They were studying language translation, after noticing the translations from Hebrew to German were very different than from Hebrew to English. It wasn’t interpretation of the material, it was an analysis of the translations.
I’m just responding to your “huh what am I apologizing for” part. They’re not talking about apologizing, they were talking about the subject apologetics or the study of the Bible (which includes the study of translations).
Dude, you are lashing out at the wrong people. Be angry at the people who use religion to rape, murder, opress. Don’t be angry at people who discuss obscure translation errors.
You know that discussing the Bible is not the same as apologetics?
I get religious trauma sucks, but the critical analysis of primary source texts from the ancient Near East has absolutely nothing to do with your shitty pastor giving you a hard time for being gay.
I invite you to name a 9th century BCE society that fits whatever moral requirements you think are needed to make a culture worthy of historical study.

Huh? What was I apologizing for? The passage is mistranslated in English, wtf are you on about?
Just fyi, scholarly Bible interpretation is called “apologetics”.
