Not that the Bible is wrong at all, but where does one draw the line between believing in God existing, and believing that the contents of the Bible are never corrupted? What would even stop one from not corrupting the Bible, especially given that everything else in our lives is corrupt? If I remember, some of the content of the Bible was literally added on later when KJV came out by one dude, from England, so who is to say divine inspiration wasn't used in other parts for either population control, personal beliefs or whoever knows what else?

This is an interesting anecdote, but in the midwest in the old churches I go to, the pastors would actually look up the meanings of words in hebrew, and go back to the old passages from the original scripture, sometimes throwing in multiple versions of the Bible to see how they differ. In the northeast, they sometimes do this too, but nowhere near the same intensity as the midwest, which is what makes me think im missing something in my sermons

My church reads exegetically from the original languages. We will briefly run over a passage in English (NASB) and the pastor will call out any weakly translated words before going on to then break out the entire passage word by word assessing the verbs in-depth, along with grammar rules.

Some old southern churches are that way. I find the older folk go to love Jesus and God but a many have ruined tradition and destroyed and changed the word. The japs say Jesus didn't die his brother did and he died at 106 years old in Japan and is buried there The Nepalese believe his name was Issa and he traveled to Nepal and India to train before going ho.e to Palestine and being crucified
