Now that’s the word of God. It’s eternal, unchanging

Hasn't the Bible been translated from Greek and Hebrew multiple times?

also even Christians can't agree on what it means--do you know how many fucking schisms Christianity has? (and don't ask about the one which created the Southern Baptists...)

Yes, and some of them are pretty wacky translations. But the underlying word of God is unchanging.
