In David Green's sermon, 'Clip: The Word Preserved,' he emphasizes that while the scribes and translators of the Bible were not inspired in the same way as the original authors, the essence of the Word of God remains intact across various translations. Green asserts that the Bible, whether it's the King James, Geneva, or Legacy Standard version, is the preserved, sufficient, infallible, inerrant, authoritative, and certain Word of God. He reassures believers that they can confidently refer to these translations as the authentic Word of God, highlighting the divine preservation of scripture through translation into English.
What am I saying? What I'm saying is that we can't say that the scribes that copied the Scriptures, the men who copied the scriptures, the men who translated the scriptures, were inspired or that God breathed into those writings the same way that he did with the original. What does that mean? Does that mean that we have the Word of God? The answer is yes, we do.
God has preserved his word. I can pick up my King James Bible and confidently say, I have the word of God. I can pick up the Geneva Bible and say, I've got the word of God. I can pick up my legacy standard Bible and say, I've got the word of God. I can pick up my legacy standard Bible and say I've got the word of God.
The sufficient, infallible, inerrant, authoritative, and certain sure Word of God that's been translated into English.
