The goal is to get Christians to consider the preservation of God's infallible word and the confidence we can have in reading a Bible that is 100% pure!

True. I supposed it's just that it can be misinterpreted. Thank you for deciphering the two.

Feel free to pass it on!

Remember that God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). The same God that inspired the Bible has the power to preserve and keep His words. And He so faithfully has kept that promise (Psalm 12:6-7)!

Logically speaking if one translation has a verse that another one does not have, either the first translation is adding to God’s word or the second is taking away. (The same applies to messing with doctrines and removing and substituting words.) The questions we must answer is do we have a Bible that is error free? Psalm 138:2 says, “God has magnified His word above His name.” A man’s name is only as good as his word. If we can’t trust God’s written word to be error free, then we can’t trust God Himself.

You are most welcome to email me if you’d like to discuss this further! info@bontragerfamilysingers.com

I agree that if we're comparing different Bibles and taking a lot out of context isn't good.
I really like this and want to share it with others

Hmm, that's interesting. 🙂 During my work with the contest materials for the National Bible Bee, I was simultaneously immersed in four translations. It actually bolstered my faith in how God preserved His Word through the translation process, even though different words were chosen by the different translations. Even the bigger "discrepancies" were never big enough to compromise the overall meaning of the text.

I know that blog comments are not a good place for a discussion, so I would be open to carry on via email if you'd like. 🙂 I also have a couple of resources in mind, if you're interested in looking at an alternate viewpoint. Or, we can leave it at this and just agreeably disagree. 🙂

You are right that Jesus is the Word of God (John 1). However, the revelation of that Word is the written word of God. If we can’t trust the written word of God (The Bible) than we most certainly cannot trust the Word of God who authored it.
