One area that I struggled in faith was the area of the Bible.
· It’s been translated to many times
· It contradicts itself
· They pick and choose what they wanted to keep in
Any excuse you can think of, I probably said against the Bible.
It was tough for me to be convinced that it was true and right.
Even after I had faith, I still struggled to answer questions about the Bible contradicting itself.
I have a better idea now.
If you have questions about the Bible, message me.
Why I am going into this subject is a little section of scripture in John 7:53-8:11.
At the beginning of this section of scripture it says this…
“The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11.”
“Why is it in the Bible” is a common question.
The Bible Knowledge Commentary said this about the scripture…
“Almost all textual scholars agree that these verses were not part of the original manuscript of the Gospel of John. The NIV states in brackets that “The earliest and most reliable manuscripts do not have John 7:53-8:11.” The style and vocabulary of this passage differ from the rest of the Gospel, and the passage interrupts the sequence from 7:52-8:12. It is probably a part of true oral tradition which was added to later Greek manuscripts by copyists.”
So what it in in there?
Some scholars still claim this word is true, but would rather put this warning on it.
Better safe than sorry.
If you have any questions on the Bible, I will answer them and try to point you in the right direction.
The Bible is true, I believe in the word, and that it can change lives for the better when put in a practice.
Have a great day.
