1 | What's John 14:6 in original language? | John 14:6 | winged1 | 132526 | ||
I have a friend who believes many things that Christians believe. However, he does not believe the Bible to be authoritative or infallible. He does not trust history's ability to hand us down an accurate Bible after so many translations. During our discussions, I mentioned John 14:6. He thinks that this verse might be inaccurate. Can any scholar who knows the original language help me out? What was the original phrasing/sense of this verse? | ||||||
2 | What's John 14:6 in original language? | John 14:6 | Dalcent | 132527 | ||
Your friend seems to think the Bible gets translated from each preceding translation. Some think that one of these intermediary Bibles was the King James Version. This is entirely false all respectable translations are made from the oldest manuscripts available. John 14:6 is just the same in the Greek as translated above in the NASB. At my local museum in London, viz, the British Museum, there is one of the oldest bibles in the world on display. The Codex Sinaiticus which is from the fourth century. Dalcent |

3 | How can I show the Bible is truth? | John 14:6 | winged1 | 132532 | ||
Thank you, but I think what I'm really looking for is, how can I prove the Bible is truth to someone who does not believe it? I can't use Scripture because that is suspect in his mind. I need a way to assert it's accuracy. | ||||||

The best suggestion I can offer to you is the website www.apologeticspress.org. There, Dr. Bert Thompson and his staff put together a wide array of publications summarizing and describing in detail evidences in support of God's Word and Christianity in general. Some of these evidences are based both on Bible and God's world. Dr. Thompson draws logical conclusions from science, archeology and almost every other facet of life. I've used some of his publications in a recent class with in our congregation on Sunday morning adult class. Dr. Thompson even organizes his lessons on Christian Evidences into three different levels: for beginners, intermediate and advanced. I used the intermediate and they were great. But I do need to be honest with you: They do get a little technical, some more than others so some folks might be blown away by all the educated sound of it all. And finally they DON'T answer EVERY single question with absolute authority as God does expect us to use our intellect to some extent but ultimately He wants us to accept Him and His Word on faith. I hope you find the website as useful as I have. God bless. Rowdy |
