Not necessarily. There are and have been thousands of cults which prove that
man is allowed certain sovereign freewill to disobey as he chooses with little
penalty until the end of days! Life is a sifting process which waits for the harvest.
UNTIL THEN... the bugs live!

ALL translations are inherantly flawed since the ancient languages carrieds nuances
which modern ones lack. Yet, despite this... and despite the fact that one can only
truly understand the subtleties in the original languages... translations persist.

Never uplift a translations to the status of the autogrypha!
Just appreciate them for what they are; and be thankful...
Yeshiah
