Perhaps I misinterpreted what you said. If so, my apologies.

According to you... which means you do exactly what you accuse others of doing.

Where is that in Scripture? Chapter and verse, please.

And do you get that from the KJV version of Romans 10:9 but not from the NIV? Nope. Not even a little. Your assertion is empty.

Um… you do understand that ‘serpent’ and ‘snake’ are synonyms, don’t you? It’s called a serpent before it was cursed.

Romans 10:9 KJV “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him...

Why would they be able to? Modern Greek is different from koine Greek of the New Testament era. I suspect knowledge of biblical Greek among people who work on translation teams is generally far better than that of the average pastor. This may not apply to the creators of paraphrases, but even...

In the hopes of preserving other people from falling into that hole. Those already in the hole are beyond human help.

Your attempted insult only reflects on you... and badly.

That's one possible translation.

My "reality" doesn't state anything; that's a fallacy of reification. As to your specific issue, my Bible doesn't state that... and neither does yours.

Define "contradicts". If you mean "has different words" then you're wasting time by playing silly games. If you mean "has opposing meanings", then it's a matter for study, and not for assumption that a particular translation rendered the original-language words correctly.

With respect, it seems you have the details mixed up. On one occasion, literal flesh-and-blood (though deadly) snakes were biting the Israelites, and God instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent on a pole, with the instruction that if anyone was bitten (by the regular snakes) that they could...

You keep arguing for possibility instead of examining and accepting reality.

That simply is not true. In many cases a given word in one language has more than one valid translations in another language. Further, the structural difference between languages leads to ambiguity regarding the ’correct’ rendering in the target language. If you had learned a second language...

The Hebrew word has several meanings, one of which is "serpent". Another is "brazen". It's really a simple linguistic issue, and there is no need to be fearful or to speculate.
