Dear God
When I cried out to Jesus and He came in to my life that night, was what I felt real or just my interpretation of what I thought I should experience although I did not know You at all?
And the Bible You knew I would be given as a gift at my baptism the same Bible You knew I would learn that every Word is true and that I can stand on every Word and grow in my faith, was that not quite true either, and it is as people say someone else s interpretation of what You might have said and what You may have meant and who You may have been?
So God, when You knew Your Word would go out to all nations in to different languages, you also knew that the Word You sent out was also marred by the insights and interpretations of imperfect man regardless of Your power and Your Spirit to keep it complete and infallible and inspired?
Why do You allow me though I have experienced your presence to grow wise in a translation that is corrupt and not meant to be taken literally, and allow others who are apparently lost to your insight scwobble blindly in the pages of Hebrew scripts, Lord in my time I have only experienced those who deny the oneness of The Three and the divinity of Christ as God the Son, quoting from the Hebrew translations. If their Word has a truer meaning then how can they be so misguided how can they be so wrong?
Have I been wrong Father, have I been misguided by taking your word literally??
As a Christian I seek You in Your Word so that I may know You as You knew that I would, why would You give me a corrupt bible to build upon a true and real experience, An experience You Yourself gave me, one that I can not deny.
God when I read your Word, can I really take each word in its contemporary form as literal and infallible though in the Spirit of truth that You said protects it as I should take my contemporary salvation?
If Your Word is not true in the pages that lay in my Lap how can I believe in the promises You made, and how can I know that it is truly You that I seek, why would you do this to me?
No, I know your Word is true, because God you are the Alpha and Omega and You are the same today as You were yesterday and your Word is the same today in the hands of those you love as it was in the translations of those You loved in the beginning.
The translation I read is how You have decided to communicate with me today and because this is true I can know that every word I read is what You mean and what You meant.
I am lifted up to You Father when I read from Your Word and I am filled to the brim with Your Spirit and I am encouraged by every Word because You speak truth and You give light by it, not a single Word is out of place not a single letter purged.
When I am confronted with conflict Lord you bring Scripture to mind and I am in my own fallible wisdom given insight beyond my understanding and I can stand strong against the empty words of men in the power of Your might in Your Word, every single letter every full stop and every coma.
Apart from my Salvation it is my dearest possession and I will guard every word with my life, because by it You my God have chosen to reach out to me though I did not deserve You.
Lord when others try to tell me that Your Word is not true and that I can not take it literally it feels like a cold shiver running down the length of my spine and I am left with a pain in my stomach.
I have prayed many times Father that you would correct in me any teaching that is untrue, and You have done so every-time, but never have I been corrected by Your guiding Spirit because of any Word I have read in the Bible I was given.
Thank you Father God for your Word that I might be closer to you and that I might worship you with all my heart mind and spirit. you Word literal and true nourishes me and I walk by faith and I am strengthened everyday by every literal letter regardless of what the others may say, I will listen to You above the rational of men, because your thoughts are higher then their thoughts and Your ways higher then their ways. (Isa 55:9)
You Word is my life blood Father God, and when I asked Christ in to my life did You give me a rock or a snake? (Matthew 7:9-10)
No you gave me all I have asked for because I have sought it and the Words You have given me are the Words You wanted me to have so that I may know You Great and Majestic Father. God of my life and Lord of my Salvation.
I shall trust in every word and praise you with every contemporary letter.
Amen Amen Amen

Because of its importance and its claim to be the very Word of God, the Bible has suffered more vicious attacks and attempts to destroy it than any other book in history. From early Roman Emperors like Diocletian, through communist dictators and on to modern-day atheists and agnostics, the Bible has withstood and outlasted all of its attackers and is still today the most widely published book in the world.
Throughout time, skeptics have regarded the Bible as mythological, but archeology has confirmed it as historical. Opponents have attacked its teaching as primitive and outdated, but its moral and legal concepts and teachings have had a positive influence on societies and cultures throughout the world. It continues to be attacked by pseudo-science, psychology, and political movements, yet it remains just as true and relevant today as it was when it was first written. It is a book that has transformed countless lives and cultures throughout the last 2000 years. No matter how its opponents try to attack, destroy, or discredit it, the Bible remains; its veracity and impact on lives is unmistakable. The accuracy which has been preserved despite every attempt to corrupt, attack, or destroy it is clear testimony to the fact that the Bible is truly God’s Word and is supernaturally protected by Him. It should not surprise us that, no matter how the Bible is attacked, it always comes out unchanged and unscathed. After all, Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Mark 13:31). After looking at the evidence, one can say without a doubt that, yes, the Bible is truly God’s Word." (:http://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-God-Word.html#ixzz37TSdocXs)
