Well said, micro. And thank you for the biblical passages. Excellent work.

Many have attempted to change the words, add to, or subtract from God's words over the centuries. Even the scholars involved in the original King James version were not without flaw. They (or some of them) did not believe in the virgin birth of Christ, and thus translated those passages as 'a young maid'. But the original textus receptus remained, and is still used today for checking the accuracy of translations.

The wildly proclaimed Dead Sea Scrolls are another example - the argument was that because they were 'older' than any other 'copies' that they must be better. That of course ignored the obvious logical problem of 'Why do they still exist ?' - Could it be that they still exist because few ever used them because they were known to be extremely flawed at the time of their 'writing'/'copying' ? There is another example of a so-called 'oldest' version of a 'bible' found in an African 'church' (in Ethiopia I think) - which differed WILDLY from everything else ever preserved. Some attempted to pass this off as 'The Truth'. Serious scholars rejected it, completely. For good reasons.

There actually has been a lot of scholarly logic, thought, and science used in this area. God does not allow his Word to be corrupted.

As in the Garden, the snake will always continue attempting to twist and distort what God has actually said. Those that listen to the snake will be deceived.

An example - 'will surely die'. Twist, well they didn't die for hundreds of years. SO ? Did they die? Yes. The implication in the verse is that they would live forever, never die. BUT the verse does not state that, so an implication of that verse must NOT be treated as being 'what the bible' says. We must use the full 'context' (ie. ALL of the Word of God), and never, ever add to or subtract from what is actually there.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing of/by the Word.

GM De!

You are not alone in the population of Biblical skeptics and "cherry pickers" of certain passages. One cannot read scripture with any understanding without reading the entire contexts which means long before ya get to a verse and after as well. Then compare it to the contexts before it and after.

I can provide a LIST of the Translators by "company" of the most scholarly Latin and Greek professors in the world who were the translators of the ancient Hebrew and Greeks texts.. WHEN you know how we got the English language version from the Hebrew and Greek its accuracy is not questionalble.

Let me give you an OLD TESTAMENT Verse written by GOD'S Chosen Servant DAVID in Psalms, chapter 6 and verse 7.

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 

ALL of recorded WORDS of GOD and NON-recorded Words of GOD are PURE and TRUE. Many are commands. ALL are for OUR Benefit.

He does not LIE nor play tricks on us. An attribute of GOD is that HE CANNOT LIE. It is impossible due to HIS very NATURE that it is impossible for HIM to Lie.

HE gave to us instructions recorded and preserved thru HIS servants the Prophets and Apostles and chosen Men after looking upon their hearts, like David, Solomon for example.

Believe me when I tell you that you are not the only person I have known who has difficulty with accepting Biblical truth and inerrancy of the Scriptures.

This has been a long time game played for centuries back to the 1500's by those seeking to discredit the scriptures and change them.

The AUTHOR of the BIBLE is found right here in
Psalm 68:11

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. 

2 Peter 1: 21 says this regarding the origins of the Scriptures:

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 

You would do well to spend time SEARCHING the Scriptures for in them you will find truth and Life through faith in the ONE who not only gave those Words to HIS servants to record, but for all of mankind to have so that they may KNOW what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of GOD for all people". Romans 12 :2

Just a couple things to consider.
