I find most people today use the New International Version [NIV]of the Bible. Do you believe it is the inspired work of God?

Which one is accurate?

Are they different?

Does it really matter?

The Living Bible is touted as "convenient and varied". . . indeed! it's also "best loved and most easily read" and "it takes only 10 minutes a day" no muss. .no fuss. .no bother. .

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. . . . . . . 1 Thessalonians 5:21

Do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God?

Do you believe He has kept it safe and secure for man through all the ages?

Do you also believe that satan has the ability to decieve people into believing a lie?

If you said yes to all these questions then you must admit that some Bibles may be right on the mark and others may be poor translations, right?

Revelation 22:18-19

Jesus, I accept you as my Savior. I ask that you wash away my sins, though they be many, and take this burden of guilt off my shoulders. I pray you send the Holy Spirit to fill me and help me to grow in faith. I also accept you as the Lord of my life. I ask to be taught to have a humble and kind heart. I ask for patience and endurance. When I am weak, I beg for your strength. when I am strong, I glorify you because it is all from you, lord. Refine me in your fire that I may shine like pure silver, reflecting your perfection to all men, so that seeing me they may see you. Keep me strong until the end. Come lord Jesus. Amen
