1 | How inspired is the NAS Bible today? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 15488 | ||
I agree with you 100 percent that God has preserved His Word for all people of all cultures. I think where we differ is our definition of inspired. I think what you are defining as inspiration, I call providence and preservation. To me, God only inspired one Bible, but thru His providence, He has preserved and continued His Word, not continually re-inspired it. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

Well, my view of God's "providence" may be exactly as your view of God's "inspiration". My view of God’s providence would mean God’s Divine guidance in preserving His Word. That would not and could not mean every translation was a perfect and precise inspiration, whereby the Holy Spirit exerted Divine, out of their control, direction on the ears, minds, hearts, and hands of each and every translator, as God did on the holy men that He originally inspired His Word thru. Rather, it means His Word is preserved in such a way that each an every translation is subject to examination and comparison to the original, and we can be confident we know what the original is and we can be confident we are trusting in the work of God and not man. In Christ Jesus, retxar |
