Bible Note: John Apologist have a hard time with those that aren't looking for truth but rather for a lie! Your right there have been scribal errors, however all are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Most effect past or present tenses. Many are made in numbers. And there are a few cases where the scribes are believed to have gotten a little carried away and penned a few verses of their own. However none of these have altered or changed established doctrine. None of these modified the message of the Bible. None of these produced or diminished any truth or work of the Lord. None of these have altered the testimony of Jesus Christ in anyway. No other work in history has been reproduced even one hundredth the number of times the Bible has without significant errors emerging. Our most significant evidence of this is in the Dead Sea scrolls. These scrolls lost to man for nearly two thousand years contain much of the Old Testament and word for word comparisons to modern day text show there have been no significant changes to the text in those two thousand years. No other work in the history of man can claim that level of preservation! None! Shakespeare’s work, Homer’s works, even the fairly recent work of Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) have been found to contain major discrepancies from earlier manuscripts. No the proof is there, God has preserved his Word! Anyone that is truly looking of the truth can see that. Only those that claim to search for the truth but are really looking of the lie argue the corruption of the Bible. I know of no serious antagonist that tries to prevail using the claim the Bible is not reliable. There are many that claim interpretation, social customs, and prejudices have rendered the truths contained within the Bible to be held in question. We even do that here on the forum, denominational bias, formational teaching, personal prejudices are seen almost daily. I think all serious antagonist realize the argument that the Bible we have today is not the same as the Bible was when it was written is an indefensible position and none attempt it. EdB |
