You:
 If you told me something and I repeated to someone in a
foreign language "A Translation" then when I repeated it,
even though I
 repeated what you said, and it was inspired when you said
it. I guess it must lose something in the translation and
now I know what it is, the inspiration.

Me:
If the KJV is 100% infallible then the Trinitarians are
right: 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in
heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these
three are one. 

If this is not a blatant blasphemous addition by an
overzealous editor (15th century I believe) then our faith
is truely in vain.

This is why we MUST refer to the Greek and the Hebrew. 
What was writen then was and is inspired but what we read
are translations by men.  

We must NEVER forget however that when one is in doubt
about the true meaning of a passage in a translation one
can refer to the translators or can ASK THE AUTHOR!  The
AUTHOR of the Bible speaks every language!  Just call Him
up!

The KJV is the BEST translation and is based upon the
original manuscripts of PREVIOUS TRANSLATIONS.

When the Bible speaks of the "Word" it means "Logos" and
not the written word.  The original text of the Apostles
was inspired 
as are those of the O.T.

If the words of God's preachers TODAY are not inspired
again we are lost.  Does the word of a modern preacher hold
as much sway as the Bible?  Sometimes more.  It will never
contradict what is written but God sends a more
"personalized" version through His preachers.  Always
compare the Bible with the Spoken Word (preaching) and with
the Word or Spiritual witness of God Himself.
