This sentiment should be stickied!!!

It is frustrating, but no malice is intended by the poster.

The sticky could contain a tutorial on how to post for we, the unSocial.

I would say, regardless of translation, that when one accepts Christ, he is imbued with the Holy Spirit who gives us discernment and wisdom.

He will make known to you the Truth.

He will cause untrue words uttered to bypass and for the Truth to be heard, realized and internalized.

Jesus said the Holy Spirit will give one what to say when asked the reason for one's faith.

Good words:

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. "

"Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.

Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:12‭, ‬16‭-‬21

Wow...huge storm hitting now! 97°...supposed to be 80° tomorrow...hmmm. Tighten up, fren!

Many Christians believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God. As do i.

It has maintained its base message and text for over 3000+ years, because it is His word and he won't allow it to be besmirched, so to speak.

He IS God so it's not improbable that the Bible has been preserved per his sovereign will.

Paul didn't, or maybe he did via revaltion, know that his letters would be included when he wrote them.

All the prophets, apostles, etc, believed the Old Testament to be infallible, as well.

Even Jesus quoted from it many times, as He is the Word.

John 1:1, for example.:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1-5

Thanks for the discussion,fren!

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16‭-‬17 ESV

https://bible.com/bible/59/2ti.3.16-17.ESV

It's ok to disagree. But this is what I've found to be true. It IS a supernatural book.

ESV per experience and translation is"word for word", rather than "thought-for-thought"

“Formal equivalence” – a word for word rendering of the original language into whatever language the reader needs, i.e. English. Every effort is made to retain both the word order and sentence structure of the original Hebrew or Greek.

“Functional equivalence” – more of a ‘thought for thought’ rendering of the original text. Also referred to as ‘dynamic equivalence’. The goal here is to produce in the reader’s language (i.e. English) the closest equivalent in both meaning and style of the original Hebrew and Greek (and Aramaic).
