I've had my feet in and out over the years of really starting my journey into the words of Jesus Christ, but haven't fully accepted it. I finished watching [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ4NTdSK5ac] and my mind is blown. Especially the part he says towards the end that "why should god show himself to me if I won't continue banging on the door over and over?"
It's like I've been waiting for proof, but if I knock once or twice, don't get proof and give up, why should god present himself?
I encourage you all to watch this video. For those of us who were on Voat, it says a lot of what we already knew, but he provided sources, citations, photos. It's quite remarkable the work he put into this video.
Anyways, I would like to get myself a bible and I am curious what the most accurate version is?
I am also curious if the words of the bible today can be trusted? Who is to say the satanists didn't take over publication and tweak words, remove verses, etc? This is a legitimate concern of mine.
This is the most serious post I've ever made and I am genuinely looking forward to responses so I can proceed to the next step of this journey.
King James is missing 7 books. Douay Rheims is the best English Translation.
Yes, it is the only English version that was promelgated by the Church that was started by our Lord.
There is no question that our Lord built His Church on the Rock that was Peter (Mat 16:17-18). Peter's name means Rock. Our Lord changed Simon's name to Peter. The apostles refer to Peter as the prince, the one who holds the keys to the inheretence, which our Lord gave him the keys to heaven (Mat 16:19).
Saint Jerome (4th century) arguably the greatest bible scholar in Church history, who actually formed the first common bible (bibliography of holy scripture) had this to say about the church: "As I follow no leader save Christ, so I communicate with none but your blessedness, that is, with the Chair of Peter. For this, I know, is the rock on which the Church is built. ...This is the ark of Noah, and he who is not found in it shall perish when the flood prevails. ...And as for heretics, I have never spared them; on the contrary, I have seen to it in every possible way that the Church's enemies are also my enemies." (Manual of Patrology and History of Theology)
