How can people take pieces of text and quote the bible literially? The bible has been translated so many times, that there must be some translation errors in it, minor or not. It is not the original scripture written word-by-word. And as you say, its most of the time meant to take literially.

I've read both Finnish and English version from the book of revelation, and although concept is same, there are some words, that are not exact.

Or then again, maybe I am just illiterate.
