LOL love how those who try to explain that the word of God is without error then say it has error’s in a translation .
The lofty intellectual NOW talks about the Greek and Hebrew but were saved hearing the Gospel in English or a language other than Greek or Hebrew LOL.
Foolishness. You mean to Tell me God is not able to keep HIS word when it is translated into another Language? And the Holy Spirit lacks the ability to reveal Christ in another Language. This is what happens when those so-called learned become elitist of Languages and do not see the context has still been upheld .

Your just playing word games in order to avoid answering the question.
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17
How about that which you heard and the result was a new birth! (1 Peter 1:23)
I do not have to define the word of God because the Bible has already defined it for us!

Stating that the word “surely” is found 7 times in the New Testament of the King James Bible is mystical numerology? No, it is a fact based simply on counting. (Ecclesiastes 7:27; Revelation 13:18) It should be evident that God is concerned with numbers and patterns both in the creation (Genesis 1 and 2) and things that are holy. (Exodus 25:9,40) This is undeniable unless you reject what the Bible says. Do you think it was a coincidence that the greatest earthly king that ever existed was a 7th son? (1 Chronicles 2:15) How many times did the child sneeze in 2 Kings 4:35?
Why did Elisha have Naaman “wash” 7 times in the Jordan river in order to be “clean?”
2 Kings 5:14 is the 238th (7 x 34) occurrence of the word “seven” in the Bible.
In the 77th chapter of the New Testament we read:
“…Go, wash in the pool of Siloam,…” (John 9:7)
and the 7th occurrence of the word “wash” in the New Testament is John 9:11;
“A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.” (John 9:11)
The word “wash” is found 14 (7 x 2) times in 7 chapters of the New Testament and in 70 verses of the Old Testament.
All forms of the word “wash” (washed, washing etc.) are found:
148 (37 x 4) times in the Bible in 133 (7 x 19) verses and 77 chapters of the Bible!
111 (37 x 3) times in the Old Testament in 56 (7 x 8) chapters
37 times in the New Testament in 21 (3 x 7) chapters
In the 49th (7 x 7) book of the Bible we read:
“That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,” (Ephesians 5:26) and Ephesians is the 7th book in the Bible that contains the word washing and it is the 407th (37 x 11) verse in the Bible that contains the phrase “the word.” The word “cleanse” in this verse is the 28th (7x 4) verse of the NT containing any form of the word “clean” and it is again the 7th book to do so.
“word of God” is found 49 (7 x 7) times in the King James Bible.
“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” (John 15:3)

I believe that God uses imperfect people to transmit and preserve His Word.
God is certainly able to insure that His Word is transmitted perfectly without error; but I believe that He has NOT elected to do so.
Instead, I believe that He has allowed transcription errors in the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts that are available; and translation errors in all translations.
I believe that NONE of those errors is of such a nature that it in any way corrupts God's message; And that God's Word, regardless of translation [and in spite of all errors], is still totally reliable for sound doctrine in ALL matters of faith and practice.

Jesus did not say walk in the Bible, He said walk in the Spirit. He said to seek and find. If those who are seeking find errors, should we all just remain ignorant. The Bible was written to people who were taking their first steps as Christians. To assume that all truth and understanding is limited to the Bible in any language would be like teaching a child the alphabet and then tell him he now has a complete knowledge of English....especially if some of the letters were omitted in the lessons.
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63)
"This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" Galatians 3:2
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:" (Ephesians 6:17)
"Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." 1 Corinthians 2:13
How can you walk after the Spirit apart from God's word?
