How do you test new Bible to make sure it written by God?

Question

If it's worth changing your life or even dying for it better be accurate, right?

Answer 1

What? ... Bible V1.1 is out, now?
( Gee, we haven't figured out how to verify against myth, yet. )

Answer 2

This is why I use the NWT:

New Testament:

While critical of some of its translation choices, BeDuhn called the New World Translation a “remarkably good” translation, “better by far” and “consistently better” than some of the others considered. Overall, concluded BeDuhn, the New World Translation “is one of the most accurate English translations of the New Testament currently available” and “the most accurate of the translations compared.”—Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament.

“Here at last is a comprehensive comparison of nine major translations of the Bible:

King James Version, New American Standard Bible, New International Version, New Revised Standard Version, New American Bible, Amplified Bible, Today's English Version (Good News Bible), Living Bible, and the New World Translation.

The book provides a general introduction to the history and methods of Bible translation, and gives background on each of these versions. Then it compares them on key passages of the New Testament to determine their accuracy and identify their bias. Passages looked at include:

John 1:1; John 8:58; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-20; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8; 2 Peter 1:1

Answer 3

The Christian God was very careful to prove Himself when He had the Bible written. He wanted to make sure you would recognize him when he acted. What he does is predict the future. No person on earth, no medium or psychic, can claim the one hundred percent prediction rate of God. God gave names, dates, and places so we can check out history and verify his work. He even gave us the very words someone would say centuries before the fact!

If you were God and you wanted to communicate through a book, you would put things in there only a God could know, such as the future. If you wanted everyone to know that you were going to come in person, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.

God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in written form four hundred years before Jesus came. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.

Let me give you an amazing example.

“Daniel 11, written in the 6th century B.C., gives an amazingly thorough account of Alexander’s Grecian kingdom, divided first into four competing factions after his death. It predicts details of the struggle between the Ptolemy and Seleucid empires for a period of 160 years, right down to the advent of the Roman Empire. That is why the skeptics used to claim that the book of Daniel could not have been written before 164 B.C., but now we have proof of a much earlier writing text.

“The prophet Isaiah (44:28) gave the name of a king not yet born and of a kingdom not yet instituted and of an event that would not take place for another 150 years. He predicted that a king named Cyrus would commission the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus did come to the throne in Persia, and in the first year of his reign in 538, he issued a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (See 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3. This prophecy described in the Bible is confirmed by the discovery of a Babylonian inscription.)

“Daniel actually gave the time when Christ would come into the world and die. Daniel (9:24) predicted that Messiah would be cut off (die) 483 Hebrew years after the issuing of the Persian decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued that decree on March 5, 444 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), granting the Jews permission to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. This, too, is confirmed by archeological discoveries. Four hundred eighty-three prophetic years (360 days to a year) and seven days later, Jesus was crucified as predicted, How could a prophet accurately predict the date of Messiah’s death hundreds of years before it took place, unless he was the ‘voice’ of God as he claimed?”

Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, we know with certainty the above prophecies date before the occurrence of actual prophesied events.

He has proven His existence perfectly and wonderfully. The Christian God is the true God.

Answer 4

It's been stated that the Bible was never written by God... If you actually read the Bible, you would know that. Supposedly scribes were inspired by God to write Gods' words, just as Jesus' apostles wrote down his teachings.

I'm an atheist and I know that...

Answer 5

What translation are you referring to? My theory is this: regardless of which translation you read, because it is the Word of God, nothing man can do will prevent the message from coming through. The Bible actually describes itself, "Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit". As for the King James version, lots of politcal pressure that's why I dismiss it out-of-hand. Try the Lamsa version based on the Pashitta. It was translated by one man in the 1930's, a Muslim to Christian convert who was fluent in Aramaic which was the language Christ spoke. To give you an example of the translation from the King James to Lamsa, the passage, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into Heaven" is re-translated to, "It is easier for a rope to go through...". Difference being, rope was made from camel hair and the dialect in the Aramaic was misinterpreted. So yes, errors were made, but it makes no difference. Be it camel or rope, neither can go through the eye of a needle!

Answer 6

First, I reject your premise that gays are born that way with a chemical imbalance. All valid study into this container have not elementary causality, in elementary words correlation, and the finest end is that the habit is an variety which produces chemical adjustments interior the mind, as hostile to being a results of them. next, those with chemical imbalances are institutionalized and dealt with. in a lot of situations, we call them beginning defects. is that the category you're aiming for? finally, you confuse intolerance with disapproval. We, and anybody i comprehend, tolerate many stuff with which we disapprove. Intolerance is inquisition kind habit. Irradication, persecution, imprisonment, and so on... which could no longer our objective. Our objective is the safe practices of our society and way of existence. The Bible identifies the kinfolk because the basic structural unit of any society. Destruction of the kinfolk equals destruction of the society. Homosexuality constitutes a good away (even if unintentional) attack on the societal kinfolk structure. It ends up in lack of kinfolk structure and absence of historic previous, lack of value, and absence of moral stability required for sturdy households to exist. No society of earth's historic previous who has resorted to rampant homosexuality and different kinds of sexual deviancy has ever lengthy persisted. We disapprove of homosexuality the for an same motives that we disapprove of stealing and baby molestation. it is in basic terms undesirable. You apparently have a terrible means to draw close the concept both one among Biblical passages and straightforward experience, no longer to educate you've extreme shortages of information elementary ideas. Societies the position Biblical Christianity (no longer to be wondered with christianized paganism - catholicism) prevails, the individuals of all kinds are the least oppressed of any interior the international. in case you could look into our atheist societies of the previous (Stalin, and so on...) and Islamic societies and finish that Christianity is oppressive, you're a psychological case, or both your are grossly negligent of historic previous and societal info of humanity.
