Today we have another great question about the Bible.
And it's one I've heard dozens of times in my Christian life.
It says, "How do you respond to someone that questions the teachings of the Bible
due to how many times it's been translated?"
It's a great question, huh?
The Bible was written starting with Moses, about 14,1500 BC.
And ended with the writings of John in the 90s, maybe up to 100 AD.
That's a lot of time to play the telephone game, right?
To copy one page of the Bible to another page, to another page,
over all those years,
all those people, flawed, broken, mistaken, confused, distracted people.
How do we know this is actually what God says?
I have two answers for that question.
The first one comes from God.
Jesus promised that not a dot, not a single letter of God's Word, would be lost.
Later in the first century, Jesus' friend, Peter, said this,
He was quoting a passage from the Old Testament
that God's Word would endure forever.
No one would destroy it.
No one would lose it.
No one would twist it so much that we wouldn't have it.
Now, it's true, if you google it you'll find that there are a lot of variants in the Bible.
What that means is, with all the copies and copies and copies,
sometimes the wording is different.
But, but here's this incredible comfort.
Did you know less than 1% of the 31,173 verses in the Bible have any disputes?
And out of that 1% of those verses, none of them put any of the teachings of the Bible into question?
There might be a variance where one manuscript says "God the Lord"
and another says "the Lord God."
There might be a question about this little phrase,
but that phrase is something that's repeated in 15 other Bible passages.
And so when this person asks, "How do you respond to someone that questions the teachings of the Bible,"
I would say the Bible's teachings have never been in question.
If you're interested in digging in more, Google what happened
when they found the Dead Sea Scrolls,
proof that a scroll that was a thousand years earlier than the most recent one we had,
was almost an exact match.
That God's been faithful.
He kept his promise and preserved his Word,
so that you know when God talks about his grace and his love for you,
you don't have to question it one bit.
It's true and his Word endures forever.
I'm honored to be hosting the 'Time of Grace' television program this week.
Pastor Mark Jeske is going to open God's Word
and remind us of the powerful and beautiful work
of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and in our lives.

Common Ground - Duration: 1:14.
For a hundred years presidents from both parties designated special locations
as National Monuments
to protect them for all Americans.
But now the Secretary of the Interior
wants to undo this legacy and put private interests ahead of
environmental and local economic needs.
Our own San Gabriel Mountains
are among those national monuments that are threatened.
It's time for Angelenos to come together
to let Washington DC know that we are united
and we want to preserve California's public lands.
This is our common ground
regardless of political party.
Speak up against privatizing public lands.
The deadline for comments is July 10th.
Please take ACTION.

Uni isn't for everyone: How Amy found her own path through the year 12 exams - Duration: 2:39.
My school was saying that it was the
be-all and end-all of my entire life.
Nup, not at all
Amy Taylor - I'm 19 and I finished school in 2015.
The subjects I did for my HSC
was Earth and Environmental Science, Ancient History, Advanced English,
Extension English, Visual Arts and then
I had to do Religion as
part of the Catholic school curriculum.
My school was drilling it in that
you need to get a good ATAR, and go to uni
and that was the expectation.
The advice I got that wasn't that helpful,
was from my school.
It was, do these things,
and if you study this way, you will succeed.
I found that when I did study that way, it didn't help me,
and I needed to develop my own way of studying.
But they didn't talk at all about
different types of learners,
like visual learners and kinesthetic learners.
They just sort of said, read your textbooks,
repeat what you've read,
quiz yourself, that sort of thing.
And when that wasn't working for me,
it made me really stressed because
it was like, I'm not going to succeed,
I don't know how to study,
and I'm not studying the right way.
It was when I actually found my own way of
studying that I was less stressed out.
Mum gave me the best advice which was,
do your best and be happy with what your best is.
She was always telling to me
that it doesn't matter what your results say,
as long as you can be proud
and know that that is your best
then you'll be able to be happy and look back
and not have any regrets about it.
And also saying that it wasn't the end of the world.
Both my parents constantly said that to me.
When my results came through
and I looked at them,
I was really proud of what I'd gotten
and it wasn't the highest ATAR in the world
but it wasn't a low ATAR
and it was my best there
and I knew that it was my best.
At the end of Year 12
I thought I would be going to Macquarie Uni
and doing a course in Early Childhood,
but then I found that when I visited the unis
and visited a TAFE,
that the TAFE environment appealed more to me.
By the end of year 12 I'd been
accepted into TAFE already
and so I sort of just started that
a couple months after
and yeah got right into that,
did an Early Childhood course,
finished my Certificate Three,
finished my diploma,
and yeah I was really enjoying that
and I never even looked at uni after that.
