How is the Bible trustworthy when it has been translated so many times?

Answer 1

If the only problem for biblical reliability were translation errors, we could fix that and have a perfect and trustworthy Bible. The real problem is that even in the original Hebrew and Greek, the Bible exhibits inconsistencies and historical errors. For example, the biblical evidence that the world was created only six thousand years ago, in only six days, and that the earth existed before the sun, moon and stars, absolutely conflicts with scientific knowledge. This problem did not arise because The Bible has been translated but because the Bible was always in error.
