I believe there are errors and bias in the translation of scriptures. I believe that things were added to the original inspired scriptures. And I think it's been going on for a long time. 2Pe 3:16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

ALL: Here's a direct accusation (yet another) by DouglasKC...this time accusing some of the Biblical transmitters/translators (or both) of being "untaught and unstable" Scripture-twisters.

(This is kind of like the Mormon accusation that the Bible is a-OK "insofar as correctly translated"...yet we don't usually hear too much either from Mormons -- or Douglas -- which specific verses match their accusations...)

When people accuse the Scriptures of being twisted, they wind up asserting themselves as the authority of what it's "supposed to say."

Yet they have no direct evidence of what it's "supposed to say"...which usually means for those who make this type of accusation...is that the Bible simply doesn't agree with their theology...and it's easier to accuse the Bible of being wrong...versus themselves.

We seem to have an increased presence lately of those who either think scripture is insufficient and needs additions or who think scripture already has too many additions or errors. It should be known by all that those contentions should be red flags of deception coming. If we can’t rely on God preserving His word for us today as HE would have it we have nothing.

Let it be know by all that anyone who casts doubt on the infallibility of scripture as it has been handed down to us today in the original Hebrew and Greek language will by me be considered to be from Satan and not from God.

Which translation of scripture to you hold to be be inerrant and infallible?
