COMING
SOON-THE FINAL ECUMENICAL BIBLE?
|
|
In
view of the multiplicity of Bible translations, over 150 new English versions
since 1951, and the hot debate now raging among professing Fundamentalists
over this controversial issue, the natural question arises, is this deluge
of translations preparation for a final single Satanic end-time ecumenical
version that the world and world church will universally accept? |

A
PERCEPTIVE PREDICTION
|
| In
a lengthy Straightway periodical (June-July 2005) article entitled
"Why So Many Bible Versions Today," editor Dr. H. T. Spence penned
one of the most discerning treatises this writer has ever read regarding
the plethora of Bible translations/versions that are flooding the religious
market today. Dr. Spence stated: "Is the multi-version debate preparing the world for a coming final version? No doubt, this final version will have all the ingredients needed to be accepted by the world church. Is the present plethora of English versions merely a collection of forerunners needed to acclimate 'the church' for diversity of thought and interpretation? What will be final 'version' be called? Though the New International Version [NIV] in recent years has outsold the KJV as the new 'accepted' version, what will be on the horizon next year and the next? What surprising find will draw the church scholars into a carnal frenzy and cry, 'We have found the true Bible.' The Church of earth is accepting the trend of change even in their view of God and His Word, ever changing with every generation. As the NIV is accepted today by a strong portion of the New Age Movement, what version out there will be accepted by all lifestyles, all beliefs, all religions, and all ethnic groups? The Antichrist will not come at the beginning necessarily denying the Word of God but simply questioning as the serpent, 'Yea, hath God said?' This is the great controversy of the 'versions' debate today-it is a serpentine debate." (p. 12) |

A
MISSING NOTE IN MODERN FUNDAMENTALISM
|
| The
F. D. editor believes Dr. Spence's analysis is correct. Via the deluge of
modern versions, Satan is endeavoring to break down Fundamentalist resistance
to his planned end-time harlot one-world ecumenical church. When was the
last time anyone heard a professing Fundamentalist who advocates the critical
text give a public expose of the modern Bible translations at a national
fellowship meeting? Where are the published books exposing the unreliable modern translations written and published by Fundamentalist Critical Text [CT] advocates? They are virtually non-existent! The apathy-the deafening silence-regarding expose by critical text advocates who claim the historic Biblical Fundamentalist label is both appalling and revealing! Apathy towards expose of the critical text has turned into antipathy towards the correct text, and this antipathy will eventually culminate in affirmation of a final cursed text! The writer earnestly pleads with his erring brethren to forsake the unreliable liberal critical text and to embrace the historic Received Text [TR], the text received by Bible-believing churches down through the centuries, the text upon which the reliable trustworthy KJV is based. |
