→Authorship of Hebrews?
:The thing is, because the subject is the Bible, ''every thing written here about the Bible and each book is going to respect Christians and Jews''. As it was said in the Commandments page, this is a family site, and a lot of families hold the Bible as precious. We are going to respect that. Right now I am re-doing the article on [[Genesis]] because the original editor decided not to do it in a respectful way. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 12:30, 17 March 2007 (EDT)

==Translations==
At present the article rather gives the impression that all translations are equally valid. In fact, few are as literal - but, at the same time, as generally incomprehensible and occasionally as inaccurate - as the King James Version. It might therefore be worth suggesting this - with caveats - as a basic reference. On the other hand, there are other versions, such as the NIV, which deliberately skew certain words (as, for example, in Genesis 2 and Exodus 20) to fit Christian, and especially fundamentalist dogma. Readers need to be warned of this. Thus, a section needs to be added on translations, suggesting that all assertions regarding what the Bible says need to be checked with at least two translations, one of them being the KJV. The ''Blue Letter Bible'' deserves a mention in this connection, too. However, I see that the rest of us aren't allowed to add such ideas! --[[User:Petrus|Petrus]] 12:11, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
