I'm asking you to tell us if you believe our English Bibles are reliable. Grail clearly does not.

One time while I was studying the bible, I saw it as a tree. And all the pages were the leaves, bringing healing.
Another time I saw the bible and everything in it was (how should I say) hmm... sexual. I can't think of another word at the moment.
Another time I saw the bible as the Red Sea parted. And the road that led the children through was the silence between the old and new testament.
That transition from darkness to light.. but you don't read it, you walk by faith into the next chapter.
I seen the bible in so many different ways, I ended up with an onion.
And each time I delve into it, it's like peeling off another layer and revealing deeper truths.
It's amazing.

I think that is how the bible is supposed to be seen... as a help and instruction for ALL OCCASIONS.

My view:
Scripture is Absolute truth inSPIRITED, by God.
Verbatim? Not necessarily.
Meaning - Gods Word has a Specific pattern and intent.
Men's words have Specific patterns and intents as well.
There are MULTIPLE books, all titled the same, called; The Bible, and seemingly one would think they ALL, are trustworthy...but not so.
I do the complete opposite. If Scripture says it, it is, from Gods perspective, (without, does that make sense to my Logical mind,) but rather what is God telling me from the Spiritual viewpoint of God Himself.
Glory to God,

It seems that how you have described it leans to more accuracy... Assuming often and usually leads to mis-interpretation... Giving man too much choice in WHAT something means is NEVER a good thing... but PRAYING for WISDOM to understand what GOD has written is DIVINE.
The Word of God, IS Stand alone, sufficient AS IT IS....without the "BUT".
No one is suggesting, you can not personally, consider, believe, be satisfied with scientific, ideas, theories, or so call results proven to your personal satisfaction.
Science is about Discovery, scripturally taught. Historically, men interested in Discovery, had a hard time supporting a family, while tinkering with ideas, experiments, testing and results.
It's a racket in these days...Someone else is "the financial supporter", and Expects successful Results that ones IDEA, will net a Lucrative and clout result. And that introduces....Pressure, for success, true or not. And thus goes the CIRCLE...for the public at large, is it or isn't it True.

Bingo - Ask and it shall be given you.
Even that is worldly taught out of perspective.
God already knows your "needs", and has provided.
God desires you to hear His Word, and "WANT" and "ASK" HIM, His "Spiritual and Wise Understanding, OF HIS Word".
And personally, I believe "THAT" is an exclusive offering, for the committed Converted, that most DO NOT know, or use, rather I would estimate, the "WHAT" the BULK of men are Asking God FOR:
IS: for man-made junk. (That which, BTW, will be in a man-made dump, in but a few short years.) ...or perhaps "given" away...because one no longer "wants" it....and feel all good, as if so "charitable".
In my view, the value of charity, is giving what you yourself want to keep, not want you do not want.

LOL - the obvious. TO surmise in his Words, your (supposed, entire perspective.)
Clarity is subjective. There are multiple "English" translations.
Some are not worthy, Some are worthy.
That is best for the individual to expressly speak for himself.
The Bible - How do you view it ?
OP ^
Inanutshell... IT
THEY (the umpteen acrobatic inclusions, exclusions) requires a SIFTER.
The "sifting" in my POV, is more about the "intent" of the "WHO", is revising, rewriting, without men paying close attention to the "new TITLE", and still calling it ... The Bible.
Versions, Versions, Versions...
And all, can net a man a suitable BEGINNING introduction.
The MOST accurate and reliable witten Bible IMO...
Is THIS:
2 Cor 3:
[3] Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
One voice, One language.....can ya dig it?

A true Christian is obligated to clearly state his beliefs! How can someone who hides his beliefs be a Christian?
This is not a new thing... Many Christians have fallen into the pit of useless bickering and division.
Most people do not read their bibles for DEEP STUDYING purposes... there are universities for this kind of thing... Bible scholars
are far and few between... YET..... tons of money is spent on purchasing tools to UNDERSTAND the bible... SADLY... many of these
same people don't seem to place the same emphasis on LIVING the bible... they argue non stop about the TEXT of...
Jesus could care less WHAT people know... Some don't even believe Jesus is GOD... so what good does their 40,000.00 library do them??
