Where is we get the New Testament in English? What was the involvement of John Wycliffe and William Tyndale? What about the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible? Is the best New Testament text the Traditional Text? Were the Apostles Paul, Peter, and John involved in putting together the New Testament? Were the canons passed on to Polycarp of Smyrna from the Apostle John? Did those of Philipi and Ephesus (like Polycrates) know them in the second century? What about Serapion of Antioch in the third century? Was Lucian of Antioch involved in what became known as the Textus Receptus? What about the proto-Waldenses and actual Waldensians? Was the translation of the King James Version of the Bible inspired by God? Does the Authorized Version have translation errors? What about hell, Gehenna, and Hades? Did Erasmus originally include the trinitarian addition to 1 John 5:7-8? What do scholars and historical records (like the Codex Sinaiticus) show about the "Johannine comma'? Does the 'A Faithful Version" always get the gender of the Holy Spirit correct? Is there a perfect translation into English that is always 100% reliable? Which translations into English use the best original manuscripts? Did many Protestant translators since Westcott and Hort use inferior Egyptian/Alexandrian New Testament texts instead of the more reliable Byzantine/Syriac Tradition Text/Textus Receptus? What about Nestle-Alland? What is a paraphrase and what can one be good for? Why does the Continuing Church of God often use the New King James Version? What is something superior about the AFV, KJV, NKJV, MEV, YLT, GLT, and Interlinear Bible over the ASV, HCSB, NAB, NIV, NRSV, and NWT versions? What about Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Jehovah's Witness', and other Bibles? Has the true Church of God maintained a chain of custody of the Bible since the death of the last apostle? Dr. Thiel address these and more in this sermon.
