Note: It might be considered "saying a foolish thing" or "using empty words" when groups assert they are producing "new spiritual food" in addition to the Bible, or when they hold any person or group up as beyond question; thus equating those ones and/or the material they produce with the Bible.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
