The claims of Scripture are far above and beyond any other book—inspired by God, without error, unchanging, unfailing. In a word, supernatural.

The Bible says in 2 Peter 1:20-21: “know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”

Or how about Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

Put together, God directed the authors what He wanted to communicate and God’s Word powerfully accomplishes God’s desires in the human heart.

Now consider that the 66 books of the Bible were authored by 40 men over a span of 1500 years in three languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic) on three continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe). The original manuscripts written by these 40 authors no longer exist but thousands of full or partial copies of the original books do exist. Nearly 25,000 copies of the New Testament alone exist. Compare that to Homer’s Iliad with only 2000 copies. The existence of so many copies of Scripture allows them to be compared to each other to authenticate accuracy. In other words, more copies results in more certainty.

The Bible has also been translated from its original languages into hundreds of languages, with dozens of translations and paraphrases in the English language alone—King James Version, Geneva Bible, New American Standard, English Standard Version, New International Version, and on and on.

Taking all this into consideration, is the Bible we have in our English language today an accurate representation of what the authors of Scripture wrote or has there been significant loss of the text during its transmission from original manuscripts? And what about the many English versions—are they fully trustworthy to be considered the Word of God?

Josh Barzon has done much research on the transmission and translations of the Bible. He was born in the Middle East and now lives in America, working as a content creator, graphic designer, and author of The Forgotten Preface: Surprising Insights on the Translation Philosophy of the King James Translators.

He joins us to discuss the supernatural Scriptures and how God has preserved His Word precisely over the centuries so that can know when you read the Word of God, you can know you are hearing from the God of the Word.

TOPIC: Your Feedback: Is President Trump Making America Great? (and What You Made of Thursday’s Judiciary Hearing Regarding Judge Brett Kavanaugh)

For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish, and the nations will be utterly ruined.  Isaiah 60:12 Last week on the program, we examined the question, “Is President Trump Making America Great” (as per his campaign slogan to “Make America Great Again”). We first looked at whether America [...]

TOPIC: Is Trump Making America Great?

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.  Proverbs 14:34 Back in August, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo stated, ”We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.” This is the sentiment of many on the political left, who view America as historically and structurally [...]

TOPIC: Why The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel?

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?  Micah 6:8 “Social justice is a gospel issue.”  If you’ve heard this said once recently, you’ve likely heard it dozens of times. [...]

TOPIC: Eternal Security: Once Saved, Always Saved?

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:38-39 The last [...]

TOPIC: Make America Great Again … Or Was It Never Great?

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.  Psalm 33:12 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) said at a bill signing event this past week, "We're not going to make America great again.  It was never that great.” Of course the impetus [...]
