Yes, of course you may ask those interesting questions.
However I'm probably not the one to ask since your requirement is ...
"According to your understanding of the Word of God ( KJV, NIV, AMP, ?........)"
and in my view the Bible in all it's versions, is most definitely not the Word of God nor inerrant. Note, that is an opinion about what the Bible is not ... not a view of what it may be other than that.
Also, though I'm not an expert by any means in Biblical history or the various translations, there is sufficient evidence to satisfy me that it is simply not possible to be sure of any of those above questions from reading and interpreting the Bible. The myriad and different, often opposing conclusions made by so many who imagine it is possible, just affirms that it is not.
One of the unfortunate aspects of the reformation and invention of the printing press was the rise of the "Bible Cult of the Inerrant Word of God".
Unfortunately, this led to the discard of much that was authentic as part of the non verbal tradition in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches ... as well as much that was abominable.
Commonly known as throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I know of no other field of practical human endeavour that would claim reliance only on written material for the passing on of real knowledge and development of practical skill and understanding.
Yet, in the most important endeavour of all .. life ... the Bible cults put this forward as not only possible but the only way.
Having said all that, if you would like my personal views on those questions .. albeit within the severe constraints of this forum written method, let me know.
