[QUOTE="Pullman Brown, post: 6126957, member: 73012"] Faithful Translations Are Based on Reliable Manuscripts. Translations today use thousands of early manuscripts: Over 5,800 Greek New Testament manuscripts, 10,000+ Latin, and 9,300+ others (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, etc.) The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the accuracy of Old Testament texts over thousands of years. Modern translations (e.g., ESV, NASB, NIV, CSB) are the product of scholarly review teams using the earliest and most reliable manuscripts. The Bible has better manuscript evidence than any other work of ancient literature—far more than Plato, Aristotle, or Homer. And… God not only inspired Scripture but preserved it. Isaiah 40:8 — “The word of our God will stand forever.” Through centuries of manuscript copying, translation, and canon discernment, God has preserved His Word through fallible people. This doesn’t require every copy or translation to be perfect, but that the core message and truth is reliably accessible. [/QUOTE]
