And before the printing press? Or the quill and ink?
In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and The Word was God.
Jesus chastised the Hebrews for seeking him in books while denying the one that stood before them as God in action. When God cannot be contained in structures built by the hands of man he also cannot be contained in the tomes bound by hand.

when i see the changes in Gods word it does concern me i am greatly concerned that the evil one has come in like a Trojan horse through the back door to water down Gods word...His written word...the devil does not play fair..love in Christ Sherril..
This is why there are changes from what we see in the KJV. I love the KJV translation of Luke 2:14, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." But is it a good translation? Is there good will toward men or good will only toward those who with whom God is pleased, as many (perhaps all) of the modern versions have it?
This is not a matter of the evil one coming in as a Trojan horse at all. It is one of responsibly making available a bible as close as possible to the original text.
Does this help clarify things?

As far as English translations and paraphrases of scripture published to date there are over 900.

Many people think they know God by the book. But God is a spirit and he was The Word before anything that is created was created. His kingdom is within you.
Jesus said seek and ye shall find. "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"
The kingdom is within.
God bless and protect you.

There are thousands of manuscripts that exist and contain inspirations from God. Thousands.
Are they of no avail? Please remember that we do not have the original writings that predate the scriptures in today's Bibles. Those were called, Autographs.
Rather, we have copies across the ages. But not the original texts or inspired words of God.

Not sure the original writings = the autographs, YDo.

This may have been brought up in an earlier comment, but translating from Hebrew or Greek to English can be problematic in some cases. I am no authority on this, but our English language has evolved over time. The copies of the original documents we do have contain what the writer intended, and translating that over to English becomes the point. The KJV was translated in 1611. Boy has English changed since then!

Please, I would implore you to seek other sources than the Christian turned Agnostic and yet still permitted to be a tenured New Testament professor at a Christian university, Bart Ehrman.
Have you read his books, Forged and Misquoting Jesus?
Ehrman's purpose in his teaching New Testament studies today at the Christian college that permits him tenure is to lead his students to atheism.
Try Dr. Daniel Wallace. Dan has known Bart for decades and they debate frequently. Dr.Wallace is a Senior Research Professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is also the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts.

Why would the sodomite King James aka Queen James (look it up) want baptizo rendered immerse when they were sprinkling babies? Let's just transliterate it and hide what it means!! Lol!
And kjvo cultists don't bat an eye even when they're vehemently against sprinkling.
Just another of their fluctuating standards.

And to make it more clear as I will not indulge your behavior again in this thread, there is not one thing in my original remarks to you concerning Bart Ehrman that comports with your criticism of those here.
In fact, my remarks coincided with the conclusions of the GC concerning Ehrman. Which is why I suggested a more qualified source, who offers free Bible study on the web also, Dr. Daniel Wallace.
