Not sure about that. Yeah, they claim the works written by all kinds of folks, revised and edited again and again were divinely inspired. But the translation falls down. Too many of them and they often disagree on meaning. So interpretation can't be avoided at that point. But there also can't be several absolute, infallible word's of God that don't say the same thing.
Quite the conundrum.
