--- Quote from: Extol on August 27, 2009, 09:36:14 AM ---I was just reading last night [The Case for the Real Jesus by Lee Strobel] about all of the textual variants among the Greek N.T. manuscripts. In other words, hardly any of these variants change the Scripture at all.
The few mistakes that do change the text still are not terribly significant. These are different words and mean different things, but is the overall message changed? No. In Romans, the message is that peace comes through being justified by faith. In 1 John, joy comes through the writing of 1 John.
These minor differences do not change the foundational truths that we believe.

Lee Strobel could have just stayed out of the whole doctrinal arena where christians are concerned. He's as orthodox as all fundamentalist preachers. He believes in every false doctrine of the churches including eternal hell and the trinity (although he believes hell is in degrees. I guess the temperature is turned up for the Hitlers and such). He talks about today's bibles teach these fundamental truths that "we" believe. In fact, bibles never taught these fundamental laws that "we" (they) believe. And to say that the words forever and hell don't change the message as Strobel contends just shows how blind he really is. I don't believe Strobel does very objective research anyway.

Hi musicman,
I think you misunderstood my post. That was me writing, not Lee Strobel. I was telling Morten that most of the hundreds of thousands of mistakes and manuscript variants are of little consequence, and that hell/forever are the only major ones (plus some spurious additions). I'm aware that Mr. Strobel believes what orthodox Christianity teaches. I was simply listing that book as a source of where I got some of the information I posted.
musicman:
OK, it just sounds the same as what Stroble says.

We could throw numbers out all day... If you're looking for a 'perfect' translation, then there are 1,000s of them--the Original Manuscripts. All you gotta do is learn Ancient Hebrew and Greek.
...actually that's not 100% true because the Roman Catholic Church has contaminated many of the Originals by making additions and subtractions, hoping that nobody would ever notice... and nobody probably would have if it weren't for those darn Protestants.. ruined everything!
Dope! :o >:( :D
