Why you can Trust the Text of the New Testament
Posted : 17 Jun, 2010 11:59 AM

There are two reasons that the texts of the New Testament are trustworthy, and could NOT have been tampered with.



1. The explosion of the Christian faith all at once, leading to the texts being printed in several countries in several different languages.



2. The sheer AMOUNT of texts that were copied and distributed.



By the time there was ANY ecclesiastical authority, say 350AD at the very soonest, there was NO POSSIBLE WAY ALL the different texts could have been gathered up and altered in any way.



By that time, there were already texts that had been sealed in jars and buried in different lands, in different languages, and no one knew about them except the people who hid them!



What we HAVE found out, by finding these ancient texts in different times and places is the New Testament texts ALL AGREE WITH EACH OTHER, and therefore the texts of the New Testament ARE accurate and we DO HAVE THE SAME WORDS IN OUR BIBLE THAT THE EARLIEST CHRISTIANS DID.





In Christ,



James

that is because our lifes do go in ciecles PJ.We sin repent and sin again.

We do not believe in the whole truth so God has to show us whre we error at and improve our faith after gentle correction. Or if we refuse to listen then Jesus will use tougher measures to get our attention.

what Pixy is writing is from Jesus. It was meant as a message and it is beginning to take shape.

Pixy is a very wise young lady.

Wise as in the things of the Lord/ Jesus.

Too bad this forum does not have an ignore feature, where you can just set a person on IGNORE, so they can't respond to your posts and you can just make it so there words don't appear on the forum. Sometimes you have people who are helplessly negative and contentious, and who has no desire to STUDY THE SCRIPTURE. They only quote it and quote it with no desire to see what it means and how it applies to our lives.

If we had a ignore button how would Jesus reach the misguided in the forums?they need to hear the truth too friend.:peace: keep it up Pixy, I like your comments. Oh, by the way I was watching a bible movie Saterday and it ended with the statement, " And when Jesus sat on the right hand side of the father, (He) The Father gave Jesus all authority over Heaven and Earth.

WOW.:dancingp:

Take that for lunch friends and bank on it.

No Dennis that Spirit, has nothing to do with the lord, nor will it ever again. Jesus does not mock his own

Yep, just the fact the Old/New Testaments agree and demonstrate fulfilled prophecy is enough for me to believe them. The minutia that you can find in both sections of the bible, and even just the way the bible was constructed and preserved is proof enough.
