while the bible technically is the word of god, remember it cannot possibly be perfect for two reasons

1. mortal men wrote the word of god and therfore, possibly fudged the wording, as no one is truly perfect

Well there is a biblical account of the flood and many other accounts that talk of 7 gods or 6 gods coming off a ship, or 6-7 gods who rule over a big flood, etc.

and second, there will be a lot of similar accounts in the bible, but not the exact same becaus of multiple peopl writing it down

The telephone game

Well no

None of these people knew about the other’s accounts, I believe.

exactly

It was from pure eye witnessing of a major flood.

Whether it be God or their gods.

while they may or may not have recieved from the same source, because they are different people in different places, there will be discrepancies

How many times has the Bible been translated again?

like a bajillion times

so,

a lot of differences

No, actually not many differences.

If any

huh

There aren’t, it was translated carefully and God preserved it.

i was under the impression that the overrall is pretty much the same, its just wording thats different

basically same sentence

different words

That’s why I don’t usually like ESV, NIV, ASV.

is there an officially recognized version that is agreed to be the most accurate?

@HeisRisen not knocking your faith but languages change and even passing through a single person can result in perception shifts. And minor changes can snowball. On top of that, didn't the Bible get translated by muslim Arabs at one point during the dark ages?

Just saying to err is to be human

The people weren’t perfect but the system in which they translated it was close to it.

I believe there were three different groups of people in different parts that all translated scripture

As Set Roth from Wolfenstein put it: "If God is testing us, we are failing gloriously."

And all three of them had the exact same after hundreds of years of translating.

@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty ah but the test isn't about passing or failing

But enduring

to be fair, he was refering to the situation of them being in Camp Belica

but yea

Also I’m not sure about Muslim Arabs, they had their own book and I highly doubt their version of the Bible ever made it.

i wish I could play more Wolfenstein's

but oh my gosh do they go hard 18+

I've only made it to the moonbase missions in the series

i swear there are europeans that played the game and assume thats what most americans are like

really?

what part
