  • Pslam 199:89 eternal
  • Pslam 199:152 lasts forever
  • Isaiah 40:8 stands forever
  • Matthew 5:18 stay accurate until end of time

How is the Bible different than other ancient writings in terms of accuracy?

  • still accurate when comparin a recent version to old copies - Sam
  • New Testiment has over 24,000 ancient copies, other books same age just has a few copies - Sam
  • Bible's earliest copy is very close to when original written - Sam
  • Every letter copied singly from original and carefully verified - Sam

Christian Defense

  1. Very carefully copied
  2. Today's translations are from the orginals
  3. Bible itself says it is accurate
  4. Copies written in columns, no overlapping letters allowed
