Many times when your trying to witness to someone and lead them to Jesus, they will come up with these lies from the devil and say to you “ How can you believe in the Bible? It has been changed so many times.” What would you say to them? “but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”(1 Peter 3:15). You have got to dispel the vaporous venom and fairy tell lies from the devil, and give them the truth. Just tell them the Bible was originally written in Hebrew which is called the Old Testament and the New Testament was originally written in Greek. The Old Testament was translated from Hebrew into Greek in 250 BC under the reign of King Philadelphus of Greece. This was called the Septuagint, this is an established Historical fact taught in Colleges and Universities around the World. The New Testament was translated into English in 1611 AD under the reign of King James of England. This was a time when heretics where burned at the stake. It took seventy Scholars ten years to accomplish this mission and they were very care full not to make any mistakes as they feared for their lives. The Old Testament was found written down on scrolls, when they where discovered in 1947 and called the Dead Sea Scrolls. They are said to be supernaturally identical to The King James Bible. All the Old Testament Books were found except the Book of Esther. So you see the Bible hasn’t been changed from it’s original translations.

Here is some basic Bible knowledge for you. There are 66 books in the Bible. 39 Books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. It was written by 40 different Prophets and men of God over a 1500 year period as the Holy Ghost spoke through them. The sixty-six books that make up the Bible were written over a span of approximately 1,500 years. This does not mean it took 1,500 solid years of writing to complete the Bible. Rather, it took this long for the entirety of the canon of Scripture to be completed, as God revealed His Word to people in His own timing. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”(2 Timothy 3:16). This is proven by all the many fulfilled prophecies in the Bible. Peter who lived with Jesus and followed him and saw all his miracles said There was a more sure way to believe from the fulfilled prophecies. “For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.”(2 Peter 1:17-20 ). The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. Just be sure you use the original anointed , inspired Authorized King James Version, because some of these newer versions have out right lies and watered down changes.
