Which "BIBLE" is best ? Why it REALLY Matters !

[gordonhooker]

[gordonhooker]

Yea , how do we know which one is true or if any is true at all ?

I don’t know that we can know, in the Anglican Church we have scripture, tradition and reason to help and most of all prayer and the Holy Spirit to guide us.

 

[cfyahoo08]

You seem to be trolling your going on the ignore list.

2 Timothy 4:3 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

People tinkering with the bible to get $ is not a reason for a new and improved version.

Terrific, that's what people should do if that's what works for them the best and gets the Truth.

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

And since when did "luck" come into reading God's holy, Spirit inspired word, under the guidance of that same Holy Spirit?

Well there are various interpretations and opinions out there concerning how to interpret scripture. The idea of saying one person's opinions shall guide us all into the truth gave us the Pope. We baptists reject that way. Another method, of course, is to see how one's doctrines line up with reality. All those who deny evolution fail that test.

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

Your inferring I am lying that is not the case. $ motivates later translations pure and simple. I don't know how many times people are going to ask, If the translation Tyndale did was worthy of his Death then it certainly must have made an impact on SOMEONE.

You're not lying, you are telling the truth as you know it. Tyndale's version indeed had impact! It brought scriptures to the common man in England! God was in that! But his translation was improved, later, by the KJV.

You should refrain from blanket motivation assignments. That's lazy thinking, and it results in condemnation of worthy people.

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

Canon was set approx 300 year after Christ . Early Church fathers quote books like Tobi which are not in our canon nowdays , don't know what and who believe anymore .

The Old Testament Apcryphal books were found in the Septuagint, which was the greek translation of the OT. They just showed up there, but since that was the version of the OT that was widely circulated in the church around the world, the fathers read it and quoted it. They are not found, however, in the Hebrew text and for that reason the protestant reformers insisted they be left out. So our protestant bibles lack some of the books found in the catholic bibles.

The KJV would not have been with out Tyndale

Yahweh is Perfect and Says Himself that He Guards His Word.
ergo: no loss. no problem.
Rather perfectly designed by Yahweh, as always (and all that He desires accomplished)...
not by man's doing, not by man's strength, not by man's so-called wisdom or knowledge,
but
BY MY SPIRIT, says Yahweh - He perfectly did as He perfectly planned all along, since before He created the world or any life ....

Nice thoughts, but you don't make it concrete there. Which canon to you hold to be correct - the protestant or the catholic?

Very true. Another kudo for Tyndale!

 

[Strong in Him]

Seriously , your against the bible.

Seriously, I love, read, study and teach the Bible.

Either you genuinely don't understand the point I'm making, or you do understand but are ignoring it because you don't have an answer.
If you don't understand, I'll try to explain. If you don't have an answer; say so. But don't make the slanderous statement that I am AGAINST the Bible.

 

[Strong in Him]

People tinkering with the bible to get $ is not a reason for a new and improved version.

Again, where's your evidence that people have been a) deliberately tinkering with the Bible and b) only doing so for money?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Do you trust men over* God ? *(instead of God?)

As others (may?) have posted recently (this year, etc) that God chose before the world even began , don't you believe God Breathed and Inspired and Directed and Guarded His Word
as He Decided before creating the world and all that is in it and all life ?

How does any of that prove that the motive of the translators was to tinker with the Bible for $s?

One of the sites had over 314 different editions / versions of the bible are you saying those are all for altruistic reasons ? I highly doubt that.

The King James version had the apocrypha as part of its translation. Do you accept the catholic version with the apocrypha, or the protestant version without the apocrypha? Why is it so hard for you to just tell us?
