Why all the Bible translations?

Have you ever wondered why there are so many modern translations of the Bible? The bottom line is quite possibly marketing and money. Here is an article that you should read:

How many versions of the Bible do we need?

One of the men quoted in this article actually says the Bible translation issue is drifting towards a Babel of translations. Wow! What a thought when the Bible says:

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Have you ever been in a Bible study and during discussion about three or four different people comment that 'their' version reads differently than the teachers? Confusion.
