It is a pretty sad commentary, when one believes God made the atom, God made the Universe and everything in it. BUT he could not put some ink on paper!

Why is it so difficult for some to believe that our "Living God" can preserve His "Living Word"? I find it
incredulous that prophecy after prophecy comes to pass along with the fact that He is faithful to keep His Word in the lives of His ppl and yet there is this ongoing strife (which is as bad as adultery so far as God is concerned) about the veracity of His written Word.  Are we headed back to the council of Toulouse (1229AD) which forbid the use of the Bible to what they termed "laymen" - What PROOF would you find acceptable Bill?

It's great evidence, I agree -- but it's not proof. I am content to trust the evidence and not make assertions beyond it.
Why is this to deny the authenticity of the Word? Bill
 

As Kevin has pointed out, the agreement between all the copies verifies the authenticity of the originals. This is only hard to understand if you are wishing to deny the authenticity of the Word.  Izzy

Dear JD,
Please be notified that the FIRST copy of scripture, written by the FIRST writer (ie: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) was THE ORIGINAL.  There definitely WAS one, whether you have a copy in your sweaty little hand or not.  Love, Izzy

This makes me think Lance is right.   If there were no "originals,"  there would have been no Bible  ( I can't believe I am having to point this out).   OF COURSE  I KNOW THIS.   What you don't know is that without these origianls, one cannot make any real conclusions about "inspiration" and these manuscripts.  JD
