Ranking Bible Translations: Which Ones to Trust (and Which to Avoid) | Live Free with Josh Howerton

About this sermon

Which Bible translation should you actually trust, and are there some translations you should avoid altogether?  In this episode, you’ll learn: • How different Bible translations are created and why that matters • Which translations are best for reading, studying, and teaching • Why some translations weaken clarity and conviction • How Jesus used Scripture to defeat temptation • Why temptation itself is not sin, and how to recognize the real battle • The three predictable ways Satan tempts every person • How authority, dominion, and redemption fit into the biblical story • Why “It is written” is more than a phrase...it’s a strategy Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton help you read the Bible with confidence, confront temptation with clarity, and see Scripture as one unified story, rather than a collection of disconnected verses. Watch to the end; this will sharpen how you read the Bible and live it out. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode! 👇 DON’T MISS OUT!
