Isn’t the Bible Full of Errors?

The Scriptures have more historical support than any other ancient document we have today. And that, by a lot.

I can't believe how this came up. I was having my morning devotions and I was reading a Greek interlinear bible. I also was praying that God would reveal something to me to help my faith in the Bible. As I was reading it I got a notification that John Piper just posted a video on YouTube called isn't the Bible full of errors. And I amazed how it became apparent that God heard my prayer and said heres something for you. The interlinear bible is helpful, if you want to research each word to compare it to context in the Bible, as long as you understand the way it was written in the time. Unfortunately many don't, so looking for proof through this means can be somewhat unhelpful if we don't understand the full history of the language. We now rely on the translations of upstanding scholars to interpret it faithfully. I have found a couple versions that do it well. This video seemed to be a direct answer to prayer for me in my morning devotions and I am thankful to God for hearing my cry for faith building in a way I did not expect at the exact moment I ask for it. God is good

Amen! God Bless Dr. Piper for this wonderful truth about the reliability of Scripture.

Good thing Josephus manuscripts survived to validate that the end times did indeed happen as Jesus said it would. Thank God no one is talking about the error of end times today. Praise Jesus for supporting texts!

I am unsure of my salvation because I do not seem to delight in God or feel any love for Him. I obey Him out of obligation and fear of Hell, rather than obeying out of love. So what do I do now? How do I make myself feel the emotions that are necessary for salvation? Since I am asking God to give me those emotions and I am still not feeling them, does that mean that I am not one of the elect?

John Piper often speaks of how delighting in God and treasuring Him above all else is necessary in order to go to Heaven, but what should one do if they do not delight in Him or treasure Him? I'm beginning to lose hope and I think I may be a lost cause.

The Holy Scriptures are perfect representation of God's Holiness and Character.

I’m sorry but when the Bible can’t even agree on when Jesus was born? The rest is highly suspect!!

The information on manuscript evidence is perhaps decades out of date. We are finding more and more manuscripts, including ancient ones for both non Christian as well as Christian texts. I think the Illiad is over 1300 now, and many are the ancient fragments. Of course no complete text for any ancient document predates about 700 AD. But among the thousands of fragments found, if changes had been made we continually keep missing the parts that had the changes.

Only needed to hear last 10 sec....kidding. Glad he's thorough.

I love Pastor John’s ministry, but most scholars would agree we actually don’t know who wrote the Gospels. Although all point to Jesus being divine and Messiah, it’s likely Matthew, Mark, Luke and John did not write the letters.

If it is full of erroneous information or demonstrably false doctrines, it is not "word of God". Period.

Guys copy errors should not bother you. Of course, the bible was written by people and people make mistake. And, the kind of errors we talking about are variation issues, which is like punctuation. How can you not expect variation errors, when you have to copy a manuscript over thousands times. Unless they are not coped by humans.

There are around 800, 000 words in the KJV of the Bible! It contains millions upon millions of individual alphabetical letters! Any errors are minor and do not change doctrine!

"The text is changing. Every time that I make an edition of the Greek New Testament, or anybody does, we change the wording. We are maybe trying to get back to the oldest possible form but, paradoxically, we are creating a new one. Every translation is different, every reading is different, and although there’s been a tradition in parts of Protestant Christianity to say there is a definitive single form of the text, the fact is you can never find it. There is never ever a final form of the text."
- Bible scholar David C. Parker

Always learning yet never coming to a knowledge of the truth…
These “scholars” will affirm a questionable document, with very limited resources, yet doubt and even express disdain for documents that have almost 6, 000 manuscripts and fragments. Wow

"The Scriptures have more historical support than any other ancient document we have today."

Can you present historical support for any of the miracles in the Bible?

If I want to become a Christian which local church is is best to go to to find out? Catholic, Methodist, Anglican, Baptist, Unitarian or seventh day Adventist? Confusing. I've heard one guy say Anglican but another says Catholic, but family are Methodists or evangelicals, whilst my other friend is Baptist. I don't get all the differences or how you decide which is 'right'?

I love Jesus too and im not arrogant to not accept the truth but why are you so sure and how could i be so sure . Everything About christianity is written years after Jesus died how could you be so sure they didn’t fabricated the whole thing . Second of all you jumped to the conclusion that Jesus is god and in the books he never clearly claimed divinity, and what’s with the pop and priests forgive your sins (they are humans like me) .
And how could someone moral and righteous on isolated island who never managed to come in contact with christianity go to hell while a killer/rapist who believes in Jesus eventually goes to heaven. And is god three or one and why is this complicated concept and why are so sure that god is three is this all according to the gospel, and why animals has to suffer for us and is the story of noa not taken from other metholigy, and why so many denominations does Jesus wants for christians to divide and who is right and why the other believers in Jesus has to go to hell too many questions i will humble myself and search for the truth if there is any but someone has to ponder these questions

+StuntedShadow..Jesus did not say the bible was breathed out by God. . Paul Said it. Jesus is my God and my Savior. Paul is not God. You are welcome to him. I believe Jesus.
