Are all Bible translations the same? What about the underlying texts? Are they all equally authoritative? JUST WHERE IS THE VERY WORD OF GOD? If you say that God's Word is in the autographs, that is, the documents actually penned by the Apostles and Prophets, you'd be correct ... but the problem arises in the fact that we don't have any autographs! All we have are copies of copies! This is known as apographic evidence, and there are two main bodies of apographs for the New Testament, the majority family (Byzantine family) and the minority family (Alexandrian family). Almost all modern English translations depend on the minority texts.
