Subject: How inspired is the NAS Bible today? |
Bible Note: Dear Schwartzkm, You seem to indicate that you feel that the present versions are "inerrant", but are not "inspired". I believe there is a seperate thread discussing inerrancy of scripture, and I would prefer not to repeat that in this thread. Therefore, let's assume (as you and I both seem to believe) that scripture is inerrant. My question would be, how would it be possible for current versions of the Bible to be "inerrant" without the inspiration of God? In other words it seems inevitable that left in the hands of mere men, copies and translations of the originals would have to contain errors. Honest mistakes and even changes made to reflect individual's theology would over time change and mess up the Word of God. Since we both assume that the current versions are inerrant, how do you explain that this was possible aside from the direct hand of God? |
