BIBLE   
QUESTIONS & ANSWERES
By Garreth L. Clair
 
 
QUESTIONS NUMBER 15, 16, 17
 
Brother Clair:
[1] Are there cases of mistranslation in our Bible today that needs to be 
corrected? [2] Are there problems with the existing Bibles that we have available 
today? [3] Can we depend on the A.S.V. and the K.J.V. Translations?
 
ANSWER:
NO! NO! YES!
Patience in seeking truth, a necessity
Garreth L. Clair
 
John 8:32, “and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 
ASV
John 17:17, “Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.” ASV
2 Tim 3:16-17, “16 Every scripture inspired of God (is) also profitable for 
teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in 
righteousness. 17 That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every 
good work.” ASV
 
One of the problems with most of us is a lack of patience whenever we 
undertake a study of a difficult passage of Scripture. First, we ought to know that 
God would never give us a book that we cannot understand and then make our hope 
of heaven depend upon understanding it. There are many people connected to 
some man-made religious institution that will tell us certain parts of the Bible 
cannot be understood and that because of this problem we must be charitable 
toward those that do not agree with us.
 
Perhaps we need to look at the Bible as a book edited by an absolutely 
perfect source, consequently that book cannot contain error of any kind. Whenever we 
undertake an examination of a preconceived ideal, if our opinions conflict 
with the Bible we must reexamine our conclusions --- We must never charge the 
Bible with error. Whenever we cannot understand the Bible in a passage in it we 
must seek help from others in understanding, no passage is impossible of 
understanding. Since no passage of Holy Scripture is impossible of understanding we 
must patiently pursue a solution of the problem making sure that our 
conclusions do not contradict other passages of Scripture in another place.
