the biases of the translators. Modern christians actually believe a lot of things that are wildly different from what they used to mean. If I believed Christianity was real, Lucifer would absolutely love modern christians.

As other people have informed me, the bible is really just not easy to translate like that. It’s just an amalgamation of so many different things. While possible, it doesnt seem feasible.

I’ll go learn more about the native americans instead as they have some very diverse beliefs and cool myths. I dont know much about them yet, so its a good option

That sucks. Thanks for the informative answer though. By “accurate” I really just meant preserving the original message as closely as possible. Oh well

Looking at other comments also, it seems the bible is just an alamgamation of a lot of different texts
