Just Don't

I have some advice for everyone, don't make bets. I know gambling or betting any sum of money is a no-no for the Evangelical church, but I'm not necessarily talking about money. There are other things you could bet, such as who gets control of the remote, having to eat olives, or having to wear a Raiders shirt when you're a Broncos fan. It's just not worth it. Because the thing is, you might lose. I know, you think you can handle it and the consequences for someone else would be funny, but trust me, you could lose.

Now this post has nothing to do with anything else you see on this blog, especially not whatever comes right before this post, it's just some wisdom I think we should all follow. So no more betting Trevor! I mean, you guys.

I bet you don't know which Bible Version is the REAL word of God?

There are many different “Bible” versions today claiming to be the Word of God. Each one tells us that it is the most reliable, most accurate, etc. etc.. But which of them is God’s Word? Since they all disagree with one another, we can’t possibly say that they all are. Can we? Are we to suppose that God has written more than one Bible and that he makes statements in one and then disagrees with himself in another? No, of course not. God only wrote one Bible. How, then, do we go about determining which “Bible” is the Bible? If we look to human opinion for the answer, we will find nearly as many opinions as we find people. One person will like one. Another person will prefer another. Yet a third person will assure us that it really doesn’t matter, telling us that any of them will do just fine. Since we aren’t interested in human opinion here, we need to look to scripture for help in resolving this issue. There are two questions that we will need to consider. (1) Which are the correct manuscripts?
(2) Which is the proper translation of those (the correct) manuscripts?
