4/11 Gabel Presentations

Waleska did the texts of the Bible for her Gabel presentation. She noted that the only way to produce more bibles is to copy them. This creates alterations and differences. With the evolution of Christianity, they needed the Bible to keep up with it. That being said, how can we know if the Bible is really true? The farther you go back, the more variant and confusing the translations were. For our class, we were told to purchase the Harper Collins Study Bible, however, nto every student has this version. Others have different versions. For example, I am aware that Bernice was using a King James Version. I remember that during a class discussion, we noted that in the H.C version, it said that an evil spirit of God was in Samuel, while in Bernice’s it said that the spirit was distressful. While I do not remember the exact wording, I thought it was interesting how the kIng James version used different wording to make God seem less harsh.
