And which interpretation/translation/revision of scripture do you accept?

Multiple interpretations, translations, revisions of the Bible, even within different congregations — or within different individuals, for that matter.

The Book of Revelation is actually a prime example of a book that has been interpreted in countless ways by different sects and religious factions or groups. All of them convinced of their truth, of course.

The one closest to the original (and I know if I fail a time or two God will give me grace), but you are distracting from the issue- it’s not “which interpretation” one uses (unless of course the writers of that interpretation did not STRIVE to remain true to the original meaning); the true issue is that one should not take away from ANY part of scripture..I am sure you’ll agree with this..
