My point is that the Bible translations are based on the translators opinions. I personally take the Bible as a reference, and a guide, not as law. If someone wants to take the Bible for law and swear by it, they had better know what it really says, not what someone else says about it. You cannot know what the true meaning of a manuscript is if you do not understand the culture and language that it is written in, and yet many Christians just want it handed to them.
Many take the Bible lightly, and yet they want to argue over which translation is better. Truth is that none of the translations are as accurate as the real thing.
The closest thing you will get to having it handed to you is the Interlinear Bible. I must admit though, im a bit lazy myself;
