Why do some people try to change the bible holy bible of Jesus Christ written in hebrew is hard to find but I noticed some of the words have been removed and or replace with man's understanding or word they found to discredit the right words.can you explain

Hi larus The greatest challenge when it comes to Gods word is getting by what translators added or just didn't understand correctly, Gods word when originally given had no capital letters commas, question marks chapter headings, it was in manuscript form. Also the bible is an eastern book with eastern thought, in the Gospels Jesus Christ said it is easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Camel through eye of the needle is eastern thought. In light of that it is still The Truth as it says in 2 Peter 1:20+21 Holy men of God spake as they were moved by Holy Spirit. There are sources to help with this. God Bless

Hi Dianne , in London we have one of Cleopatra's needles , apparently , there were two of them outside Egyptian cities and all camels had to pass between them to entre the city but , the gap was very narrow so they had to unload their cargo that they were carrying in order to pass through the needles , so , the parable is basically about unburdening yourself of your worldly goods before you can enter the Kingdom of God .

English Sacha Its interesting you mention this another take I read from a book on eastern culture on this is in biblical times there was one large entrance to a city the gate and one small entrance behind it that was only large enough for a camel to go through with one rider on its knees, hence eye of the needle. I know that many things that Jesus Christ taught had eastern culture and thought tied to it. Thanks for the input its interesting. God Bless

Hi Larus, do you have some examples of what you believe was changed? I've seen a lot of people claim this previously, but 100% of the claims were due to a misunderstanding of one thing or another. Also, are you talking about the KJV or another translation?

Hi Adam I bring to you something to think about, I believe that the Bible as originally given Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by Holy Spirit 2 Peter 1:20+21. That being said look at 1 Samuel 1:3 the two sons of Eli Hophni and Phinehas the priest of the lord were there. In 1 Samuel 2:12 it says the sons of Eli were sons of Belial they new not the lord. So the question is which were they? No this is not a trick just food for thought.

If I could interject Dianne. Actually, when I read your comment, I thought that you were inferring something else. So forgive me if I've misunderstood, but just to state the obvious: Hophni & Phinehas were indeed the (biological) sons of Eli. Then in 1 Samuel 2:12, they being referred to as "sons of belial" was a derogatory term for people who were useless, worthless, or scoundrels. And so they were, as seen in the following verses (13-17). But you would have known that - though it might help Larus & others.

I appreciate the input Brother God Bless.

Looks like a trick to me. It appears to say different things and I don't see how you assume these are contradictory. Also, is your goal in posting this to sow doubt in others' minds? Is that what Jesus called you to do?

Adam The scriptures were not given in english and there were people helping to translate it, as I said I know the Bible as originally Given in 2 Peter 1:20+21 is given by inspiration of God. Also it is an eastern book with eastern thought that when brought to light makes it even deeper so no that has nothing to do with questioning the author. God Bless
