"Why so many different ideas
about the Word of God?"
I guess the question should state what is the word
of God? Much of the confusion today arises out of
the difference in so many books that claim to be the
word of God. [Holy Bible] Most Christian’s claim
to believe "What the Bible says" yet with
so many books claiming to be the Bible we have nothing
but confusion among the different denominations as
well as among those of the same church, because they
use a different book. Satan was the originator of
substituting his words for the word of God. He has
not given up during our generation and is still busy
trying to confuse those like Eve, who will listen
to him.
Matthew 4:4 (KJV 1611)
{Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.}
We need to renew our concept of which
book is God’s word. While most people will say
they believe in the inspiration of the Bible, most won’t
go into what they consider the Bible to be. [If they
are not the same – they are not the same] for instance
the New International Version (NIV) and New American
Standard Bible (NASB) have left out over 64,000 words.
If your employer omitted $64.00 from your pay last week,
would it matter to you? Jesus said every word. Many
people say they believe the "Original Autographs"
were the inspired word of God and then God left it up
to man to do the preservation and translation into the
different languages. There is no doubt that the "Original
Autographs" were "God Breathed", but
do you think a God who could give "Verbal Inspiration"
in the Original’s would not also miraculously "Preserve"
His word for all mankind into the different languages
of the world.
Matthew 24:35 (KJV1611)
{For verily I say unto you. Till heaven
and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.}
Jesus even went so far as to say not a
jot (the smallest letter) or tittle (a tail from a single
letter) would change. If this is true then preservation
was not left up to mankind, but promised from and of
God.
Psalms 12:6-7 (KJV1611)
{The words of the Lord are pure word;
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven
times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve
them from this generation forever.}
In the next few paragraphs we will look at the difference
in the translation into the English language as well
as the translators, along with why we have so many that
say so much that is "NOT THE SAME".

Why so many different ideas about the Word of
God?
Why do we have so many different English translations?
What are some of the different translations and
the difference between them?
Who are some of the different translators and
the difference between them?
Is there a bigger plan behind the new translations?
Is the King James Version the only Bible?
