In this lesson, Translation Methods from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we uncover how different translation philosophies—from word-for-word to thought-for-thought—can dramatically shape the meaning of God’s Word. Many modern versions prioritize readability or cultural appeal over accuracy, leading to subtle distortions that affect doctrine and practice. This study examines how translations are produced, where bias can influence the text, and why fidelity to the original languages is essential to preserve God’s intended message.
