Answer 3

Yes, I believe that the Bible is true, though it has been translated many times. The words of the Bible were written down by men in their own personal style -- but the words were given to them by the Holy Spirit. 2 Timithy 3:16-17 says that all Scripture is "God-breathed"

The Canon of Scripture (the books selected in the Bible) were done by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It cites itself regularly.

Many OT books refer to other Old Testament books. To name a few, Nehemiah 9 refers to Jewish history from Genesis-Ezra; 2 Samuel 22 records Psalm 18; Daniel 9:2 cites Jeremiah 25; Jonah 2 recites portions of the Psalms and Ezekiel 14:14 and 20 mentions both Job and Daniel. Josephus says of the OT, “After the latter prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, the Holy Spirit departed from Israel." (around 400 BC) (Against Apion 1:8). Just as the OT quoted itself, so does the NT: 2 Peter 3:15-16 mentions Paul’s writings and Paul quotes Luke 10:17 in 1 Timothy 5:18.

The Dead Sea scrolls date from 150 BC - 100 AD and prove that the error rate in the Bible is less than one per cent, and that even 98% of that error margine is spelling or grammatical errors. No doctrine is affected.

The accounts were being circulated during the lifetime of the authors and early Church fathers also commented on the books we now use as Scripture: Clement, writing in about 96 AD, identifies the following NT books: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, 1 Timothy, Titus, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, writing in approximately 108 AD, alludes to the following NT books: Matthew, Luke, John, Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, and 1 & 2 Timothy. Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna (c. 70-160) writing in approximately 110 AD, identifies 16 NT books as canonical. Justin Martyr was aware of the following NT books: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, Hebrews, and 1 Peter. Irenaeus (c. 150-202) became bishop of Lyon, Gaul (France) about 180 AD. He identified the following books as canonical: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thess, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Hebrews, James, 1 & 2 Peter, 1 & 2 John and Revelation.

Even sources outside of the Bible speak of Jesus: External evidence “writings confirming Jesus’ birth, ministry, death, and resurrection include Flavius Josephus (AD 93), the Babylonian Talmud (AD 70-200), Pliny the Younger’s letter to Emperor Trajan (approx AD 100), the Annals of Tacitus (AD 115-117), Mara Bar Serapion (sometime after AD 73), and Suetorius’ Life of Claudius and Life of Nero (AD 120).”

God, who gave us the word, and who preserved the word through the Canon of Scripture has also overseen the translation of that word -- through the Tyndale, Geneva, King James Version and other versions before the late 1800's. In the 1800s, they found the Alexandrian text, and it was used in several versions (it DID have some errors) -- but when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, and the errors found, it ceased to be the only manuscript used for translating the Bible. In the last 30 years there have been many, many translations of the Bible. Yet, it is the computer age -- translations can be checked for accuracy, even in spelling and grammar -- and most everyone now has access to Greek and Latin dictionaries to check the words with the originals. So, every time the translations COULD have changed the original meaning -- God has stepped in to provide a measuring stick for the truth. God preserves His word.

Answer 4

The Bible was written by people who were high on something real strong... A lot of the Bible writers were perverts going around NAKED! like the prophet Isaiah who "God told him to prophesy NAKED for 3 YEARS!"

Isaiah 20:2-3 KJV
At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking NAKED and barefoot. And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked NAKED and barefoot THREE YEARS for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

Micah 1:8 NIV
Because of this I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.

Answer 5

Never have and never will. The bible is only a collection of stories, nothing more nothing less. To claim that the bible is true because god said so is foolish thinking.

Answer 6

Translated many times, yes, but also protected by God so his message to us remains clear.

(Revelation 22:18-19) “I am bearing witness to everyone that hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll; 19 and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things which are written about in this scroll.

Answer 7

Yes, and my reason for that is being I believe God's word it's about having faith in him and also if you really read and understand what your reading the same things that occurred in the bible are happening now. History just repeating itself

Answer 8

I believe it does not lose it's message.

I believe it's like this:

Stealing is wrong.
Don't steal.
Stealing is a sin.
It is wrong to steal.
Stealing is a violation of people's property.

No matter how I said it, which words I used, the meaning stayed the same.
