I am writing my own bible... I will send you a copy... It has nothing to do with other bibles which are copied from mythological stories....
The first sentence of my bible reads:
Love will conquer all stupid religions and gods....

Much of the original text of the Bible was written in Aramaic not Hebrew. All writing, original or translated carries a bias with it. Also the Bible was not codified until the Council of Nicaea (or Nicea, 325 C.E. (Common Era, the unbiased term for A.D.)). The argument over what was included, left out, destroyed, or labeled heretical. So a bias is always promoted, especially when so much rides on the outcome.

i would bet not.
after all it is almost impossible to study or reproduce something without altering it. its one of the most basic laws of science-whatever you study-you also change.
if your refering to things like the number "40" being a word lost in translation from hebrew to greek, where the hebrew original context refers to an unspecified length of time represented in greek, and then into english as the number 40, then independant studies of the bible are your best bet. I find, that almost everything i enjoy has a bias, and the only way to get the real story is to look somewhere inbetween two different people's biases.

The KJV is an accurate translation other than that feel free to learn Hebrew and Greek yourself and make your own translation.

most of the current English translations are from direct translation. i am assuming you know about the word for word verses thought for thought and personally i found ESV the best.
While they try to make it unbiased but i tend to believe it is practically impossible to make the translation totally unbias.

The NT was written in the pagan language of Greek, not the semitic language of Aramaic, Arabic or Hebrew.

Someone famous, though I don't remember who said "A translation is necessarily an interpretation."

i dont think it is possible to translate any book into another language without losing / adding meanings. (unless it is some technical manual of an engine.)
