Hey, that is very interesting. All the corrections and revisions in plain view. IMO, i dont believe that EVERYTHING gets lost in translation. Translation made me read the bible. I gained something from it.
I love my New Living Translation. Just like GV-NA i had a very strong aversion to anything King James since childhood and refused to read it.
Also realized that many adults don't know how to interpret it either because I would ask as a child and they would get just as frustrated. It's worse when you dont have a pastor to help you interpret it either and he just reads verbatim with no explaination or comparison of events in 2009.
I remember when a Pastor challenged us. He asked us to read a verse in our King James Bible and asked us what it meant. Half the pew had it WRONG. He corrected the elders and all. All those years we saw the text but did not fully understand it.
