Do you believe any human ever added any false information to the Bible either intentionally or unintentionally?

Possibly with ';new translations'; that were written by different people in like the new age movement etc.





There comes a warning with that though in the following scripture:





Do not alter (delete or add to) God's Word





';You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.'; Deuteronomy 4:2





';...if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.'; Galatians 1:9-10








';For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you may well put up with it!'; 2 Corinthians 11:4 [I.e. don't tolerate heresy]





';Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.'; Deuteronomy 12:32





';Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.'; Proverbs 30:5-6





';If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.'; Revelation 22:18-19Do you believe any human ever added any false information to the Bible either intentionally or unintentionally?
I think some translators could have possibly inserted some of their own bias as to the interpretation, but no, I don't believe that any humans has ever added information.





It is important to check the original Greek where interpretations seem like they might have been influenced by bias.For example, the NIV says in Matthew 5;17 that Jesus didn't come to abolish the law. However, Ephesians 2:15 says he did abolish the law. When I checked the original greek for the word translated ';abolish,'; I found out that it is acutally 2 different Greek words with slightly different meanings. Also, in the King James, Proverbs 31:10 translates a word into ';virtuous';, possibly because it was talking about a woman. All 3 places that this word is tranlated vituous is when it is talking about a woman. Most other places, this word is translated as strength and valor, not virtue.





Thus, it is important to go to the original Greek sometimes.Do you believe any human ever added any false information to the Bible either intentionally or unintentionally?
Bible scholars have irrefutable proof that the story of Jesus saving the prostitute (the ';cast the first stone'; story) was not originally in the Bible and was added much later.


Whoever made that up certainly told a good moral story there. It's just a pity it had nothing to do with Jesus.
Just check the earliest Christian Bible found, the Codex Sinaiticus which dates from 5th century--has over 30,000 variants in changing and editing what the copyist believed was right or wrong, even with doubt they went with their ';feelings'; ... check on line ...I have over 22 various ';editions'; of the NT and they don't agree. Look up the oldest gospel Codex Tchacos which is also online, it liberate Judas as the bad guy %26amp; makes sense, as the people that had to rush and put a book together were at war with 100 various Christian sects and the Arians were the majority until the First Church Council of Nicaea in 325 ce, when the decided 'Who is Jesus'; and ';What is the triinity';, even the last supper deal was confused with Pesach Shani because no one knew Judaism and ended up believing in the transubstantiation around 1200 ce. Check yourself.
No every human who tinkered with it was instructed by God and was perfect and flawless like all Christians are. That includes the kings and priests and shepherds and goatherders all of whom were chosen by God and though we do not know who they are we must believe that they were chosen by God and immaculate in every way and they did not make any errors at all.
no. neither. because they were inspired by the holy spirit. the Bible is inerrant meaning there are no errors in the teachings of the Bible. there might be spelling mistakes, as it was written by human beings, and we are not perfect. but the teachings are from God. so they are inerrant.
if there was any error in the word of god when jesus walk on this earth he would have corrected but he said to the father your word is truth,and the disciples are the one that put the new testament together and jesus to told them he would bring to their remberance what to write down, and for one to be a desciple they had to be with jesus all through his teaching, and be there at his death on the cross and be there at his resurection, when some one does not relize the differens between the old law and the new covenant jesus ushered in at his death, under the old law if you dont forgive your brother then god will not forgive you, contrast, but under the new covenant we are to forgive our brother as christ has forgiven us totaly,read hebrews 10:16,18
obviously,





as the only other choice would be that a deity intentionally put all of that false, contradictory, and confusing information in there. So, between the two choice, one make obvious sense, the other doesn't
Definitely.....My 1880 Family Bible has the Books that were omitted in later versions.......The Bible is a great Propaganda 'Book', but it is One of the best guidelines for correct Human Behavior.....!!
Sure. The KJV has ton of human additions/removals/changes. People are imperfect. It happens.
Yes because it was written in latin and sometimes it doesnt make sense on how its worded so I think it was more translation or lost in translation :)
Yes; otherwise, all Bible translations wouldn't have contradictions with each other.
I believe the whole thing is false information.
Obviously.
Blasphemy
It's possible.
Of course....both actually.
Yea the whole thing. Who do you think wrote it, Giraffes?
oh yes!!





more than . we will ever know...
