Brian,

I have plenty to say about all of this and perhaps we can have different post on this subject dedicated to different topics.

We don't have the originals thats true, but neither did Moses, David, Daniel, Peter, Paul, James etc.etc. but yet what they had was in fact the Inspired Word of God. And what they had all said the same thing. Today should we treat God's Word any differently? If our attitude today towards Gods Word was like that among the Jewish scribes what kind of Bible do you think we would have today?

The nonsense that we can receive the Gospel message in all 250 translations is a lie straight from the pits of Hell. If Jesus stood in the synagogue and said take out your NIV its does have some problems in it but we can still get some truth out it. And that's what's being said today and all for the love of $$$$$$$$$ it has nothing at all to do with the PURE WORD of GOD.
