"Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" Mathew 24:35 It sometimes amazes me when a person in which he bases his or her beliefs in, has errors...I have witness to Muslims and often times point to Bible versions and say how can you believe in that book when it has errors in them! I realize your not into this discussion per say, but I didn't want to close with a direct reference to a Bible version which you do use...Here is some examples... The NASB omits the following Scriptures: Acts 23:9, Romans 13:9, and Acts 8:37...A very popular scripture that is ommitted or part of it removed is in most newer versions is Acts 8:37. Jehovah Witnesses Bible has 8:37 listed but has no text of it just a line. Different Bible versions only draw confusion as they are not in even agreement with each other let alone with the most reliable manuscripts... I believe and always will, God is in control of all things (Proverbs 20:1; Mathew 28:18; 1Peter 3:22), and certainly directed man to keep all of His words that none passed away... I hold a book in my hand that contains no errors, I'm confident that God preserved it! Thanks for this discussion even though it was pretty brief and you are not really interested in this topic!
