Can we trust the Bible translations?

Theology is life. A daily dose of Biblical teaching and reflection from Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller of St Paul and Jesus Deaf Lutheran Churches in Austin, TX.

Today's question is from Bennie, who asks:

Hello, I love your YouTube videos and have a question. Which translation of the bible do you use and why? After research and study, I have come to the conclusion that the received text is the preserved word of God. I know the history of the critical text and find it questionable at best. There is no providence to it, it just mysteriously shows up in the form of the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. Whereas the Textus Receptus has a preserved history. Besides, that is what Luther translated from. Thank you and I value your opinion.
