All right, let's see. I'm just going through these Q&As trying to... There's 59 in there
right now. We've answered like 40, trying to get to as many as we can. I saw on Wikipedia
that the KJV translated from other sources other than the Greek and Hebrew. That is a
lie. It's false. It's historically inaccurate, and it can be demonstrated to be inaccurate.
Give me any verse you want to, and I will demonstrate to you that it is translated from
the original Hebrew and Greek. So that's just a complete myth, and it's false. Another person
said, well, can you point to a pure Bible version before the King James, or where were
the good Bible versions? The fact is that scriptures from before 1611, 99.9% of them
are gone because books don't last. Paper doesn't last. Scrolls don't last. So 99.99% of books
from the ancient world have not survived. So we don't really know what's out there.
There are tons and tons of Bible versions that have been lost forever, but the Word
of God has been preserved. We have it today. We have an accurate Greek text. We have an
accurate Hebrew text. We have an accurate English Bible. And there were all kinds of
good Bible versions that we could point to in languages that we don't understand, like
the Georgian and the Armenian and the Syriac and stuff. Obviously, we haven't learned all
those languages and read all those translations, and I'm sure there are tons more in other
languages that are just gone. But I will promise you one thing. The Word of God has
always been preserved in every generation. It's always been out there. It's been kept
pure in all ages, as the reformed confessional people would say, and that's true. It's been
kept pure in all ages. And it's kind of like this too. Wouldn't we say there's been an
unbroken chain of saved Christians?
Yep, definitely.
Or do we buy into this doctrine that says, oh, everybody was Catholic, and then the Protestant
Reformation happened?
No, we believe that there's always been people getting dunked underwater after believing
in Christ.
Well, Judas got so many people saved, so I guess it's possible, right?
But the point is, you know, there's always been saved people. There's always been people
getting dunked underwater, saved converts. But here's the thing. Some people will be
like, well, yeah, well, point me to a Bible-believing church in the 1100s.
I don't know. Who knows? We don't have to. It hasn't been preserved.
Point me to the right Bible in the 1100s.
It's like, you'd have to get in a time machine to do that. But don't we believe by faith
that there were saved people in the 1100s? And we believe by faith that the Word of God
was out there. It was being preached as being circulated. So where was it at? It was somewhere.
We don't know. But it was there. Just like I can't name for you every Bible-believing
preacher from John the Baptist until now to prove that it's an unbroken chain.
But the Bible does say that, you know, that the righteousness of God is revealed from
faith to faith. And so I, you know, obviously I believe, I agree with you, it's just as
much as a saved person is begetting another saved person, you got to have the Word of
God because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So how could you be revealed
from faith to faith if you don't, and if faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of
God, then the Word of God had to be there for that to happen.
