And if the answer is no, then why do you believe that the Bible is the word of god when it has been changed x-times over centuries and centuries?

I don't care what changes you make to the Bible you can never make God real.
They believe God is real cause they have to, it's their emotions; and don't go asking logical questions in here.

The Bible has not been changed, in the way that you suggest. It has been written and compiled over a span of centuries by men who were inspired to write it because God spoke to their hearts. Each of these men's writings validate and do not disprove the others' writings because they are all God-inspired. Because they did not have the technology that they have today, many writings had not been kept together. It wasn't until Medieval times that rulers were able to put together these writings into book form, and many translations of these writings have been made in order to make the Bible easier to read. These translations did not alter the message of the Bible, and in fact, various translations, while using different words to describe similar things, will often complement what has been written in another translation. One thing that was written by one of the last authors of the Bible is that the Bible is unchangeable. The Book of Revelation warns against adding or taking away from the written Word of God. It actually says "woe unto anyone who adds or takes away...". It was written before all the writings could be compiled into one book, but if you believe that the Bible is the INSPIRED Word of God, then at the time the Book of Revelation was written, it was already understood that everything that God wanted us to know was already written and would be compiled, and we are not to add to or take away from that.

The word of God has never changed, just the interpretations. Even the King James which is my personal favorite, has it's flaws on very critical I believe. But these can be identified by using a couple different translations or even a Strong's.

I believe it's the word of God so far at it is translated correctly, I read the oldest English version I know of because I don't understand Greek or Hebrew, and that's the best I can do.
But yeah, I don't really read modern English versions to try to stay away from as much "lost in translation" as I possibly can.

No.
The Bible hasn't changed at all since it was first written. This I know because there has been so many commentaries, books, texts, letters, treaties, pamphlets, teachings taken FROM the Bible all throughout time. If it would have changed then these commentaries, books, etc. would be different from the Bible that we have now whenever they would've quoted from it.

the bible I read is a direct translation of the greek and hebrew.. i will not accept one that is one person's ideas or concepts... only by a group of people who strive to keep it as correct to the original as possible... but yes, the Bible is the Word of God... and that is why we are to hide the Word in our hearts so that changes do not change what God says to us

The message has not been changed. Jesus confirmed the OT, and there are over 5000 copies from the original manuscripts to support that the NT has not been changed.
God's word has not been changed. The Bible in your hands in our God talking to you. He protected His Word. : )

Faith is something you feel. Doesn't matter what this world proves to you with a book or other things. All of the religious books in this world is written my men. I don't think they are entirely true. But I don't confuse my longing for supernatural power with scripts. If a sentence moves me to be better, whether the sentence is from Bible or Playboy, it doesn't matter.
