How Did We Get the Bible?
We cannot expect people to believe the story the Bible tells unless the Bible is a credible witness. Our Bibles are a translation based on thousands of Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic manuscripts. Those manuscripts are not the original texts written by the author, but were copied by countless scribes. This process the Bible has undergone from writing to copying to translating and interpreting is long and somewhat complicated, but it should actually give us even greater confidence about the reliability of our modern Bibles. (Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-21)
