Hot take: EVERYONE cherry picks th Bible. It’s an old book of oral stories from an even older period translated & rewritten by other periods/cultures after. It can’t be followed perfectly. It’s what u take and how u treat ppl based on it that matters.

This is just my personal opinion but I think because of all these linguistic differences combined with cultural and historical context, we should really just focus on loving people and take the Bible a lot more lightly compared to evangelical christians in america. Evangelicals pick and choose which historical context to follow (no head coverings in church, but women still can’t preach?) and it’s clearly just meant to uphold the status quo

A lot of people cherry pick, and it’s wrong in almost every instance. Jesus is the way the truth and the life! How you treat people is so important but how you treat God is even more important. Don’t put words in His mouth and don’t take them away, and certainly don’t take His words out of context

Translation counts as editing IMO, translations aren’t exact

There are thousands of small translation decisions scholars make, because languages aren’t going to perfectly translate over. Sometimes those are small, and sometimes they can change the meaning of a phrase or verse. Either way, they’re edited
