So Shall My Word Be: Using Biblical Principles to Judge the Modern Bible Versions Movement (1)

In this book, you will find seven Biblical principles that will enable you judge modern Bible versions and the entire modern versions movement.There have been more than 200 English Bible versions published since 1881. They are not all the same. How are we to evaluate them? These versions are part of a connected movement that can be evaluated by applying Bible principles. God has not left us to figure it out alone.

Principle 2: Satan's Master Plan

Principle 3: God is the God of History

Principle 4: God is not the Author of Confusion

Principle 5: God's Word is Truth

Dr. Steve Combs is an ordained minister. He spent his early years in Kentucky, Virginia, and finally Ohio. He was not raised in a Christian home. He had some Christian influence from his grandmother, but that had little effect on him. Due to discussions with a Baptist preacher and a Sunday School teacher, who visited his home, he began to read the Bible. The Word of God had its effect. He came under strong conviction of his sins. A friend invited him to a nearby church during revival meetings, where he heard the gospel preached. God showed him that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid for his sins when he died on the cross and, afterward, rose physically from the dead. He believed it with all his heart and, as a result, he was born spiritually into the family of God and saved from condemnation for his sins. Since then there have been major transformations to his life. God called him to preach and enabled a backward shy individual suffering from an inferiority complex to stand before crowds and confidently proclaim the Word of God. God gave him a business background as a CPA and God put him in several ministry positions. He has served as a Bible Institute teacher and Dean, a youth pastor, assistant pastor, and a senior pastor. He holds a Doctor of Theology degree from Covington Theological Seminary. Currently Steve Combs is Assistant Director and a Global Translation Advisor for Global Bible Translators/ Bearing Precious Seed Global, www.bpsglobal.com. Global Bible Translators starts and assists Bible translation projects around the world. He is married and has four married children.
