Bible Translations

The purpose of this section is to give a brief overview of the various translations of the Holy Bible available today. A great debate exists today over which Bible translation is more reliable. Most modern translations contain the necessary information for one to be spiritually saved. In some cases the differences between the translations are not enough to disregard or dispose of the translation all together. In some cases, though, the translations are so far removed from God's original message that serious thought must be given by Christians in using these translations.

As you read through these articles, please do so with an open mind and heart. God promised to preserve his word as seen in Psalm 12:6-7

"The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
