No. God has not left the greater part of humanity without the benefit of instruction and salvation to be found in holy scripture in dead languages few if any still speak. He raised up translators, individuals and institutions, suited to this exact purpose. Today we have many translations to compare, not to mention many easily accessible lexicons, and Greek, Hebrew, or other language dictionaries suited to exactly study the original languages you speak of. If in fact God has not preserved His word by such means for us to understand, then don't worry be happy and enjoy what ever free for all you choose. We are all on our own or at the mercy of some who would lord themselves over us, and in fact have no responsibility toward God, who has not even considered it important to preserve a knowledge of His will for the average person. To the contrary -
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
God has preserved and provided his word in the various languages of the differing peoples of earth, though many have and do try to prevent such.
The Bible: The Most Translated Book in the World When it comes to books that have left a profound…

Yes the Bible has been translated, but to rely solely on the translation without study of the original language is to rely on men rather than God.
God gave us a Church not a book. Scripture tells us that the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. 1Tim3:15 This is inline with sabbath teaching. God creates then He rests.
Jesus built His Church and sealed it with the Holy Spirt in 33AD. The Bible has been translated and manipulated numerous times in that span. The Church has remained intact.
God inspired men by the Holy Spirit to write scripture, and the Holy Spirit guards His Church intact since the same 33AD.
The many that have tried and do try to prevent God’s word are those that deny the Sabbath. They say instead that God was incompetent to build His Church and allowed it to become apostate, and He needed the special talents of special men to do His work for Him, but there is no record either inside or outside scripture to say He would do that.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. His teaching remains intact since 33 AD
I cannot give belief to a group that claims to honor the sabbath and denies it at the same time. A group that demands I follow the teaching of men rather than God.
You claim logic from scripture to say that there is no hell. Jesus warned of hell. What is to fear from the sleep of death? If death is sleep there is no difference between the just and the unjust. Atheists believe that already. Eternal separation from God who created you is a greater fear. Separated not because He rejects you, rather a soul in hell has rejected God, denied His creative power and proclaimed Him unjust to rule His kingdom. It is eternal separation, not sleep which no one fears.
SDA cannot even take a stance on abortion. The direct murder and blood sacrifice of children is ok, because decisions are so difficult. What nonsense is this? Killing babies is ok but don’t dare eat pork or even meat for that matter. Breakfast cereal was promoted by SDA named Kellogg to supposedly reduce a man’s libido, as meat eating allegedly induces sexual desire. Really? Where in scripture does Christ teach that? Our Lord said it is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, rather the behavior that comes out.
Where is your consistency in scriptural translation? SDA love to say that Jesus denied the blessedness of His own mother by translating Luke 11:28 as “on the contrary” instead of the correct translation of “yes, rather”
Mary is the promised enemy of Satan Gen 3:15.
Her flesh is beautiful, but her profound beauty is in her obedience. “Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to your word”
Why does the Bible need to be mistranslated to prove your point?
Translations do matter and your inability to admit that we should consider the original language of the Bible instead of a translation far removed from the original is telling. Do you wish to keep the original words of Gods from reaching the ears of men?
You need to do more research for your book instead of using confirmation bias from those that agree with you. That mode of argument is not scholarly. It deceives the user to think one is right when he could be mistaken
