Myth, 77

 ~ Today’s Bible Is Unreliable ~

Overview  ~  It is true, as many point out, that there are many translations and even paraphrases of the Holy Bible in existence today.  But that does not mean they contain a different message. 

Reality  ~  Words change meaning over time.  Some people read easier and often with better comprehension with different writing styles than what others prefer.  Today’s mainstream Bible translations are all faithful renderings from the original manuscripts.

Yes, in the past some printer errors have occurred which when found were corrected. 

Confidence  ~  Any believer who reads a widely accepted mainstream Bible translation with the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit can have complete confidence that they are reading the accurate Word of God. 

Comment  ~  While on earth Jesus Christ was the Living Word of God.  Today we use the written Word of God for doctrine, teaching, and inspiration.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.  I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word!  Be ready in season and out of season.  Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching” (2 Timothy 3:16-4:2).
