Understood. The point I was attempting to make is that the scriptures and holy texts have been translated , regardless of the version you decide to follow.. Having read several versions I was struck by the similarities, as well as the differences. The linked translation (while corrupted by translation) is quite beautiful, and sets a far more peaceful tone to the Bible, and to my mind, displays Christianity in a much more acceptable light.
I admit I am not a Christian by most standards, primarily because most Christians would not have me in their flock. But that will never prevent me from developing an understanding of the teachings of the Christ, any more than not becoming a Monk prevents me from learning of the Buddah.
