Words and phrases do, but concepts don't usually.

yes and no.
yes, over time tranlators who were being directed by bias of doctrine did select words to color their translations to support their dogma.
no, because there are so many manuscripts that predate these distortions that any twists that were added by the catholic and subsequent apostates were easily identified and removed by responsible translators.
We can all test our translations by the simple comparison of using a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and a KJV. We can look up each word in the original languages and see the actual definitions of these words. By doing so we can see whether or not our favorite and familiar translations are accurate.
There are good translations available, but each person must b e ready for the facts they find. Namely, that an accurate translation will typically not support the teaching that originated throgh the "night" that Jesus has prophesied about. That is when Satan had oversown the fields with the "weeds" of the lie.That is why
so many different Christian groups exist. Although they all would like to believe they have the truth, there is only ONE truth that Jesus published.
By using our mental faculties, testing all of our beliefs in comparison to what the Bible really says, and praying to God to receive his message the way he intended it, we can all have a share in what is the truth. And we can all let go of every facet of the lie!

exactly old boy, even the simplest of sentences once they get passed around through a couple of people are all twisted around and @#$%$% (fu(ked) up. For instance tell someone Herbert Hoover was a gay homophobe and once it gets passed around the gallery it will become my hoover vacuum cleaner was first manufactured by a gay kitty cat. They do this experiment in college. And that's the way it turns out so all those spiritual types that take the bible literally might as well take me literally and start praising satan or Phil Silvers

Yes it does. Every play the game telephone as a kid.. where you get like 20 people and each person repeats a phrase and by the 20th person it's all upscrewed and nothing like the original phrase. Well think about eons of that happening with all sorts of writings...

Minor things may have been lost in translation. We got copies of the bible over 1800 years old, so don't worry about things like that

THE BIBLE in it's modern form has been verified against ancient dead sea scrolls written in Hebrew, it's very much correct.

I think that depends on the translator.
