Personal Note............................................. Hi Kalos, Thanks for your response clarifying your position. I am glad to hear that you also believe the Bibles that we have today to be "reliable". One word of caution though would be that you seem to still be saying that there were times when the Bible that people had was not reliable. By saying that some of the later "manuscripts" had words added, or that "earlier translations" were less reliable, you still introduce doubt into the authority of scripture. If you can judge those previous Bibles to be faulty that the people of their day trusted, then how do you know that hundreds of years from now people won't say the same thing about our Bible today? I believe that God has protected the truth and accuracy of His Word throughout all the time, copying, and translating since it was first written. Therefore, I believe that the Bible was just as authoritative in the manuscripts that the early church had, as it was in the early translations (like KJV) that the people had hundreds of years ago, and as it is still today in all of the major translations (NAS, NIV, etc.). |

Greetings Sir Pent! I have been following this thread and your position raised a question in my mind. How then do you explain all of the variant readings in the manuscripts of Scripture? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

My answer........................................................ Hi Tim, I'm always glad to see your posts on the forum, although they are less common than they once were. Your question of how do I reconcile all of the variant texts in ancient manuscripts is a bit too broad. However, just like the supposed "contradictions" that people often bring to the forum, I do believe that there is an explanation for each of them if taken one at a time. |

Greetings Sir Pent! It is good to hear from you my friend! I hope to post more in the future. My life has simply been very busy as of late! :-) This has forced me to limit the number of my posts. I do still read the forum daily though, and try to add my input where I think it may be helpful. As far as the variants are concerned, I was not asking the question to imply doubt about the text. However, I was under the impression from your posts on this topic that there were no variants. That there are many variants is a demonstratable fact. Which is why textual critics must examine all the texts, and apply sound rules to determine the original text. It is a fascinating study. Well, I must run now! It is time to practice piano! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Personal Note........................................................ Hi Tim, I'm glad that we share the confidence in the authority of scripture both when it was written and even still today. I also look forward to more participation from you when your life calms down a bit. Until then, enjoy the piano :) |

Greetings Sir Pent! I'm not sure 'enjoy' is the right word! :-) Our new pastor's oldest son plays piano by ear. I have to plod along with much practice! Sometimes, life just isn't fair! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
