See. You have proven my point again.
I guess you mean the Greek and the Hebrew is the best seller in history right the way you defend them.
Same goes to you as well. If I were making presumptions. How come you cannot handle them properly? But then you are going to assume you did that right?
Sure. They are being changed by the bible even though it's not god's word. Or unless you are implying god's word is not perfect. If it was all about morality, why do you even need the Bible? Any religious text would do right?
You see, the imperfect versions of the bible are no different then other religious text. I can also claim that the other religious text change people as well. So what is your point?
And you are already going away from the main discussion. I thought the discussion was always about whether The English versions of the bible is the word of God given that each version is different from each other. Not on whether the truth is found in Christianity or not. You cannot even be consistent and you want people to trust you.
BTW, I thought your standard of integrity should be higher then mine. Since you claim to be a "Christian"? But looking at your replies, it does not seem that way. I wonder why?
And why am I being presumptive when I am questioning from an outsider point of view
But like I said. Let the public judge for themselves.
Seriously, what point do you want to prove here?
Have you done any deep research yourself regarding on your questions?
Regardless of what version of translations, the most important thing is to understand the context, understand the message, and the meaning behind it.
Various translation are available to help people to understand the message and the context of the message.
Even to understand the scriptures will take efforts and time.
Starts with KJV, and if you don't understand, refer to others translation, then go back to KJV and so on.
Start with a prayer to God for understanding and guidance with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Then only everything will fall in to the right places and we'll begin to understand the true message which has been revealed to us through the Holy Spirit of Truth.
All take time and efforts.
Do your research first. If you don't know how or where to start, then ask.
Once you done this, then make your own conclusion.
God gave us "free will" to make own decision, your choice so make a wise one.
Else why Jesus speaks in parables most of the time? -
Matt 13:13John 10:27-28Through parables, Jesus can communicate with the people who are ready to listen.
God's words are precious and only available to those who wants to sincerely know and seek of Him.
If you're trying to turn conversations into debates, and to win debates, you're wasting your time and other people's time.
