Subject: How inspired is the NAS Bible today? |
Bible Note: Dear Joe, I like your point that a message is authoritative based on its source. To an extent this is true. However, a message from even the most authoritative source can become meaningless depending on the transmission of that message. For instance, a person could be reading a delicious recipe from the Betty Crocker cookbook. Now I would submit that is an authoritative source (when it comes to cooking, nowhere near the Bible). However, if that person is dislexic, and puts in 61oz of an ingredient instead of 16oz, then that recipe will not be successful. I would submit that if left to only the minds and abilities of man, an "accurate translation" that you refer to, would be impossible to the degree which we currently have. Would you not agree that God had to have been involved in that process to some degree? |
