The NASB has "Holy Spirit" in verse 6 and "Spirit of Jesus" in verse 7. I thought the KJV might have the same, but it doesn't. The Greek interlinear versions I have differ on that; one has "Jesus", the other doesn't. I suspect a textual issue there that needs further investigation.
This statement is very problematic.
The original language text WERE authoritative and any copies that are exact duplicates of the originals are still authoritative. The word of God isn't bound by words, there are many different words that can convey whatever was conveyed in the originals. However, some words can give even more revelation than the original words.
By updated I mean we were given words that give better understanding of things that were previously written. Not new ideas or new concepts, just wording changes that help us better understand what was originally written.
I completely agree. Some revised Bibles intentionally change words to be give a diffident meaning. Some do it to be more “Inclusive”.
Updating the words DEMANDS inspiration or else all bibles are just a group of men's interpretation of the word of God.
I agree. I dare to say most don’t. Case in point, Luke 1:30. RRC changed the verbiage from “Favored with grace” to “Full of grace”.
That is my point exactly. The RCC translated based on THEIR view of God and Mary. That's why I keep saying that if God didn't inspire the translation our bibles, then we don't have anything remotely close to his word. God is the only one capable of translating and preserving his word in all languages.
God can do as he wishes, however unless he specifically directs I don't trust "up dated" any thing. I believe he gave his word to us and it's best we hold to the utter most to directly translate as possible, and this will be directed by the Holy Spirit. I don't believe we have authority to "up date" anything. Both Mormons and JWs and there are others who have "up dated" the text, and they claim to be at the directive of the Holy Spirit.
To me it's not about proving anything, but rather understanding the issues better.
It has always been that God used men to write scripture. Which man among us is God's anointed to write scripture now? According to this philosophy of thought the JW, Bible or Mormon Bible, or even this new queen James Bible could be the scriptures updated. How do you know?
You kind of in danger of montanism here, that new revelation takes precedence over existing text.
There are many who have and continue to believe that God gives them new revelations. Of course the are compete deceivers as not one their proclamations have come to fruition.
All of those you mentioned could have been updated scriptures, but what but prevents them from being so? They added to the word of God and they contradict their own writings.
