The Bible is a library of sacred literature from oppressed & marginalized communities. So why do we translate it to justify more trauma, authoritarianism, and exclusion?Portions of the New Testament are available to read online, such as Mark 1:4:
It came to be that John the Submerser was in the Wilderness and announcing a submersion of transformation of the mind for dismissal of deviations.
Wow, that's a bad one. It's never a good idea to go into translation with an agenda. The notes they provide give an insight into how they try to justify their choices, which are essentially untenable.
