Tancu,
You wrote, [... debate...would lead to no where...]
I agree. I recognise that the bible is the printed word of God to those that say that it is to them. I recognise that others have other books that they also say are divinly inspirered and I respect that. I also agree with you that the bible has been translated and that the translation could be suspect to tampering.
There is a poster here that wrote that the bible is the word of God to them [if the translation is correct]. So what you wrote is true, that the translations can be translated differently.
I can only tell what I have experianced. My experiance brought me and the Word of God into a meeting [spiritually]. I had no great knowelege of scripture. All I was aquainted with was the usuall bible stories and some passages from the Torah and the psalmes and prophets that were requirered for me to recite to be Bar-Mitvahed. Nothing extensive.
So I am writing here because since I can hear the word of God, and I am mostly deaf, so can others also hear the word of God, not with their ears, but with what you said. You said that you hear the Word of God in your heart, for God has inscribed it there, and I agree.
