    “When I hear it said, “Such and such do not believe the doctrines of sovereign grace and substitution, but they love the Lord and are saved,” I wonder and ask, “What then was the Bible written for?”

    Is it no infallible expression of the mind of GOD? Is it no standard of Truth? Are we to believe what appeals to us and deny the rest? God forbid! God’s Word declares the oneness of Truth and condemns every departure from the Truth as a direct attack on God Himself!

    Do not tell me that a man’s heart is right with God when his head contains a creed of error and denies the Person and Work of the Redeemer.” - Horatius Bonar

    The word of our God stands for ever...
    Isaiah 40:8

    But aren't there people that say, "Yeah, but not in English."

    Well, what did Jesus explain to the Devil? ". . . It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

    Yeah. In the originals only but not in translations.

    Oh, so God's word is always made void by translation. Few things to note here. That reference is a double translation. Hebrew or Aramaic to Greek to English. That word translated God from the Hebrew being God by His Name. See Deuteronomy 8:3. And God's word is not limited to what is written, Psalms 19:4 per Romans 10:17-18.

    So then, your translation is the word of God?

    Is it inspired?
