re: 
" That being said, was the Bible, as Darrell suggests, translated anywhere near adequately?"

I'm in agreement on this,  and here's why:

Messages from God, or Spirit or Source Energy, or Angels - is/are "interpreted" by mankind -
who's mind - naturally - filters it with their understandings of their culture and their understandings at that time.

Today's messages are very updated,  and very different -
because we all have gained far far greater understandings - over the last few thousands of years.


The prophets of the Old Testament interpreted God's word - just as the prophets of today do,
and today's message is clearer and makes far more sense.
In fact, it is my personal understanding - that, all the pieces now fit in the big picture puzzle.

That is to say, every single question has an answer, and all the answers make sense.
