What proof is there that the Bible has been changed?

Question

I keep seeing answers that the Bible should not be believed because it has been changed so much and yet I have never seen proof. Can someone provide me with evidence of such?

Answer 1

There is none.

Answer 2

Bible Scholars admit that the Bible has been altered and changed ?
Christian scholar Rt. Rev. George Arthur Butterick, in The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, a book written by to prove the validity of the New Testament, states:


"A study of 150 Greek [manuscripts] of the Gospel of Luke has revealed more than 30,000 different readings.... It is safe to say that there is not one sentence in the New Testament in which the [manuscript] is wholly uniform."

Plus kings use to change it all the ttime
I would like to say that sooo many things in the bible have been proven wrong since the age of questioning, when people started counting the petals on a flower instead of reading plato.
i don't see how someone can believe in something like that when their "miracles" could be simple natural occurences, their stories could be written to change the way they behave and so on and so forth. The bible went through the hands of many leaders in ancient rome and other places so why would they not have changed it to their own benefit?
And lol how about the king james version!

Answer 3

Well, it wasn't written in english - or any of the other languages it is now in - and translation can distort, based upon the culture.

There have been documented fires where the bible was translated back from a different language or even version in some cases (minor differences, but there none the less).

There is also human error. They were duplicated by hand for centuries. It would be silly to assume that no errors were made and perpetuated.

The bible was also put together about 100 years after the death of Christ - so it was compiled by people who had never met the participants.

Then, of course, you have all the splinter christian churches that seem to have made minor alterations to their version of the Truth.

Peace!

Answer 4

The Catholic Church general the Bible canon as of the third century, and "made genuine" in 392AD. The Catholic Bible canon incorporates the 40 six OT and 27 NT Scriptures. This Catholic Bible Canon has remained consistent to on the present time, so the theory the Church "replaced" something is ludicrous. If absolutely everyone replaced the Bible it replaced into the Protestants. Protestant Christianity producted a so-called "approved" Bible - with sevben fewer Scriptures than the Catholic Bible. it variety of feels to me that history is exhibiting us that it replaced into Protestant Christianity that has replaced the Bible.

Answer 5

The Bible Unearthed. Very good book. All facts, and if anything, it makes the Bible seem more special - it doesn't belittle it. The evidence here is overwhelming, and this book just focuses on the patriarchs/exodus/Judah part of the Bible. It drags on if you don't truly care about learning about the subject, but I recommend it.

Answer 6

All text change over time. In fact there has been much research done on how text change with rewriting and translation. A great example is the works of Chaucer and the Canterbury tales.

Answer 7

The bible did not begin as one document. Go ask a pastor or a history teacher. They can tell you the details.

Answer 8

How about all of these gospels in my collection that were taken out?

Answer 9
