OK, now I have question. What about the parts of the Bible indicating that God's word would never disapear?
From the NASB:
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Luke 21:33 A)">Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
That kind of indicates that there would never be a time when God's word was lost, doesn't it?
God's word has always been present, and men have always been inspired. The Bible was never lost, and his words yet rang true, even during the darkness of apostasy. I don't interpret such scripture to mean there will never be apostasy.
