Anyone who reads this article will no longer be a Christian. The Holy Catholic Church deliberately and openly lies.
The Bible itself questions Christianity at its very foundation, it questions the very first commandment. The Bible contains an esoteric-gnostic element that the church has concealed. Esotericism is in complete contradiction with Christianity. In the past, when I was dealing with Bible translations, this was the key moment for me to renounce Christianity. The church, which so often invokes the word truth, so disgustingly and intentionally deceives believers. The Bible questions Christianity at its very foundations . The greatest enemy of the church and Christianity is Truth.
Only those who want to manipulate you lie. And the church manipulates you, dear Christian. The whole church and all of Christianity is based on lies.
Christians mockingly refer to Jehovah's Witnesses as fraudsters who manipulate the Bible and adapt the Bible translation to their dogmas.
But beware: the same thing that Jehovah's Witnesses do, the Holy Catholic Church and all other Christian churches do as well. The Catholic Church is no more trustworthy an organization than Jehovah's Witnesses!!!
So we are going to expose the lies of the church.
We proceed from the logic that the Word = God
The standard translation is as follows:
The Gospel According to John – Chapter 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us .

The incorrect translation is the underlined text. The correct translation is "dwelled in you" .
Standard translation:
The Gospel According to Luke – Chapter 17
20 When the Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God would come, he said to them, "The kingdom of God does not come in such a way that it can be observed."
21 Nor will they say , 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For the kingdom of God is among you. "
Parts of the incorrect translation are underlined. The correct translation is as follows:
Do not say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' because the kingdom of God is within you."
And the credibility of the information that this translation of mine is really correct can be verified by everyone on the following links:

https://lsj.gr/wiki/%E1%BC%90%CE%BD as you can see in the secular translation dictionary, the Greek word "ἐν" has the primary meaning of "in" and the meaning of "among" somewhere at the end. Manipulated theological translation dictionaries give the meaning of "among" a little more prominence, but the meaning of "in" is also more prominent than "among." Unjustifiably prioritizing the second meaning over the first is contrary to translatological science, meaning that the church is deliberately misleading believers here. Even the translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible contains the translation of the Latin preposition "in," and the translation of the Latin word "in" into Slovak can only mean the preposition "v." http://www.obohu.cz/bible/index.php?k=J&kap=1&styl=SVUL
- Only about one quarter to one third of the English translations of Luke 17:21 have been translated correctly. A summary of all English translations can be found at https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Luke%2017:21
- All English translations of the Bible have an incorrect translation of John 1:14. A summary of all English translations in one place : https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/John%201:14
http://biblehub.com/greek/1787.htm As you can see, the Greek word "entos ἐντός" has only one meaning, which is "in" or "inside".
The official English Catholic translation has at least a possible alternative translation of "in" mentioned in the footnotes, which is still a lie, because the translation of ἐντός is exclusively "in" and not "among". The translation "among" is out of the question in any case, and yet the English Catholic Bible has it. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+17&version=NRSVCE
In any case, the English Catholic translation of the Bible is at least a little closer to the truth than all other versions of the Bible, whether in English or any other language, where the translation "in" is not mentioned at all, not even in the footnotes.
So this is clear evidence of how the Catholic Church intentionally deceives believers and conceals and camouflages esoteric elements in the Bible. Catholic priests so often mention the word "truth" in their sermons! The Catholic Church organization, which most often invokes the word truth, thus intentionally deceives believers and conceals anti-Christian elements in the Bible, which are contrary to the most basic Christian dogmas, without which Christianity would not be Christianity.
The Bible says that we have God within us, so we do not need to seek God in the church or in the church building. And the Catholic Church logically does not like this, because it would lose its sheep and would not be able to manipulate them. If God is in us, then we no longer need baptism, communion, confirmation, and other church sacraments, and we are no longer dependent on the church.
If we admit that God is in us, that God is us, then we are not Christians and we no longer believe in the Christian idea of a personal God who is in heaven and who is outside of us.
Christians consider the Bible to be the infallible revelation of God, in which only the truth is spoken and everything else is a lie. This is also the dogmatic teaching of the Catholic Church, that the Bible is the infallible pure truth. But the problem is that the Bible itself, which is the truth, calls into question the most basic dogmas of Christianity.
In conclusion: I am very allergic to various fundamentalist Christian communities or fundamentalist and radical Christian preachers such as the very influential Godzone community or the influential ultra-radical preacher Pavol Strežo, Ján Buc, etc. Brainwashing believers with religious fanaticism is a big mistake. It is very stupid to fanatically adhere to every word of the Bible because the Bible is a very imperfect book that calls into question Christianity itself. If we were to take the Old Testament of the Bible really seriously, we would have to kill all non-believers/non-Christians as well.
If fanatical and radical preachers were to learn how the Bible questions Christianity itself, they would probably reconsider whether to continue brainwashing believers so fanatically or to moderate their behavior a bit.
