Ah yes. A collection of writings produced decades or centuries after their subjects lived, by people who weren’t there, in a language not spoken at that location and time, translated several times to languages that do not entirely cover the vocabulary or semantics of the original, by monarchs and zealots with no supervision or review. That context.
I wonder what experiments she conducted to draw that conclusion. Also why she just doesn’t learn Greek and Hebrew. If you really believed the creator of the universe wrote a book that has instructions for life wouldn’t you not risk being even slightly wrong and want to read it in the original?

I remember my ex’s mom would always say:
“The only real version of the bible is the king James version. Every other version is a perversion”
And I’m just sitting there like “wasn’t that dude born a couple thousand years after all this supposedly happened?”
“And didn’t he specifically rework the Bible to make himself look like he had a divine right to the throne?”
Yes small changes in the NT about the relationship with powers and Christianity.
