Nickols, which version of the Bible was "wrongly translated"? I have read it cover to cover in many different versions, and I do have some problems with a few versions on a couple of scriptures. But guess what? One can look at the original Hebrew and Greek texts, get a good concordance, and figure out EXACTLY what God was saying when he inspired that text. Don't like a translation, get another.
But as far as the Bible having changed over time, that is absolutely incorrect. The Bible has the best track record of non-deviation from the original ancient texts of any book ever written. Second place goes to Homer's Illiad and Odyssey. If you have ever read those great works, you will find that there slight differences based on translations. But the story, and gist of what Homer writes remains the same. Even the writings of Josephus vary slightly in published works. But it is amazing how thousands of years have not been able to dilute the power and beauty of the Bible.
May you see the truth.

PS: I marvel that you use the word "escape" when referring to the angels leaving the "kingdon of heaven". I don't know any Godly creation who would WANT to "escape the presence of God". Most of us are seeking ways to get closer to Him.
