Isnt it if people add or remove words in the Holy Bible that is already written, they will have their share for trying to corrupt the word of God? like translations are understandable but ultimately there is one truth.<br />

I stick with one bible sometimes look up other versions online... i talk to God to tell me what I need to know lol if that makes sense he teaches me everything. I have tried other books but I am always reminded to stick with his word for the truth and about everything that I want to know and serve the Lord and recognize Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
In the end I rely on God's voice and listen to what Jesus tells me to do. I look to the word whenever I am asked to and I read a chapter everyday and find other versions like 2 or 3 to compare and see if I understood the same thing pretty much for me the truth of God withstands. Sometimes I make a fool out of myself for trying to test God's own voice that I hear all the time and Jesus laughs at me but in a loving way. Tis good they warned me lol<br />

The Greek translation of the Old Testament, called the Septuagint, also confirms the accuracy of the copyists who ultimately gave us the Massoretic text. The Septuagint is often referred to as the LXX because it was reputedly done by seventy Jewish scholars in Alexandria around 200 B.C. The LXX appears to be a rather literal translation from the Hebrew, and the manuscripts we have are pretty good copies of the original translation.<br />

<br />
Conclusion<br />
In his book, Can I Trust My Bible, R. Laird Harris concluded, "We can now be sure that copyists worked with great care and accuracy on the Old Testament, even back to 225 B.C. . . . indeed, it would be rash skepticism that would now deny that we have our Old Testament in a form very close to that used by Ezra when he taught the word of the Lord to those who had returned from the Babylonian captivity."{4}<br />
<br />
The New Testament<br />
<br />
The Greek Manuscript Evidence<br />
There are more than 4,000 different ancient Greek manuscripts containing all or portions of the New Testament that have survived to our time. These are written on different materials.<br />
Papyrus and Parchment<br />
<br />
During the early Christian era, the writing material most commonly used was papyrus. This highly durable reed from the Nile Valley was glued together much like plywood and then allowed to dry in the sun. In the twentieth century many remains of documents (both biblical and non-biblical) on papyrus have been discovered, especially in the dry, arid lands of North Africa and the Middle East.<br />
<br />
Another material used was parchment. This was made from the skin of sheep or goats, and was in wide use until the late Middle Ages when paper began to replace it. It was scarce and more expensive; hence, it was used almost exclusively for important documents.<br />
<br />
Examples<br />
<br />
1. Codex Vaticanus and Codex Siniaticus<br />
<br />
These are two excellent parchment copies of the entire New Testament which date from the 4th century (325-450 A.D.).{5}
