Is the bible still complete and intact?

[Roro1972]

Many of the numbers recorded in the so called Greek Septuagint are completely off, and nobody follows them; Well, in a few cases some Looney Tunes Versions do, as we shall see. Here are a few examples:


In the Genesis account of the age of men before the flood the LXX has completely different numbers. The Hebrew Scriptures state in Genesis 5:25 that Methuselah lived 187 years and begat Lamech. However the LXX says that Methuselah was 167 years old and changes the rest of the numbers too. However both the Hebrew and the LXX agree that the age of Methuselah was 969 when he died. But by the LXX reckoning, Methuselah didn’t end up dying until 14 years AFTER the flood of Noah. Since he was not on the ark with Noah and his family, that makes for a very long time for Methuselah to have been treading water.
When Jesus taught on Earth in the synagogues to Jews; did he use the LXX or Hebrew Writings?

But brother, removed from where?

like I said Bill when I read 4 bible verses at same time and all but one remove God or Jesus out of there version I choose the version with God or Jesus left in the verse. I realise I can not change some ones mind so i am not trying to; just posting what I believe. that's why we are all here to voice our beliefs and learn.

I'm sorry but you are not being concise and just as I have asked others in the past, if I were to be foolish enough to believe any English translation were the standard for all other English versions to be measured against, I would declare that to any person that entered into a conversation with me about the matter and I would be prepared to passionately defend my position.

You are trying to convince me you are not posting opinions and yet I am left with no other conclusion to draw because, like the opinionated atheist that I once was, you are practicing being, just, that slippery. Short of complete honesty, further discussion between us in this string is just an exercise in futility and there is too much to do for that.

Yes Bill my post are my opinions. I can post many articles a friend has written about the bible versions if it were my mission to change you to kjv. it is not my mission to change you.

I am not trying to change you, not my mission! I "was" trying for an intelligent conversation but you kept running into the briars down rabbit trails leading to other rabbit trails.

Shalt thou not read thine own God's words? For verily it is written that my words shall not pass away...so shouldest thine affectations to be enamoredest of same be focusedest on the samest wordseth?



I liketh the King James versioneth for was I weanedeth on the sameth. Lol...

I would probably read the KJV if I could understand it, but for now I stuck with the easy to understand english version. But hey either way its all good, the words may vary but the message and point stays the same. Not like some critics who call it 'corruption', lol, thats not even worthy of a debate.

...Wow, I don't think I ever heard of someone referring to the KJV as God. I can see where someone might take John 1:1 as meaning God, but I believe that the person who said that, either didn't have a good grasp on the whole counsel of God, or that was only the beginning of some pretty weird doctrines.

It's very true that they obviously have no grasp on the whole counsel of God. That's putting it mildly. But I've come across a hanful of people now who are KJV only and who proclaim this very thing, that the book they hold in their hands is literally their god. And in the epitome of hypocrisy these are always the very same people that vehemently condemn those who pray to statues or worship Mary!

O boy, you sure said a mouthful my friend. The King James only folk have a good position but a few take it way to far as you say. They don't realize it but they make their Bible an idol that they worship and that's wrong.
