It says at the beginning of the bible that the word of God shall not be changed… When a manuscript is translated, is that translation not counted as ‘changed’? – Who decided it was Ok to change the word of God?

and when the translation is translated, is it not changed AGAIN? And so on, etc. LOL! My evangelical friend explained it to me thus: The Bible is the unchanging word of God, therefore it CANNOT be changed. Even if the translator WANTED to use a wrong word, when writing the translation, he’d be moved by “The Spririt of the Lord” to use the correct one. That’s what she really, truly, and whole-heartedly believes anyway.
