I'm looking for a good list of mistranslations/loosely translated Bible passages, both from Greek and Hebrew, and of the New Testament and Old Testament.

Oops, I meant to ask for specific lines. :) Specifically, regarding homosexuality, but I'll take pretty much anything.

Any Church of Jesus Christ Later Day Saints.
Any Jehovah's Witness Temple.
Any 7th Day Adventist Church.
The Qur'an is an exceptionally good mistranslation of the Torah.
Many of Zondervan's releases, like the NIV and NIrV Bibles.

Scala Paradisi -- the Stairway to Heaven -- describes a 4-runged ladder to Heaven, each rung being one of the four steps in method of Bible reading.
lectio (reading): "looking on Holy Scripture with all one's will and wit"
meditatio (meditation): "a studious insearching with the mind to know what was before concealed through desiring proper skill"
oratio (prayer): "a devout desiring of the heart to get what is good and avoid what is evil"
contemplatio (contemplation): "the lifting up of the heart to God tasting somewhat of the heavenly sweetness and savour"
