ongaratulations...you are on the road to enlightenment in the world of humans.An understanding of the failures of men to accurately interpret the words of a god into text after text is a step towards truly understanding what "God" means. The needs of this "selfish" god are not neccessarily what was intended. If you, as a Flawed creature translate a"perfect " text from one language to another you will make at least one mistake somewhere. Now, imagine several hundred people translating that same text , one after another over thousands of years.....will it read the same as the origional, not likely......just my take.
