Even Bible Translators Can Have an Agenda.
This is a very important and urgent topic. The church needs this message. And that without delay.
As always, a video recommendation is not necessarily a complete endorsement.
Let us learn as much as we can from as many as we can. As we recall that knowledge can puff up - but charity can build up.

We grew up on the KJV, but we never felt under bondage. We had concordances, dictionaries and study guides, and even the context itself explained what the church really is an what the bishops and deacons were to do.
There were some obstacles alright, but those who loved the Lord and were sensitive to the Holy Spirit were able to understand the truth most of the time.
When modern translations were made available, we used them. At the same time, I feel some of them tend to "dumb down" the meaning at times. IMO the word pictures used in the original languages are more powerful than the simple interpretations given to explain for us the meaning.
