Hi Brother,
Glad you like Lamsa translation about which exist a lot of different opinions at this forum.
Christians who argue about doctrines miss an important point and might show a lack of spirit.
But even the first age christians argued about doctrines, e.g. Paul argued about false doctrines that already existed in his age.
Finally 2 Corinthians 3:6 'scripture kills, but spirit makes alive'.
What I understand here, that even if a translation is flawed or not, it is the spirit that discerns the truth.
