The bible was written over thousands of years, most of the Old Testament in Hebrew (parts in Aramaic), and the New Testament written in Greek. \nThe problem is that languages change with time and misuse, so old books need retranslating to maintain accuracy (i.e. does the translation mean to a modern reader in the translated language what it did to a contemporary reader in the ancient language).\nModern Greek is different from 1st century Greek. Modern Hebrew is different from ancient Hebrew. US English is different from UK English. Egyptian arabic is different from Modern Standard Arabic.\nwww.biblegateway.com has 19 English translations plus lots of other languages, including Arabic. Most translators work from the oldest texts available in the original languages. Some of these are very, very old.\nFor a demo of some of the difficulties translators face, paste a paragraph into http://babel.altavista.com/tr, ask it to translate it into a different language, then cut & paste it back in to translate it back into the start language and see what you get.\nThere is some useful stuff about bible translation on www.ibs.org.\nIn the 2nd letter from the apostle Paul to Timothy chapter 3 he wrote:-\n    14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,\n    15 and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.\n    16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,\n    17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.\n\nFind an up to date translation (e.g. NIV or NKJV in English) or Arabic if you find it easier, read it with an open mind and you will be blessed.\n\nShukran for your question.

No.  They've been predicting it forever now.  See the link below for just how many times.  Every generation thinks it is, pointing to passages in the bible that match something going on.  Hasn't happened yet and won't happen.

How long do you think it will be before a person or group successfully reassembles the bible to include recently discovered religious texts that they feel better suit modern times?\n\nNever.  For all practical purposes, the Bible as now been “set in stone.”\n\nWhat do you think about this?\n\nI believe that those who tend to be the loudest on this topic have either done the least amount of study or have very extensive time invested in their current belief.  Most claim as articles of fact pieces of information which are not true.  Less than one in one billion (if any) could give me that actual names of the men who met to determine which books and works were included in either Testament.  Yet they propose that these men were inspired by G-d to make these choices for all time.  They are seem to ignore that most works which were not included were systematically searched for and burned as heretical.  The mere fact that any remain after 2000 years is a miracle.\n\nWhat will the cultural/spiritual ramifications of this be?\n\nA continuation of our current position.  As beautiful as the KJV is to read, it is flawed.  This fact has been shown over and over again by scholars who do know the languages involved.  Yet look at the number of supporters that it has.  The sad part of this is that many who claim to understand the meaning of the KJV of the Bible (which is a very serious and metaphysical work) do not understand and cannot follow a simple Shakespearean play (which is light entertainment) that was written at about the same time.  What does this yell you about the ignorance of humans?  And ignorance is bliss.\n\nIf God is really solely responsible for the bible's contents why does he have hundreds of millions of Christians using different versions?  And how would a new version be any worse?\n\nThose humans who claim to be privileged to the plans or purposes of Divinity are deluded.  No human has that capability.  Only Divinity is perfect.  Humanity is arrogant, not understanding that the message is important, not the delivery of the message.  Those that must quote scripture for every answer (especially those claiming that it is the Word of G-d) are probably idolaters.  They have worshipped the written word instead of Divinity.  Each believing that they are right and all others wrong.  They are the cause of the fragmentation of the Church and people like them are usually too stubborn to see their own sins.\n\nA new version of the Bible is not needed.  These recently discovered and translated works should be made available to the widest reading audience for study and debate.  At least by those who are capable of understanding that Humanity did not have the message right then and still is lacking in understanding.  This is human nature.  Divinity is the only proper judge; and Divine Judgment, unlike human opinion and understanding, IS perfect.

I have been reading about that as of late and find it interesting.  plausible. The bible has seen a lot gone through a lot in that i mean translations.  It also stands that some books were purposely left out.  With that in mind I don't feel it proves with out a shadow of a doubt that its true.  However it does leave enough room for the thought and probability.

