WHAT IS "THE WORD OF GOD"? Is it our KJV or the NIV , or some other translation paraphrase ? Is it the Dead Sea Scrolls and the other thousands of other manuscripts found over the centuries ? What exactly "IS" The Word of God ?
I pose this question because I'm always critical about other versions of the Bible. I love the KJV and feel why "tamper" with it , it's been fine for 400 years. My brother likes to look in other paraphrases and frankly some just butcher the KJV ..... like The Message bible he refers to frequently. Every time I criticize it he tries to tell how the KJV is also far from being an accurate translation of the original transcripts.
So please , how would YOU define or explain "what exactly is "The Word of God" ?
