This study guide deals with the question,
"Why are there so many different ideas, about the
Word of God?" Which book really is Gods word?
Is there reason behind all the different versions? Does
it matter if the words are changed? And will the message
remain the same?
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower
fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.

The new translators believe in a teaching
called "Dynamic Equivalancy", meaning the
translators get the message in the interpretation not
the exact word. While the King James translators believed
in a "Formal Equivalancy", meaning the actual
words translated from one language to another.
We will compare some of the actual wordings
to see if the newer translations actually are as they
claim, only trying to help in the understanding.
Did God promise to preserve the "Original
Autographs" [The originals that were penned by
the man of God used to write His word] or did His promise
relate to HIS WORDS as well as the "Original Autographs".
