Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.

Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.

Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

I don't think that's accurate at all. There are Bible scholars who make it their life's work to understand the oldest manuscripts of the Bible we have in the context they were written in. Many newer Bible versions have these blurbs in them that explain certain phrases exactly to avoid misunderstandings. It's on you if you choose to stick to stuff like the King James's version, I'd say.

The meaning was more that Bible scholars are needed. And they have a hard work!

Ah, that's fair then! The more people working on it the better our understanding will be!

Tbf I think our current understanding that's available is pretty good, especially from how deep Christology goes and from theologians and such. It's just that some people don't have a good individual understanding.

Like in 1 Corinthians, KJV says "Charity is patient, charity is kind" compared to the modern more well known "Love is patient, love is kind"
