i'm a believer who has read from and been blessed by many English translations of Scripture. i've also been blessed by Hebrew translations, Greek translations, and for a blessed number of years now, from the true Aramaic text itself.
Alaha has used the fallible translations of men's earnest attempts at conveying HIS Word to build up my faith and comfort and empower me, and to remind me of my sins - and every translation i've ever read has been an aide in some way, even if i didn't realize it at the time.

I am just worried about the public confusion. Those 'variants' do not convince someone who does not believe, it is even misused by those who want to sow doubts.
It's a little like Paul said, that languages do not convince those who are outside and weak christians (I mean, not having a good fundament) are not helped by more translations.
