Thank you sir. I've always wondered why modern Bible readers don't take what the Bible says as it says it. Science, theology, relationship, just commands and events as it is and believe God what he said rather the "new info". All sorts of false ideas of creation narrative, state of man in his sinfulness, God's plan of salvation, Christ's Lordship and much more has risen in the past 200 years. This is why there are so many interpretations. Can you talk about new modern translations and this issue of the 2 manuscripts that were used being supposedly older and better for these new bibles (critical text).... Did not many new teachings and debates arise after they were presented?
I have plans for a lesson on modern translations. Stay tuned! In the mean time I highly recommend checking out Mark Ward's channel as he spends more more time on this subject than I will in this series. Leave him a comment and let him know I sent you!

Would you say the esv, niv ect is infallible?
Have you watched the entire series from the beginning? I recommend doing so and watch it until the end. In context, when we talk about the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture we are talking about the autographa (the original writing penned by the author) not a singular specific manuscript or specific translation. The New Testament quotes the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament) and yet the Septuagint isn't a perfect translation of the Hebrew into the Greek. Yet writers of the gospels quote from it and the apostles quote from it in their epistles. What you should ask is, "Is the Septuagint, NIV, ESV, KJV...." a good representation of the of the autographa?" I would answer, "Yes, good enough that we can say it is the very word of God as far it is accurately translated." I will get more into this in a future lesson on Bible translations.
