[quote=Livefire]Gospel....The greek word for this actually means "good news" not infallibility, altho the word of the Lord is as silver purified in a furnace 7 times.

1> What is the Greek word?

2> Would going through the furnace 8 times make the silver even more pure?

Etymology: Middle English, from Old English gOdspel (translation of Late Latin evangelium), from gOd good + spell tale -- more at SPELL

Whatever you rhink about the etymology of the word gospel, the bottom line is whether the words in the book are true. All of them.

If some of the translated words are known to be factually false, how then does a reader of the book know that any other word is true or untrue?

I begin with the KJV using the word Unicorn. Is the use of the word Unicorn correct or is it incorrect?
