Can we trust in God's Word the Bible?

Question

There are many translations of the bible. What bible would you choose to study.

Answer 1

"Can we trust in God's Word the Bible?"

I found that I could trust what it says concerning doctrinal issues. If you ever got a chance to read a short book called Fire and Blood, you might benefit from what it says about trusting what's written in the Bible.

"What bible would you choose to study."

It depends on what you are studying. If you are studying comparisons between versions, you probably would want all available versions. I only do that a little when I want to verify the Greek, Aramaic, or Hebrew text with a concordance.

Other than that, I use the NIV, the KJV, the NKJV mostly.

Answer 2

They're all similar, for the most part. The same message is being sent. Look at how different many American bibles are compared to one like King James version. Some are easier to read than others. I always had King James. The bible is the bible, simple as that. Sure they're translated different. But they've all given the same message. And of course I trust God's word. But, that's me.

-And for any atheist who would find me stupid and gullible, at least I've got more to gain than lose. If I'm right, I've got everything to gain. If I'm wrong, what have I lost? I will have lived a good faithful and fulfilled life according to my morals. It's a win win situation. If an atheist is right, they've neither lost nor gained a thing. But if they're wrong, then they've got everything to lose.

Answer 3

We can trust in the God of the Bible of course. The Scriptures all testifies to History - The Second Man and the Last Adam; The Word made Flesh and dwell amongst us; The Light that shineth in every men heart's who believes, The Alpha and Omega - the Beginning and The End. All things are made by Him and in Him all things consists.
His Word will never passed away , not even an iota but the Atheists, Religious, secular philosophies of men etc will.

Answer 4

There are a lot of translations, but they all lead up to the same thing. Serve God!!! If you need help understanding what the Bible says, I suggest a Bible Study.

Answer 5

The Bible's uniqueness is an evidence it is God's inspired infallible Word. The new Believer's Bible(New Living Translation)

Answer 6

Present day bible is not pure. It has many contradictions. Some verses of the bible have been thrown out very recently by scholars. For Example 1John 5:7.
They declared it an interpolation. God knows how many interpolations are yet there.
Jesus spoke in Hebrew but NT (manuscript) is in Greek. Why is it so.
There are four Gospels in NT. None of them is Gospel of Jesus.

Answer 7

My favorite is the New Century version. It is written so you can understand it. The New Living is another good one. Those are the two that I prefer. My pastor uses the Amplified version. It explains well, too. You are so close to God when you are in the word! And it's surprising how one time you read it, and then another time, and you will have a different interruptation of it. The holy spirit will show you what you need to know. Isn't it awesome!

Answer 8

I wouldn't trust the bible when the birth of the saviour can't be written without contradictions. Only two accounts of his birth and they have differentiating items. I guess God's dictation was a bit off those days.

Answer 9

yes you can trust the words of the lord in my household we study all of the bible and live by the bible

Answer 10

When I choose to study I use the NASB. It is a word-for-word translation that is the closest IMO to the original language.
