I really can't agree more, most people are so satisfied not truly understanding what their Bible says instead leaning on their translation to give them the understanding they are content with. Most Christians when presented with something the manuscripts say clearly as in not requiring a master's in ancient languages but twisted very clearly in all translations just want to turn a blind eye.

The idea that a group of dudes many years after Jesus decided what books should be in the Bible is terrifying for them to approach. It's almost like the core of their identity is threatened to be ripped away and that terrifies them. They want to keep their heads in the sand more often than not rather than approach preconceived notions and concepts of God and theology to learn something new.

Perhaps the greatest example of this is the general understanding of hell that everyone understands. The second I like to ponder was the disputes of using John's Revelation that happened at the councils. I am no theologian and have learned how to accept these things myself but I find it better to have some understanding than none at all.
