Textual Criticism Bible versions and translations General overview of the Bible Using common sense to interpret the Scriptures A word about hermeneutics More about hermeneutics Interpreting sentences and words Figurative language More on figurative language The language of prophecy By David Webb Accurately Handling the Word of Truth By David Webb 2 The Trustworthiness of God's Divinely Inspired Word? Lesson One Is the Bible trustworthy? Has the Bible been altered or corrupted over the centuries to the point where it can no longer be considered the Word of God? Can we rule out the possibility that men may have conspired in secret to pervert the Scriptures by incorporating their own uninspired teachings into the Bible? How do we know if the Bible we have today is the same as the Scriptures written by inspired men more than two and three thousand years ago? Since we do not have the original manuscripts of either the Old or New Testaments, we must rely on copies of copies of those manuscripts. Can we really trust that there have been no significant changes or that no errors were made in the process of copying the Scriptures? The Scriptures are under attack in our day as much as any time in past history. Skeptics repeatedly claim the Bible as we know it could not have originated from only one source (God) since they assert the Scriptures are filled with numerous historical, textual and doctrinal contradictions. This has led many critics to regard the Bible as purely a product of human invention.

  • Leather Terminology
    LEATHER TERMINOLOGY A ANILINE DYEING:​ The dyeing process by which soluble dyes penetrate the cell layers throughout the hide. The dye colours the leather without producing the uniform surface of a topcoat paint or insoluble pigmented sealant. The resulting product retains the hide's natural surface. Any visible variations on the surface of the undyed leather such as visible pores, scars, or other blemishes will remain visible. For this reason, only high-quality leather is suitable for aniline finishing and pure aniline leathers represent approximately 5% of all leathers produced worldwide. ANTIQUE DISTRESSED GRAIN:​ ​Antique distressed leather, or leather grain, is any type of leather, which has been treated to age the appearance of the material to give it an antique or vintage look. ALTERED LEATHER: ​Leather that has had the original surface of the skin or hide removed, (usually due to imperfections in the original grain surface), and a new grain embossed into the leather. This is also called CORRECTED GRAIN.​ Most top-grain leathers have altered or corrected grain. ​ AMERICAN BISON:​ American Bison Leather is stronger than traditional steer hide and is also supple and durable. They showcase marks of a range animal, the natural grain of bison hides is not corrected with artificial embossing or plating. B BARK TANNING:​ Vegetable-tanning mainly by means of tannins from the bark of trees BELLY:​ The part of the hide covering the underside and the upper part of the legs of the animal. BELTING LEATHER:​ Generally a heavyweight, full-grain leather, which was originally manufactured to create pulley belts during the industrial revolution.