Well Its to bad they don't understand. I don't like to see any walk in darkness. What they should understand is there has been a steady attack on the scriptures for as long as they have been around and by much better scholars than most or maybe any who have ever visited this site. Higher Criticism subjected it to all kinds of scholarly attack along with most of today's "institutions of higher learning". No book has been examined more closely than the Bible and no work could ever stand under that kind of attack. Yet the Word stands and carries on and the old saying that the shovel always verifies the Word remains true.

No. There has been too much lost in the numerous translations. And I would question your statement about the book being in existence for 'thousands' of years. The new testament and the gospels were not instantly assembled upon the death of Jesus of Nazareth. The old testament was passed on by word of mouth long before the books were written.  Compound these necessary flaws with the council of cardinals who decided which books were going to be part of the bible and which books were not, and the church's practice of censoring anything that did not agree with doctrine, and you have a less than perfect product.

I belive they have updated.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

Bible Accuracy Verified\n\nAlthough the Bible is a very old book, it is noteworthy that many ancient Bible manuscripts verify it. There are literally thousands of these ancient manuscripts in libraries and private collections throughout the world. They prove that today’s Bible has withstood the ravages of time and has been accurately copied and transmitted down to our day.\n\nThis can be checked out. For instance, the long-existing Institute for New Testament Textual Studies in Germany has made about 95 percent of its approximately 5,300 handwritten copies of the Christian Greek Scriptures available for scientific study, either on microfilm or in picture form. Thus the interested visitor, whether layman or scientific expert, can be shown, under expert guidance, just how exact the transmission of the Bible text down to our 20th century has been. The interval between the time the Christian Greek Scriptures were originally written and the writing of the oldest extant papyrus manuscripts is very short, not more than 25 years.

Not only that, but *originals* for the vast majority of books in the bible haven't existed for thousands of years.  All the translators have to work from are copies of copies of copies of copies...\nOh, but of course, we *know* that nobody made any errors, changes, or intentional additions or deletions when they made those hand-written copies, right? ;-)\n\nForget about the actual content, OF COURSE there are errors in just getting what's called the bible into your hands from the people who originally wrote the books.  Anyone who thinks there are no errors of any kind in the bible is very, very deluded.

It's entirely possible. The bible (both OT and NT) borrow liberally from other religions and mythology.

sneak in and change the pope's bible... then go back in time and change what Mohammed wrote (maybe sneak in after he went to sleep and change it)... there you go... problem solved

It's absurd to believe that ANYTHING passed down for hundreds of years, and translated into hundreds of languages could be EXACTLY the way it was in it's original form. Not to mention that there are now different versions of the bible, King James Version, etc. \n\nLike now with all the hype over the Da Vinci code, people should ask questions and understand the origin of the religion that they believe so deeply in instead of just following it blindly.

You are right!\n\nAnd do you know that they are teaching that languages were not created at the Tower of Bable but that they "evolve" as well?\n\nWe need to get the Bible back into the schools!\n\nGod bless

I have ran into some of these KJ only folks before. They are arrogant in their belief that they are superior to others who do not believe as they do. The Bible says knowledge puffs up but love edifies. They believe that all English versions are corrupt except for the KJ version. First of any English version is not technically as accurate as the original Bible languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. Secondly, they fail to realize the even the KJ has been thur several updates itself- just open a KJ up and look at the copyright page that will state various years of editions copyrighted. If some one is going to be so hard-lined that they will not tolerate others who have different view then themselves-best to save your breath and time and let god deal with them.

Any book that denies or trys to change or add to the written Word of God is a danger to read.  Stick with the orininal Bible It worked in peoples lives for 1000's of years so why try to change it. Is it becuase people in the 21st century think that they know more than God?

No. god decided to contradict himself by taking away free will for a bit, so he could get the humans to write his book for him.\nAnd of course, that's ignoring all the inconsistancies in the new testament, like made up prophesies and the evidence to support that the old testament was actually copied from ancient Sumerian stone tablets...\n\n:)\n\nTY, shawny  :D
