My contention is that the Bible itself corrects mistranslations and misunderstandings.

I also contend that no one is led into a false doctrine by a mistranslated Greek word. We get into false doctrines by following men rather than God. And for that poison, Greek is not the antidote.

And 20 years of witnessing to Mormons and other cultists, as well as new Christians, shows me otherwise. The lack of basic Greek and Hebrew leads many to misunderstand basic doctrine.

Except if you're reading a translation, you're reading a translation of the Bible and not the Bible itself, so the Bible is unable to "correct" anything.

I take it you're one of those "the KJV is divinely inspired (and the British peoples are true Israel but I don't want to say that out loud)" types.
