I think I should clarify some things here - apparently there were some misunderstandings. I never said (or thought) that the Word of God is not important, nor did I say (or think) that we should follow our emotions. I personally NEVER follow my emotions and would never encourage others to do it. We are to listen to God's Word in spirit and in my faith, this means to listen to what our conscience tells us (the still small voice inside of us, not our emotions or feelings), as I believe that our conscience was given the Word of God in spirit and was given to us as a guide.

About BIble translations, I don't have much to say on that issue and I don't have much ability to study either because of a weak conscious mind, but I do believe that God can and does use various different translations to speak to people and guide them. I do not know which one(s) are the closest to the original text, but I am comfortable with the one that I am using (NIV). Maybe I will check it out at some point when I think I'm able to take in the information mentally, which probably is not right now. Yes, sometimes I wonder what the original text really says and I also agree that this is important. I am not diminishing this in any way.

Additionally, I think that it is kind of stupid the way some people on this thread are fighting over seemingly nothing - just my opinion.
