Can you read the Bible without the Holy Spirit? No.
Equally! Can you write the Bible without the Holy Spirit. No.
The Bible is not a book which simply responds to the intelligence of the mortal, the Holy Spirit alone reveals the truth to those whom He indwells.
The discussion about english words used implies that the version used is irrelevant, but I refer back to, Can you write the Bible without the Holy Spirit? No. Therefore if God is going to preserve His Word, and obviously HE does, then one method Satan is bound to use is counterfeit bibles, written by the iniquity in man. Time and history records that a variety of Greek Texts as well as versions, have been produced, but the RT/AV have survived through the centuries. Modern versions are just that "modern" and different, (eg NIV with it's Eclectic Texts). The modern version then has NOT survived, but is recently translated with mans ability in mind.
The Holy Spirit is not dependant upon the sinners response, but upon the Book which He has brought through history. |
