The Holy Spirit inspired men to record what God had
said and done, since most people can't read or write Hebrew and
Greek, this was translated for us. The various accounts of families,
marriages, battles, personal victories and moral failures have all
been preserved by the Lord. Nothing should be marginalized as every
word is important, preserved for the express purpose of sharing this
information with us. At the same time, Satan also moved upon men to
mistranslate the Bible to fit a certain doctrines. Roman Catholicism
is one such example. Yet the Word of God is eternal. It is therefore
essential to examine each word and sentence to discern what God
stated thousands of years ago and how it still applies today. Jesus
wanted to make sure the Bible was protected, and the last thing He
did was to warn people about adding or subtracting from the Word of
God. Adding to Scripture will lead to sickness, while subtracting
Scripture will result in a loss of salvation and sentence the
offender to the Lake of Fire. God is serious about the reliability
and integrity of the Bible and He wants you to esteem it as the Word
of God. |
