Indeed. There are approximately 600 interpretive organizations (denominations) of Christianity with more than a hundred English language translations of the Bible from which to choose.
Some denominations have produced Bible "translations" of their own, tailored to their specific doctrinal needs. These so-called "new" translations change words and meanings; and squeeze out small, washed, brains which come here to beat the bleaching bones of that proverbial
dead horse.
