The Bible – it’s like the game of telephone!

Translation vs. Transmission

Objection: You can't trust the bible because it's been translated so many times.

There are those that will argue that you can’t trust the Bible because it’s been translated so many times. The idea is like the game of telephone you played in grade school – someone whispers something in your ear, you whisper it to the next person, and so on. By the time it gets around the room the last person gets up and says something that is totally incomprehensible to what was originally said and everyone laughs. So the conclusion is that we can’t trust the Bible because of the same problems.
