Is your bible "Valid"?
Can anyone in this forum Speak, Understand, Read or Write the "Malniac" language?? That is the language the king james version of the bible was translated from. Can anyone state for a "FACT" the translation is word for word??
"FACT" There is "NO ONE" alive today that is 100%" positive their translation of the "Original" bible text is 100% accurate. Of the original text, only a few shards remain in existence today.
The bible has been translated into over 2000 different languages, from one language to another there may or maynot be a word that discribes what the original word infers ... Case in point ... In the Mendae language there is no word for "Slave". The closest translation is "Worker". Are all workers slaves?? How can anyone say their version of the bible is the correct "Word for Word" translation if we don't know what the original text says even if we did have the entire original text available??
Case in point ... (paraphrase king james)... and the earth was without form and void and darkness moved across the face of the deep. Logic would dictate "deep" means "water"... The american standard version uses the word "water"...but... "the earth was without form and void ". Logic would dictate "The earth Did Not Exist". So what did darkness move across the face of??.
Case in point ... In Jerimiah 1:5 god was talking to or about someone else but what is said must be universaly true for all people all the time..."Before I formed you in the womb I knew you".
Why did god command Abraham to kill his own child to prove his faith if Jeremiah 1:5 is true??
Case in point... Christs lineage is "Documented" back to Abraham. That's 42 generations... 800-1000 years.... Why is 18 years of christs life "Undocumented"?? Did he no longer amaze and astound the scholars??
FYI.. My dad is a preacher...I was raised in the bible... You will have to research those questions for the rest of your natural lives and still not arive at a satisfactory conclusion simply because christianity is based on an incomplete text that no one can say for a fact what the original text says and 99.999% of the original text is unavailable.
Good Luck
I look forward to your "Verifiable" answers.

If YOU want the Bible Verified, YOU have to do it yourself.
As a preacher's kid, YOU have access to his knowledge.
The King James Bible has been verified as the most accurate Bible.

there is not any "unique text fabric of the Bible". each and every faith commencing with the Roman Catholics began to take specific codices of the interest and those clergymen Canonized them as being the actual observe from God. How can that be while guy did the choosing and selecting of that have been the solid "observe of God" and something became rubbish. guy can't make that decision and that i do no longer care what sort of "humorous hat" he wears. My philosophy is Kindness

Dude,maybe they lost some scrolls and things,but it's not like they couldn't translate it.The translators must have been experts in those ancient languages,or else they would have left someone else do this job.So,maybe some words changed their meaning,but this dosen't mean the entire book is poorly translated!

Can anyone validate date anything? For all you know you could be a germ living inside of a piece of fruit, we could all be someones dream, or we could all be computer programs that only think we're alive.

Dead Sea Scrolls. The New Testament and most of the Old Testament are on their pages. Not one iota has changed, yet scientific facts are constantly referred to in the Bible. If scientific facts and specific prophecies proven true aren't proof, then you are living in a fantasy world where apes evolved into humans after it evolved from something that evolved from a fish that appeared from a swamp some supposed millions and millions of years ago.

You won't get any serious answers. There are a lot of dumb Christians that make a ton of excuses on this site.

As you can see from the atheist above, he or she didn't even bother to read what we Christians have to say or even research to support his proposition that we all spew lies.

Because Jesus said he loves me and how he loves me and lying isn't included in his love, so I fully trust him
