2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
The Holy Bible is the single most verifiable piece of archaic literature in existence. It has survived the test of time as a book of accurate historical narrative, poetic beauty and spiritual authority. But is the book which we know as the Bible, truly God’s word? Has the Bible been kept pure and complete from the time it was written until the present day? A natural question for any Bible-believing Christian to ask is whether the very book which tells him of His Lord and Savior contains the precise words which God intended for him to have. We live in an age which is dominated by evolutionary theory and humanistic thought. In our present day, it is hard to know what is actually true. Has the Bible been passed down to us through the centuries without error? Is it still preserved? If you ask the typical Bible-believer whether he believes in the Biblical doctrine of preservation, the answer will almost certainly be “yes.” Any theologian who truly believes the Bible will aver that the word of God has been preserved. However, in today’s spiritually tepid, compromising environment it is wise to get a clear definition of terms from those who claim to hold to a particular doctrine
As Christians we believe the following about Gods word in the Bible.
- Its Inspired by God (God breathed)
- It is infallible
- It is inerrant
- It is true
- It is incorruptible.
Which Bible should we read, and why?
It’s a great question, yet often gets tossed to the side or answered with vagueness.
It is often a question asked by someone who has recently become a Christian.
The internal consistency and accuracy that is presented in the King James Bible is second to none and the modern Bible translations, including the New King James albeit fall short in their delivery of God’s written word.
The 1611 version of the King James Bible or otherwise known as the Authorized Text is a word for word translation of the Textus Receptus (Received Text) or Majority Text from its original Greek in the New Testament.
The two main streams from which we receive all of our Bible translations today come from one of two Texts.
- Byzantine Text
- Alexandrian Text (From Alexandria Egypt)
