I agree that “there are interpretational biases inherent in every translation of scripture?” I think that too many theologians and Bible translators caused more harm than edification in the way they rewrote some Bible versions. It appears, in my view, that many verses are quite clear, like John 3;16, 1John1:9, Hebrews 11:13, etc. I started off with the KJV Bible, memorizing verses I read, than went to the NKJV, tried the NIV, and the ESV, and saw different word substitutions in each translation that were confusing. I went back to my NKJV years ago, and since I memorized so many verses in my head, I simply cannot relearn to speak them another way. In some respects, it is like the “woke” agenda in academia, which strives to erase the past words or revise where revisions are not warranted. I am no expert on Bible versions or linguistics, but I understand a Chinese Christian and a Navajo Indian or any non-Western culture needs translations which they can relate to culturally, that is, in order to understand some things in scripture. So the vernacular is key, but this can be done carefully, retaining the essenential doctrines of the Christian faith.
