Bible Fact

How do we know the Bible is accurate ?

What I mean is , how do we know that after all the thousands of times the Bible has been copied , by hand , I must add , that it stays true to the original manuscripts?

The answer is actually amazing . The Hebrew scribes had an ingenious method of copying the holy text . Every Hebrew(old testament) and Greek(new testament) letter has a numerical value . Therefor ,every passage or page ,depending on how you divide the layout of the book , has a sum total . So what they did was ,after every passage they added the numerical values of all the letters in the passage and this number had to be the same as the previous copy's . Painstaking / back aching work.

It gives new meaning to Rev.22:17,18 : "The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, "

They made REAL sure they copied a perfect copy EVERY TIME , nothing more and nothing less.

Awesome!!
