Welcome to the Sahih Bukhari Web Application
In her Bible Commentary Mrs. Ellen G. White,
of the Seventh Day Adventist Church makes a confession about how copyists
of the Bible had made errors in their transcribing:
“The Bible we read today is the work of many copyists
who have in most instances done their work with marvellous accuracy. But
copyists have not been infallible, and God most evidently has not seen fit to
preserve them altogether from error in transcribing.” In the Following
Pages of Her Commentary, She Testifies Further: “I saw that God had
especially guarded the Bible, yet when copies of it were few, learned men
had in some instances changed the words, thinking that they were making it
plain, when in reality they were mystifying that which was plain, by causing
it to lean to their established views, which were governed by tradition.”
